April 22 and 23 Sochi Autodrom will host a series of dynamic races and entertainment for the whole family< br/>
In the year of its tenth year, the Russian circuit racing series united two tournaments. The season opened on April 1 with a 3-hour SMP RSKG Endurance endurance race, and in two weeks the pilots will start in the classic G-Drive circuit races of the SMP RSKG Touring.
April 22 and 23 at track in the Sochi Olympic Park, the stars of Russian motorsport will perform on cars of 5 classes.
The most spectacular — supercar classification SMP GT4 Russia. Athletes on powerful Mercedes-AMG, Toyota Supra, Porsche Cayman and BMW M4 will go to the start three times over the weekend — and the sound of their 6 and 8-cylinder engines will not leave anyone indifferent. Among the participants are winners of international competitions Rinat Salikhov, Andrey Solukovtsev and multiple winner of Russian tournaments in circuit and marathon races Denis Remenyako.
Another international class SMP TCR Russia (also known as Touring)will traditionally bring together the most famous and professional pilots. Among them are multiple Russian champions and European Cup winners Kirill Ladygin and Dmitry Bragin. And after a two-year break, the legendary Alexei Dudukalo, the only Russian pilot to climb the podium of the WTCC World Championship race, will join the fight for the title! Moreover, he will pilot the latest Hyundai Elantra sedan, which will compete with the 350-horsepower LADA Vesta NG, Audi RS3 and Hyundai i30.
The pilots of the SMP TCR Russia standings will have two races. And together with him, the participants of the Super-production class will go to the start, which have slightly less powerful versions of the LADA Vesta, Subaru BRZ, Honda Civic and Volkswagen Scirocco models.
In class Touring LightThe generation of racing technology is actively changing. If last season only three pilots chose Volkswagen Polo liftbacks with 1.4-liter turbo engines, now similar Audi A1 and Skoda Fabia will be added to them. But competitors on Kia Rio X, Hyundai Solaris and Peugeot 208 with naturally aspirated 1.6-liter engines are not going to give up at all.
The athletes of the S1600 classification will join them on hatchbacks of Korean brands — and racing in these classes will present a beautiful fight performed by a quarter of a hundred pilots.
Despite participation in different classifications, all race cars will be filled with high-tech G-Drive fuel from the Gazpromneft filling station network, which is used not only by ordinary motorists, but also by professional pilots. In order for gasoline to help racers improve performance, it is regularly tested under extreme conditions. G-Drive has already been tested by the Russian circuit racing series, the Silk Way rally-raid, drifting and endurance racing.
Throughout the season, the fuel quality of the cars of the participants will be monitored by a mobile laboratory that conducts regular checks at Gazprom Neft gas stations. With the help of such a mobile van with modern equipment inside, you can analyze about 10 basic parameters of gasoline and diesel in less than half an hour, which allows you to quickly monitor its quality.
