3 and 4 stages RHHCC 2016. The magic of nature and white lines

Trails “ADM” and “Nizhny Novgorod ring” are places where leaving significantly improves lap times for the white lines. However, according to the rules of the competition ring for leaving white lines four wheels is prohibited. Therefore, the lap time, which tracks the boundaries have been violated, shall be canceled. Often pilots in the heat of combat do not even notice that made the violation, and learn about it only at the finish. And it becomes a complete surprise.

Such a situation occurred with the leader of the standings Super-race Michael Pavlenko (VAGrt Petronas – TopLevel). On both previous stages of the fight between him and Vladimir Gorlachev (Kramar Motorsport) was very dense, in the course of the day the one, the other pulls ahead. And a decisive attempt to stage 3 Pavlenko fastest time. However, the judge fixed the violation of the borders of the track, the lap time was canceled, and Vladimir was declared the winner. Fighting continued wheel to wheel in the “Nizhny Novgorod ring”, where Michael has no mistakes and was able to win with a new record RHHCC 1.39: 773, up from Vladimir by only 0.246 seconds.

Well, and the third place was won by the leader of the standings Marina Kareeva (VW Scirocco, Apex Motorsport).

In the classroom Hot-race continues to not take an experienced Dmitry Militsynu of Apex Motorsport team. At ADM, he showed the best time, but was disqualified due to the underweight in the 17 kg. He’ll pick up the scoring on the scales and trying to determine the exact weight of the Scirocco her, he would be the winner, but just disappointing 5th place. A victory for the first time in RHHCC celebrated Sergey Gorbatenko (SEAT Leon Cupra, WhyNot Motorsport). The second was Stanislav Varlamov (Renautl Megane RS, XXX Team). On the third line situated class leader Alexei Krasnoglazov (Honda Civic, Redliners). Nizhny Novgorod step is not greatly changed the balance on the podium. Krasnoglazov climbed on the first step, and Gorbatenko and Varlamov 2 and 3, respectively. Apparently, among the three pilots will unfold the fight for the title.

The Hot-street class, the confrontation Subaru BRZ and the Renault Megane RS.

In the back they breathe representative TRTeam Geogy Romanov (Toyota Corolla). At both stages, he was the third. Rather it is between these three drivers will unfold the fight for the final victory in the class. While they are all very close.

No less tight battle for the top spot of the final protocol is in the class City-light. Podium varies from stage to stage. At ADM won up Ivan Chebotarev (Lada 2108, TRTeam), second place went to Sergey Batyaev (Ford Fiesta ST, XXX Team). Anton Arkhipov closed three leaders (Toyota Corolla Levin, TRTeam). On the “Nizhny Novgorod ring” Anton already celebrating victory. Chebotarev second and third Batyaev.

Most are small, but the most expensive class Supercars continues to evolve. If, at the sole member of ADM and the winner was the representative Redliners Mikhail Ilyin (Porsche 911 Turbo), the second phase has already collected two volunteers to measure the power of supercars. The fight wheel to wheel held between representatives of XXX Team Andrei Nikiforov (Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG) and Alexander Kireev (BMW M4). At the end of the day rivals shared with only 0,015. The winner is Andrew.
And finally a few words about the team competition. New points system works wonders. And if the leader is more or less clear (VAGrt Petronas – TopLevel) somewhat away from the opponent, then for the remaining steps of the podium is a tight battle at once among several clubs: Mazda High-Power, Apex Motorsport, WhyNot Motorsport, TRTeam, XXX Team – all they may be successful scenario even qualify for the final victory. And on the “ring of Nizhny Novgorod» TRTeam could circumvent the favorites and win the stage!
