The big step up for Karginov
Andrey Karghinov was born in the family of one of the founders and promoters of buggy races in Naberezhnye Chelny. At the age of 9 he started carting, becoming several times champion of Tatarstan. Andrey had a practical training in the KAMAZ research and development centre. So when there was the opportunity to join the team in 2005, it was taken with sincere enthusiasm by Karginov. In 2006 the young athlete took part as a mechanic to the different stages of the Russian Championship in the same crew as team veterans such as Vladimir Chagin, Semen Yakubov, Aydar Belyaev, Ilgizar Mardeev. In 2007 he took over in the driving seat. He competed in his first Dakar in 2010 as the mechanic of Ilgizar Mardeev. This new edition will be a first for him as the official driver of a Kamaz on the Dakar. At his side will be navigator, Andrey Mokeev and mechanic Igor Devyatkin.
