The next two circles of 40 km turned out to be difficult trials, and two buggies got off the distance: the brakes were refused by Andrei Zhigunov’s car, and Pavel Zhuravlev’s crew also ran into technical problems and could not continue the fight. The rest of the crews confidently finished, and after the first rally-raid stage, the three leaders were Nikita Mazepin, Boris Gadasin and Andrey Boksha

After the break, the race continued on the cross track.

The format itself is unusual for the participants, in addition, acute turns, a large number of springboard and the track that was already thoroughly soaked in places forced to distribute strength and spare equipment.

And not in vain: at first, the athletes drove 3 training circles, and then a qualification took place, during which the four circles already determined the groups on the semifinals. During the semi -finals and finals, the athletes also damped four and five circles on the highway, respectively. And in total the pilots rolled along the cross track about 100 kilometers!

When it got dark, the races continued in the light of the spotlights. First, Andrei Boksha was the leader on his powerful Polaris Rzr Pro R on the cross, then he made a couple of errors, and Nikita Mazepin went around it. But even he lost a little more than 4 seconds to Vasily Korolev, who plays for the Atvarmor Racing Team team. However, the final results of the Snow Battle race were calculated according to the sum of rally-raid and cross-country stages.

Before telling about the results of the race, we suggest you scroll through a few particularly spectacular frames from the cross stage. Maybe the participants and cherished the cars, but at the same time they tried to show: there is no non -lethal technique.

Boris Gadasin, G-Force Motorsport, starting number 107, third place: “… I enjoyed it and I think that such a all-around can be a very promising direction. The judges managed to correctly calculate the glasses correctly. The format for us is quite unusual, and this is wonderful. In St. Petersburg, the main problem in the T1 class is that there are no tracks on which you can jump well and check the balance of the car in flight, and there are 14 spring-clips on the highway. We got a new good experience! I am completely delighted! “

The first stage of the Cup of the AMA “Snow Battle” is a competition that combined rally-raid special stages and autocors. It took place at the Aliskino Motorsport Arena autrod in the Mozhaisk district of the Moscow region. The weather did not allow the participants and the organizers to enjoy the winter snow race: the thaw suddenly came, the temperature rose to +3 degrees, and it rained from time to time. But the audience did not lose – the race on the melted soil looked very impressive.
