According to a socialbites.ca reporter, Russian Drift Series (RDS) General Manager Dmitry Dobrovolsky condemned the idea of creating special sites for street racers. With such an attempt before spoke After a fatal accident on the Minsk highway, autoblogger Eric Davidich said that this will reduce the concentration of criminals on public roads. The blogger believes that with the existence of such a platform, the regulation of reckless drivers racing on the streets will become obsolete.
RDS head Dobrovolsky negatively evaluated such an offer, recalling that there are at least four points in Moscow and the Moscow region where street racers can legally test their cars and skills.
“There is a protest here, there is a marginal component. The message is: we will act quickly and dangerously to kill everyone, including ourselves. Unfortunately, such people want criminal reputation more than learning to drive. Each circuit has track days. Most of the competing and fighting machines [в городе]It cost a lot of 100 thousand dollars. You can fly into the fence at full speed on the racetrack and still survive, ”said Dobrovolsky.
In contrast, Russian racing driver Roman Rusinov stated that paying a fine for traffic violations would be more expensive than paying for a racing session at a private track.
“Another problem is that the drivers who organize races in the city unfortunately do not know how to drive. If they reach the racetrack, they will be last and will not be able to prove themselves. There are sites, they are accessible and safe. Why racing in the city is completely incomprehensible, ”Rusinov summed up.
