Bogdan Karimov, driver of the KAMAZ master team, told after the completion of the Kagan’s Gold baja that the main result of the race was a decent performance and the absence of serious mistakes on the part of his crew .
Bach “Kagan’s Gold” took place from April 20 to 23 in Astrakhan. For the truck category, it was the first stage of the Russian rally-raid championship. Karimov’s crew took second place.
“It was an excellent start to the season for our young crew. The main thing is that we didn’t make any mistakes during the race. Our team is still training; we are now traveling with experienced navigator Dmitry Nikitin from Anton Shibalov’s crew. We are very satisfied, although after yesterday there was a slight disappointment due to a breakdown, which is why we lost our leadership in the freight classification.
— You were in the lead after two days of racing. Do you feel under pressure?
— It is always there: both before the race and during the competition. I don’t want to disappoint management and my mentors. I always ask the guys on the team for advice; if necessary, they will ride with me. We did a lot of work with Dima Sotnikov before the competition, help with setting up the suspension was provided by Dima, our mechanics Igor Leonov and Ivan Tatarinov, who prepared the car and serviced it every days, Karimov told .
Karimov is 26 years old; the driver debuted as a driver for the KAMAZ-master team in 2022.
