On January 26, in the Mozhaisk district of the Moscow region, the first stage of the AMA Battle Cup was held at the Aliskino Motorsport Arena Autrome. Among the participants are the famous athletes: the current Russian rally champion Boris Gadasin, the holder of the Russian Cup for Rally-Raidam, the last Russian pilot of Formula 1 Nikita Mazepin, as well as one of the most titled Russian auto and motorcycle workers Anastasia Nifontova.
Anton Koloskov At 9 a.m., 10 strongest crews went to the Progli Start. After the first high -speed special world, athletes were waiting for the traditional procedure for choosing starting positions. The honor of opening the second SU went to Anastasia Nifontova.
Anton Koloskov Under the starting number 107 was Boris Gadasin, the G-Force Motorsport team.
Akim Ivkin 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
Anton Koloskov After the break, the race continued on the cross track.
Anton Koloskov 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.
Anton Koloskov 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!
Anton Koloskov 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.
Akim Ivkin 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.

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! “
