Russian racing driver Sergei Karyakin speaking in the off-road vehicle class, told about variator belt problems during stage three of the Silk Way rally-raid.
– After 15 kilometers after the start, the variator belt exploded, they replaced it. We stood for about 40 minutes and walked another 500 meters a few times. We drive in our own way, we don’t need to drive much. Astrakhan is a killer this year, especially the last 70 km was given to shit – it was shaking, bless you. Vanya (the Bezdenezhnykh navigator) liked it, he says he always wants to ride like that (laughs), Karyakin told .
The length of the stage in Astrakhan was 387.02 km, the length of the high-speed section was 322.98 km.
The “Silk Way” rally-raid will end in Moscow on July 16.
