Until recently, ring racing in Russia can be performed only on the road in the suburban Mackova far from the international level. Now the situation with race tracks in our country began to change for the better.
Nizhny Novgorod (ringwww.nring. ru): Length: 3362 m; width: 12-15 m; left-leg/right turns: 8/5; length of direct "start-finish": 485 m. The number of presentations of the various tracks ". Formula One and subsequent press releases have long overtaken the same amount when you stop paying attention to these kinds of ads. It would be more surprising that last year, without too much fuss, finally, Russian racecar raceces began to be put into operation-and not as if they were in accordance with the world standards. The first such route was the "Nizhny Novgorod ring", which was opened in July last year. Since then, more than two dozen automobile competitions have been held near Nizhny Novgorod, but the original track of the FRC board has been found to be unsafe. The owners of the highway did not argue and promised to take into account all the wishes that the stages of the Russian Championship in Russia could take place this yearIf they pass or not, it is not clear yet, but in the Russian championship it is stated twice. By mid-2011, the Nizhny Novgorod ring should be equipped with boxes, a new car park, an access track for the evacuation of sports equipment, equipped marshals and fences. In addition, on the ground surfaces, they promise to sow the grass so that the dirt on the road is no longer carried. A further extension of the route to 4,877 metres is planned for 2012, for which additional land has already been acquired. And after the second stage of construction is completed, NRising will be ready to accept international competitions-the track should be guaranteed to category B-category FIM, which will allow to invite any motor-cars except MotoGP. According to the director general of the Nizhny Novgorod ring Vadim Bahanova, with favorable conditions, the racecar will be able to accept even the Formula One stage.In the summer of last year, the Smolensk Ring located near the town of Smolensk was opened. There are boxing and all the necessary infrastructure not only for domestic, but also international competitions. Alas, the track is not adapted for the motorbike: in some places, concrete outlaws are placed in dangerously close proximity to the canvas. And, unlike the NRing, the "Smolensk ring" is extremely difficult to modernize: the track is in the lowlife, and the space for the expansion of the canvas and the transfer of the salmon fence at the end of the start-finish line is simply not. Despite this, the track is also included in the provisional calendar of the 2011 Russian championshipLike the "St. Petersburg" car at Shushary (Leningrad region) ...The "ring" of its creators (in the project work was the Moscow project group "Trusses for car" Mikhail Gorbachev and Andrei Kitov, which has "Meichovo" and "Nizhniy Novgorod Ring") has already presented as much as "the fastest race track in Russia", but as of today, only the first base layer of asphalt covering is in the asset. It is only this year before the clean-up, so there are no pits, no ribs, no hard shoulders, no security zones ... But the owners of the "ring" are already declaring their readiness to the track-days and luring fans of speed with the purchased chrometroomal equipment Tag Heuer. The third stalls are in Moscow, Smolensk and Saint Petersburg.In 2011, it is expected to put into operation two other international racecdoers at the international level: Canyon in Kazan and Moscow Raceway in the Volokolamsk district of the Moscow region. The Kazan ring is "trapped" exactly under the motorcycle. The "royal class", of course, is not a matter of course, but let' s say "Canyon" can theoretically be accepted. The total length will be about three and a half kilometers, the width of the canon in the area is 9-12 meters, and the height-28 meters in height. According to its configuration, the track in Kazan is similar to classic British tracks such as Brands Hatch and Thruxton. The ring really has to be interesting!Moscow Raceway will be the largest racing object and should be given a category A by FIM classification. The symbolic first stone of the Moscow Raceway, David Koulhard, German Tylke and Hans Gaystom took place in the fall of 2008. But due to the problems with the general contractor, the company Strabag (the "Core Element" group), the active phase of construction financed by the bank "Artit-Capital" started only last summer. However, there is now a well-founded hope that the Moscow highway near the villages of Shelookovo and Fedyukov will be able to host the first competition in the autumn. "According to the chief engineer, the total volume of completed tasks is 40 percent, while the infrastructure elements have been commissioned by about 20 percent," said Ekaterina Beltsevich, head of the project. " And much of what has been done is simply hidden from the eye. There are very specific soils on the site of the future bumper, which made us use the foundation of the building. Given that the work started in May and June of last year, the indicators can be considered good. " The new general contractor-"Russo-German Joint Ventral Company"-is directly responsible for the construction of the racing ring. The construction of the infrastructure is carried out by the firm Strytech, which previously set up the FSO polygon in the Kupunh. The common control is left to German Tylke representatives who are permanently present at the site. The total investment amount of the company is about 4.5 billion rubles. "It includes not only the costs of the services of two contractors and the payment of technical supervision, but also the supply of special electronics," Beltsevich said. In addition, the subsequent installation of the purchased equipment will require the involvement of a specialized company in the spring-summer of 2011. And this is all without taking into account the cost of the land. We believe that in our conditions this is the optimal price for the high quality of performance that we must achieve. " All work is expected to be completed by September. In the spring of 2012, the racecar must undergo international training, after which it will have the right to invite international