A.K.: “We are very happy that we could win the Silk Way Rally. I missed a year and was out of competitions. It was very hard to watch from the sidelines your friends, other teams and how they compete, I am a sportsman in my heart and wanted to get behind a wheel sooner. Our crew won the Dakar in 2014, the Africa Eco Race in 2017, but Silk Way Rally had always been “unconquerable” for us, now we managed it. We’re overwhelmed. The new truck performed very well, we are getting used to it, after all it is a new chassis, new engine. We have to get accustomed to the truck.” Vladimir Chagin, head of racing Kamaz: “You know how tough the rivalry is now in the truck category. The fight is decided in minutes, or seconds. The truck must be powerful, fast, lightweight and perfectly reliable. We have gone through a difficult process of developing, finding new solutions and preparing for the upcoming race and hope to show a result that will make our partners and fans happy. »
