The Belarusian team “MAZ-SPORTauto” came to the rally-raid “Silk Way” to win the race, said the leader and the pilot of the team Sergei Viazovitch .
The Silk Road will run from July 6 to July 16, starting in Astrakhan and ending in Moscow. The total length will be 4380 kilometers, of which 2800 kilometers will be special stages.
“Thanks to MAZ factory for support in difficult times, with their help we made it to the Silk Way Rally. Our trucks are blowing steam waiting for tomorrow’s prologue. And let MAZ win at the end of the race Vyazovich said at a press conference.
– We always try to perform at a high level, despite the composition of the participants. If Airat Mardeev and Anton Shibalov (both miss the race – approx. “”) played today, they would strengthen the team. Hopefully we will see them next year,” added Dmitry Sotnikov, three-time Silk Way Rally winner, KAMAZ-master team rider.
