Two more stages of the Silk Road Rally have passed since my previous publication.

And the MAZ, run by Sergey Vyazovich, showed itself again perfectly.

At the fifth stage, Vyazovich became the third. Two classic MAZs after the pedestal at the fourth stage slightly slowed down and at the fifth showed the seventh and eighth time of the day.

Well, at today's, the sixth, stage, again, there was no equal to Belarusian Sergei Vyazovich. Results:

1. Vyazovich (MAZ)

2. Shibalov (KAMAZ) +0: 27

3. Mardeev (KAMAZ) +0: 28

4. Van den Brink (Renault) +4: 52

Another MAZ (run by Alexei Vishnevsky) finished sixth with a time of 4 hours and 31 minutes.

But Alexander Vasilevsky (also at MAZ), who walked at the pace of the leaders, had difficulties in the fourth segment, which led to a loss of crediting time.

Other participants in the rally also had difficulties today. Andrey Karginov damaged a wheel at KAMAZ:

and lost time replacing it.

Kupriyanov on KAMAZ tows Krotov on a "car" MINI to the finish:

See how the Russian ATV Alexander Maximov finished with a torn-off left footboard:

The crew of the leader of the general classification of Vyazovych had a problem not with the car, but with the instruments of the organizers: they mistakenly record speeding, for which penalty time can be assigned.

“Yesterday they insisted that the devices be replaced. After that, one of the devices did not work immediately at the start. Even the starting point could not be noted. Then it is even more interesting: one showed up to 139 km / h, the other five times recorded the excess - 141 km / h. We can’t prove that we didn’t exceed it; the organizers' devices behave incorrectly, ”explains the pilot of MAZ.

But in any case, the race continues. Today, athletes are resting, so that tomorrow during the seventh stage to cross the border of Mongolia and China.
