    luv it
    I'm always a fan of the most inappropriate motorsport The idea of racing a truck on track was silly enough, but to go and do it on dirt !

    How long is the track ? How many corners ? How tight/open ?

    I'm trying to find the info about the track. But it may appear that there is nothing on it in the net and I couldn't walk through the whole track yesterday - I observed it just partly. I'll post what I'll sum up.

    The Buzharovo cross track have seen truck cross in 1998 for the first time. In 2001 it accepted a race within Russian Cup.

    And here is the info from the official sources.
    The track is a curvy oval. Surface - graded sand/clay, in winter - snow (actually, during a weekend the track has been dug up so much that instead of snow it consisted of snow mixed with sand - absolutely brown, with an ice under this mix). Direction - anti-clockwise. Maximum different of heights - 5 meters. Starting zone is taken out of the main course and adjoins from the outside.

    Though no info about length and curves number. But from what I've seen yesterday I've counted 9 curves now from my mind - they couldn't be seen all in one time - trees, hills and so on, you know...

    Видео "Гонки в Бужарово", автор: Vetal - LoadUp.Ru - here you can see a ZIL race in Buzharovo (gonna be 2007). This is not what we've done, that vid is not ready yet

    Picture from the Google Map. Of course, they couldn't make it all visible...

    EDIT: Pic from Yandex maps. Though a bit strange again - obviously not the configuration used yesterday.

    Here comes the vid.

    YouTube - Bronnitsy truck cross

    Please, note it's my first video ever, so obviously it's not perfect
    It shows not Buzharovo track, but the one in Bronnitsy a week after (February, 9) - the second ZIL race in Moscow province this year. And sorry for my hands moved sometimes - I could hardly feel them The footage was shot by me, my friend and my sis. BTW, the track 2200 meters long was completed in qualification in about 2:29.
    I know Matra will demand the track info again Well, tomorrow is another race in Bronnitsy (ZIL 130, UAZ 469, GAZ 51/52 and GAZ 53) and I'll try to take a shot of track layout.

    P.S. I intently posted it here, not in video thread, to hear your, guys, comments
