RallyRUS 2008 Video&Slideshow Contest.

From the school age everyone knows that a human being has five senses for perception of outward things. Announcing our traditional annual photo contest we had a thought – why not to give spectators a chance to enjoy music along with viewing pleasure. More information we receive about outward things more colorful becomes the world!

Here we go. Alex Camel, the known musician, arranger and DJ from Saint-Petersburg, has specially created for this project a musical composition in break beat style. Andrey Yushin has found and presented us a fragment of on-board recording of his crew’s performance in Novorossiisk. The voice of Natalia Selivanova reading pace-notes in combat run has been recorded on sound track of a composition which served as a basis of slide-show made from contest photos. We liked the idea and decided to give an outlet not only to your talent of a photo artist but of a producer, script writer and sound technician.

20000 km around Russia. A little bit of lyrics.

20 000 km – that was the distance covered in the vast expanses of Russia by our Pine tree this year. It is 3 years old, grows little by little and is reading for future trips.

How the idea was born? Perhaps, it was a wish to have a company during long travels or probably it was a reminiscence of a revolutionary interior of Citroen prototype designed by Vladimir Pirozhkov - in brief, once upon a time I wanted to plant a tree right inside my van. Its space permitted that without affecting its passengers and photo equipment capacity.

Devoted to “Volga” car.

A legendary sport car. A chapter in the Russian racing history. Rallies, circle … Perhaps, somebody even remembers show performance of “Volga” cars and a SuperMAZ truck in the same lap in the Neva circle race …

The song is modern remake of well-known Soviet song by Ludmila Zykina "Volga river"

Devoted to GAZ rally trucks.

As long as we speak about history let us continue. One more living legend of rally tracks you can particularly meet in Estonia - “GAZ” trucks.

WRC. Russians are coming.

Seems we got it, at last. A Russian pilot starts in the WRC.

One of the fastest and the youngest Russian pilot Evgeny Novikov and his Australian co-driver Dale Moscatt will perform in the WRC in 2009 for the Citroen Junior Team.

Everything will be Super!

And now let’s deal with an ungrateful matter. Let’s look to the future At least let’s try.

To do it on the background of the global crisis is an ungrateful matter, even reckless. But the situation turns out to be very interesting.

WRC. Off they go.

O, those functionaries. O, that crisis. All of them as it is said landed badly. What will be a result? Let us see, touch, sniff, analyze.

Good luck to him :bounce:


When WRC09 starts my comparison will be between Novikov and Ogier on same car, two rising stars, will be interesting ;)

We'll see. He's fast, agressive, but what we have today? 2007 Estonian Rally Championship, leading up to final Saaremaa rally - and off, the 2nd place in series. 2007 Russian Rally Champ - the same story. Leading up to final Novorossijsk 07 rally - and OFF, and again 2nd place. 2008 Russian Rally Championship - leading, and again 2nd. Tendention?

To finish first you are first to finish, as is well known. We'll see.
