The new season of Russian racing began with the success of Lada

This weekend, the new season of the Russian series of ring racing starts, and in the top class of competitions an exciting struggle between riders on Lada and pilots of foreign cars is again expected. The first race of the season will begin the pilot on domestic technology from the first position.

On the Moscow Raceway highway in the Moscow Region, the first stage of the G-Drive SMP RSKG, a series of seven stages, which will pass through five Russian regions and finishes in early October in Grozny, were held qualifications. Particular attention, as usual, was focused on the top class of SMP TCR Russia, where the most successful Russian teams and peloton are almost entirely (unlike other categories) consists of professional riders.

The best time is in qualification-with Ivan Chubarov, managing the 350-horsepower Lada Vesta Tcr. The success of the domestic machine is by no means a surprise: on the account of the factory team Lada Sport Rosneft several titles obtained in the fight against foreign cars. However, last season, Togliatti sedans did not perform very well: with three qualifications won on the collective pilots, there is only one podium. Whether the story will be repeated this time or Togliatti will be able to turn the situation-the main intrigue of the racing weekend.

By the way, in pursuit of Lada will participate in Motor. After all, the second result in the qualification was shown by Egor Sanin from Ulyanovsk, a racer of the Innostage Ag Team team, whose partner this season was the Motor.

However, he has good chances to compete for victory in the Friday race, as well as for a good result on Saturday – the stage for racers SMP TCR Russia consists of two races.