racing series. It is well known that the holding of races is very expensive. Do we expect Moscow Raceway to take the target for payback? "We view everything comprehensively," she said. " In total, we own a land plot of the size of 264 hectares, of which 80 are reserved for the highway. On the remaining territory we plan to develop related infrastructure: hotels, cottage settlements, shopping malls, entertainment facilities, parks. This should increase the capitalization of the surrounding land. In Europe, almost all the roads are owned by the municipalities, or at least built on their money, because the main task is to achieve the payback in the operating sense-that is, to cover the expenses of the maintenance of the bumper. We are going to compete on the quality of the services provided with the leading European tracks-but it is a great pleasure. Our aim is also to pay for the maintenance costs of such a high level. We are confident that investments that are invested in the construction of the road will definitely be taken away-just, say, not in direct ways. We have no doubt that the Moscow Raceway project will have an economic meaning, although we do not expect direct reimbursement of all costs in the short term. " The laying of the first layer of asphalt is scheduled for June, and the third, final layer, which is kept secret, should be completed by the end of August. We hope that nothing will interfere with this plan, and in the Moscow region there will finally be a first-class race track, which will be able to see both national competitions and stages of the world famous series, including the long-desired Grand Prix of Russia in the framework of the MotoGP championship. However, it would be wrong to let out some of the tracks that are not present in the "ring" of the IMF's calendar, even in the near term. For example, almost forgotten by all the three-kilometer race track "Avtodrom Domodedovo". On a loud presentation in 2008, it was announced that the ring would be hosting the FIA GT Championship stage. But with the crisis, the river of finance overcame and everything stalled in the middle of last year at the stage of land administration. However, the project-manager of Pavel Volkov is optimistic: " We only have to find the missing 20-25 million. The rouble that should be enough to move to the next stage. " But in the other region we have both the means and the technique. In Novosibirsk, a group of companies "MetInstrument" company, which has been working on housing and industrial construction, has made a general contractor to create the "Siberian Ring". The future 4274 m track was placed in close proximity to the local TES-5. It is not ruled out that such an unusual neighborhood will add a racecar track record to the surface of the condensate track. The engineering bureau of Tilke GmbH has been assigned to all design work in the spirit of the latest developments. So far, the ground is being prepared and the first tier of asphalt will not be seen before September. The same summer, the name of Hermann Tilke came back to the Pacific coast. The investors from the technoholding motors are now actively driving the "Primorsky Ring" motorsport complex. According to them, it should become the first such facility in the Far Eastern Federal District, as well as the logical development of other Russian ring projects. There will be nine different asphalt and dirt tracks on a land plot of 75 hectares. If everything goes on the right track, by September 2012 we will see an asphalt ring with a length of 3,613 meters and a width of 12 to 15 meters. And in a couple of years, it's going to be a full force. And what about the Red-Red Ro, which has been actively exploited in the last four years? Unfortunately, no. Looks like the bikes are going down there in the near future. And all because of last year's "reconstruction", when the surface was repaired by a bitumen-plated bitumen. I think it's perfect for the drift.But it is a tight-knit of traditional tracks that are being kept under the rules of international federations. It is an interesting fact that this is the reason why they consider them to be excessively blunty. Maybe the domestic Nurburgring will help them. No, this is not a joke-a few months ago, a group of enthusiasts headed by Vladimir Pavlov said about the appearance in August 2011 in the environs of Obninsk (Kaluga region). Kholma's new bumper car. The asphalt ring with a total length of 11,243 km will hit not only the length and the complexity of the turnings, which will get thirty-eight, but also the changes in height up to 42 m! A small ring length of 4446 m is provided for various competitions and will be certified under category B (FIM) or T1 (FIA). As a result, the working project is poured into thousands of dump trucks with soil, several mound hills with longitudinal and transversal slopes on the edge of the milk-navigation restrictions, tens of thousands of tyres, five different types of ridges, asphalt safety zones, which would have enough to roll up the "Meadow" in the new asphalt layer, and the galvanic instead of the rubble, which will have to be taken from the edges where it is. Vladimir Pavlov's choice explains the following: " A unique situation has been created in the Kaluga region-several of the foreign plants built here in recent years have pulled the construction industry well. The companies that are involved have gained experience with foreign customers, and the companies demanded time and quality on well-prescribed contracts with appropriate motivation. Communicating with local contractors is rejoicing-the others with whom they have to communicate are looking pale. Moscow Raceway, it should be noted, also attracts a number of works by Kaluga companies. The time frame we have set is called as far as possible, but technically possible. The project is prioritized for the region, so all paperwork is being handled as quickly as possible. How will it be with the construction period in the case when the equipment goes out to the platform-we will see. Maybe it'll be the usual. Then we'll get an object with the big undercovers in the fall. Like Smolensk in the fall of 2010. " Well. It seems that the situation with the ring tracks, which has long since been watching all athletes and track enthusiasts, is indeed changing.
