VRT team driver Vladimir Vasiliev commented on his performance on stage six of the Silk Way Rally Marathon, saying the steering wheel fell off his car.
Off-road leader Vasiliev clocked a time of 5 hours 14 minutes 51 seconds on the stage with a 480 km special.
– Today, without major incident, except for the steering wheel unscrewed in passing. I don’t know how it happened: I just drive, watch, and the steering wheel is already in my hands. Thank goodness not at full speed, managed to stop.
This year the wheels were saved, there was not a single stone. Today the stage was easier, because these “jumps” are knocked out. And today is normal, a fast rally, turn signals, there is no “dy-dy-dy” on the bumps. More precisely, first they were the first 150-200 km, then the best road went, the Kalmyk paths, ”Vasilyev told reporters.
The “Silk Way” rally-raid will end in Moscow on July 16.
