Belarusian MAZ-SPORTauto team driver Vitaly Murylev told the details of a serious accident on the Russian Baja hills, after which the crew was evacuated for medical assistance.
The accident happened on the last day of the race. Along with Murylev, the crew includes Alexander Shved and Andrey Koptik.
– Bunch [поворотов] – such a place is a magnet for accidents. We drove as long as the car allowed us and our car is fast. I started to cut. When we saw [промоину]There was no option to slow down, we had already understood that: we would be lucky or unlucky. Even if they were well fixed and there was equipment.
The blow was very strong, it fell on my side. I opened my eyes – on the street behind me, then I opened my eyes again – everything was gone. I try to get up – my back hurts. Everyone nearby was groaning, the car caught fire, we began to extinguish it.
It is a pity for the car, the command task was not completed. When you fight against such opponents, you have to take risks. Everyone has had an accident several times; drivers crash more than one car. And we have reached the point where it is difficult to determine whether the risk is worth it or not. I understood that it was necessary at all costs to regain a little more than a minute from Dmitry Sotnikov. They clung to his trail and drove with all their money,” Murylev said in a video published by the MAZ-SPORTauto press service.
Bach “Hills of Russia” is the fourth and final stage of the 2024 Russian Rally Raid Championship.
