Leader and driver of the MAZ-SPORTauto team Sergei Vyazovich After completing the eighth stage of the Silk Way rally marathon, he said the truck’s steering broke in the dunes and repairs took more than an hour.
The eighth stage of the rally on the Altai-Altai route will take place on Friday in Mongolia. The current winner of the truck category, Vyazovich, was in the lead after seven stages.
— From the very beginning, Bogdan Karimov from KAMAZ-master took the wrong direction, and we remained the openers, although we had not planned for this. We accomplished this task very successfully. At some point in the dunes, the steering lost, they found that the internal oil seal had come off and oil was leaking. For us, this meant only one thing: we could not continue moving. Vitaly Murylev arrived and offered to remove the steering gear from his car. The renovations began. Then Alexey Vishnevsky arrived and with three crews we transferred the steering mechanisms. It took more than an hour, plus the waiting for the guys,” the correspondent reports, according to Vyazovich.
The Silk Road Rally crosses Russia and Mongolia and ends on July 15 in Ulaanbaatar.
