team driverMaster KAMAZ » Edward Nikolaev shared his emotions following his participation in the Silk Way rally-raid.
In the truck standings, Nikolaev took second place, losing more than an hour to teammate Dmitry Sotnikov.
– I still can’t believe it, tomorrow we’ll go back to the house. It is difficult to add something, in fact, a very cool run turned out. I would like to thank the organizers for finding the opportunity and for having managed to organize such a rally in difficult times. A very interesting and intense course, very instructive both technically and personally. We are happy that everything went well and that all our guys finished. At home, we will draw conclusions and debrief technically.
I really liked yesterday’s special, especially its first part – Archedinsky Sands. Cool road, I like this offroad. Today we overcame about seven fords. Not as powerful as yesterday, but still. The brakes overheated today, as today has a fast stage and active braking, so those fords even helped us cool the brakes today.
At home, I go fishing first (laughs). Many participants liked the race, there will be good reviews. A wish to the organizers and a big request: that they find an opportunity by all means and organize the next Silk Way Rally,” Nikolaev told reporters.
The distance of the last stage from Lipetsk to Moscow was almost 513 km, the special 118 km.
