The festival participants are strictly related to terminology: they do not set records, but make test attempts. The results are fixed with precision accuracy according to all the rules of motorsport, and the data is transferred to the Russian automobile Federation (RAF). And only after the RAF sports council approved, these achievements officially become national records. We will not remember the case that the Federation rejects the documented attempt, so for simplicity we will still call achievements with records.

To date, there are only three annual competitions for the establishment of official speed records on cars in different classes: Bonneville Speed Week (USA), World Speed Trit (Australia) and “Days of the velocity on the ice of Lake Baikal” – the only one that takes place on ice.

Wey is the premium marke of the Great Wall Motor concern (it also supplies Haval, Great Wall, Tank and Ora cars to our country, and crossover) [Wey 05](https://motor.ru/news/wey-05-21-02-2024.htm)-an officially represented hybrid in Russia. The power plant consists of gasoline ICE and two electric motors and in total produces 421 horsepower.

On Wey 05, Ilya Kashin surpassed the results in the class of serial electric vehicles and hybrids installed earlier than Maxim Leonov, significantly exceeding the numbers at a distance of 1 km per move and showing an average speed of more than 225 km/h.

Under normal conditions (not on the bare ice), Wey 05 accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, and the maximum speed is 200 kilometers per hour.

So in the record races, a start is made from the place: the car literally in a centimeter rolled to the sensors of the timing system. When the technique is exhibited, and the pilot and judges are ready, the go -ahead is given. The sensors fix the intersection of the starting alignment with a car, and the pilot tries to disperse the car as much as possible until the fixation point is crossing at the finish.

Then the arrival is repeated in the opposite direction. The average speed shown on this measured kilometer is taken as the result of a record attempt. Railing in both directions should occur within an hour, and such rules are developed to level out external influences on the technique: wind, precipitation, condition of the route.

This year, the festival received the name on the title sponsor: this is often done in motorsport abroad. Therefore, the full name is “Ikon Tyres speed days on the ice of Baikal”. Accordingly, all road-participating cars were shod in the studded Ikon Autograph Ice 9. And why, say, not in a rally battle spike? Because the winter rally and speed records on ice have very little in common. The experience of many years has shown: high -quality road tires with a factory error for high -speed disciplines are much better.

Tire pressure for each test attempt is determined by the pilot itself. The choice depends on which record you need to set. For starting from the course, high pressure is often used (for example, 2.7 atmospheres), and for the start from the place it was reduced to 1.7 bar.

Ikon Autoograph Ice 9 is an analogue of Hakkapapeliitta 9 from Nokian Tyres, which has left the Russian market. The models that are produced within the country had to be permanently. At the same time, of course, they developed a new sidewall design.

Alexei Pavlin on the Audi RS6 improved his achievement when starting 1 km and repeated his achievement last year. The average speed at a distance of 500 meters per course was more than 289 km/h. The average speed at a distance of 1 km from a place was about 120 km/h. And this despite the fact that due to the crack in the ice, the exposure line became 2.5 kilometers shorter!

Sergei Demin at the F-Motorsport all-wheel drive buggy, which was built according to the requirements of the Championships of the International Rally-Raids Federation, improved the medium speed at a distance of 500 meters per move, which amounted to more than 207 km/h.

The festival lasted four days. And the most successful of them was the last. In the other three, Baikal showed the most diverse (but not too favorable) weather. This is the fluid wind that carried away large tents and the most interfered with the races, and the complete calm, and the bright sun, flooding the ice, and severe frost, which directly influenced the tenacious of the highway. This year, due to weather conditions, for the first time “torn” the track, which took almost 2.5 km of distance. 9.6 kilometers remained, and over their length, the formed thoroughs were cut manually.

All sensors and wires that are connected to this timing system are frozen into ice.

Sarma-Evolute Mk III is the third link in the evolution of machines, which were created specifically for speed records (nothing of the kind in our country has been built since 1984). The prototype is collected by domestic designers from Russian components in Volgograd by the Karkas34 team. The main designer of the car was the famous Irkutsk coach and racer Stanislav Lyzhin.

By the way, Sarma is the name of the river flowing into Baikal, and a strong wind blowing over the Strait of the Small Sea

Exlantix ES is a large electric sedan already certified in Russia and even adapted for our conditions. The all-wheel drive model is equipped with two 480 horsepower electric motors, a 82 kilowatt-hour battery with a capacity of 82 kilowat-hours and a pneumatic suspension.

It was originally planned that the Exlantix brand will become independent in the Russian market. But now everything goes to the fact that it will be the EXEED brand, as in her homeland, in China. We talked more about Exlantix cars in reports from the headquarters of the Chery group [в 2024-м](https://motor.ru/reports/2024-exed-chighlights.htm) and [в 2023-м](https://motor.ru/reports/chery-tech-day-2023.htm) year.

Perhaps the most interesting result of the festival was brought by the hybrid crossover Exlantix et under the direction of Andrei Leontyev and Nina Abrose. It was a test for a stroke reserve with a completely charged battery and a full gas tank.

The arrival along the ring track on the ice lasted more than 13 hours, and at this time the temperature dropped below -20 degrees. The crossover passed more than 240 circles of the ring track with several turns. The average speed of distance exceeded 65 km/h.

Exlantix et is an all -wheel drive sequential hybrid with a turbo engine (1.5 l), a 43 kWh traction battery and two electric motors. The total peak power of the system is 469 hp, the maximum torque is 634 Nm.

However, in this model, not only the power unit, but also the chassis is interesting. Exlantix et stands on a premium (in the very engineering sense) E0x platform. His suspension is pneumatic with adaptive shock absorbers. In front of double transverse levers, behind – multi -link.

So, on the ice of Baikal, the crossover drove 822.8 km, after which he returned to the camp for charging and refueling.

The festival camp is located in a secluded place, it was given from ice crossings and settlements – this is necessary for safety purposes, because the speed on the ice has already been close to 300 km/h. Therefore, transport is needed special. Often these are ships on the air pillow, but this time we tried more exotic equipment. The Russian high -speed aeroloda North 750k Long is the flagship model of the Krasnoyarsk amphibian plant. A 12-seater aeroglisser develops a speed of up to 140 km/h on ice.

Andrei Leontyev, the organizer of the festival, a television journalist, a motor driver and multiple champion of Russia in motorsport: “Over the 13 years of our festival’s life, we managed to accumulate a lot of experience. By 2019, we have formed the general concept of the event and its infrastructure. The trend is interesting: now more than half of the participating cars are made up of electric cars and hybrids, which fit very well into the surroundings of Baikal. I really hope that 8 successful attempts that were made in our races will receive the status of new national records. We go in the right direction, we go to speeds for 300 km/h. We hope that in 2026, Baikal will take us easily without inspections for strength, which we have passed with dignity this year thanks to our partners and sports hardening ”

The 2025 festival became one of the most difficult and unpredictable in the history of the project. The long -standing readers of Motor know that every spring in the Strait of the Small Sea of Lake Baikal, participants in the “Days of speed” set the speed records, as well as the fact that this is not abstract entertainment, but official sports discipline. And also – that no festival is now complete without electrified machines … This time everything went not according to plan, but at least eight attempts claim the title of national record.
