To catch up and overtake. Around twenty of Kharkovians set out to Dnyipropetrovsk to participate in international rally tournament. But this championship is just a warm-up before the main event. In 2008 Kharkovians are going to conquer the most famous rally-competition Paris-Dakar.
Powerful cars, foreign models and home sport-utility vehicles suit both, and a special uniform – helmets, gloves, costumes and footwear. Kharkovians had prepared to the tournament in Dnyipropetrovsk on the special routes near Chuhuyev. They will not scorch
on the road – taking care of the vehicles.
Oleg Kolesnikov, a participant, “No. We need to get to Dnyepr as early as possible and to put up. We preserve cars before and after the rally. But at the rally itself one can’t do that.”
Svetlana Litvinova is a pilot. She has been driving a huge UAZ for 2 years. She says it is much easier to drive a motor-car. It was most difficult for a fay girl to get used to external dimensions. And she doesn’t acknowledge the phrase ‘A woman and a driver are inconsistent notions’.
Svetlana Litvinova, a participant, “There are also so-so drivers among men, well, it depends.”
The dreamboat of all Kharkovian participants – Paris-Dakar rally. They say that Ukrainian competition is only a preparation to the French race.
