The original is taken by W. den_176. In the Maz-Sports team in Dakar 2014.
In today's our Roman wheat The review of the Rally Dakar-2014 freight competition participants is the most expected team among my readers, I have more asked about it in different Internet sites, this is the Belarusian Maz-Sports team. For the successes of the Belarusian brothers, we are very careful in Russia, and all because the MAZ has always been considered his own car, and therefore, when the Belarusian team started in Dakar 2012, the Belarusian team started, many of our Dakarovsy Fans began to hurt and for her.
Under the drive materials on the team, composition and technique.
The MAZ-Sporttto team is already rightfully considered a strong middling among cargo participants, and they only spent two Dakar, the start at the present for them will be only third. Not many participants of the cargo testing can boast of such a title in the debut, although some teams are chased in Dakar for more than a dozen years. But in my words, there is a share of the lucavia - we will not forget that the mas-sports team is factory, and this is a completely different level and resources, here many private owners plant are not competitors.
But not all the "young-green", you probably remember my photo from the summer Russian stage on ring races on trucks from the Smolensk Ring, this review, then this "Mazay" was put up as an exhibit, in memory of the brand performances in Stages of the European Ring Championship. And in the TRIAL TRAILA, all lovers of motor racing very well remember the team of Maz Yarovit, she also performed at all kinds of competitions, and in 2000 and 2001 he became European champion in Treala.
On the Rally "Silk Road-2010" MAZ under the control of Peter Orsika (European champion in the Treilet) took the 12th place in the overall standings, the task was put to reach the finish line, but some crews could get around.
The team "Silky Way-2011" the team has already exhibits two cars, it is from this year for some reason that the team's history is on the official website, however, he has not been updated since the summer of 2013 and judging by him, the team in the current Dakar participation is not Accept.
So, year 2011. For the Rally, the SPP was a general rehearsal before their debut in Dakar, at that time the crew of Alexander Vasilevsky finished the 18th, and the crew of Alexander Polisterchuk 22nd, though that year and participants in the testing was noticeably added compared to Previous.
Dakar-2012 became debut for the team of Maz-Sportatto, then the crew of Alexander Vasilevsky finished the 31st in the cargo standings, but the crew of Alexander Polishchuk turned over at one of the stages and descended from the distance.
The team "Silky Way-2012" team made up with the best result, the crew of Alexander Vasilevsky finishes the 11th, and Sergey Vyazovich crew, who made his debuting team, comes to the finish of the 18th.
In Dakar-2013, a race for the second crew of Sergei Vyazitovich team did not set the race, the serious breakdown has occurred at the second stage, the technique went to the car and the car repair took place all night. Subsequently, the crew received a fine in one hour, but continued the race. In the last stages, Mazovian crews kept either near the twenty, or even got into it. At the 13th stage, the crew of Alexander Vasilevsky finishes from the 13th time, this is still its best result in Dakar. According to the results of the entire race, the crew of Vasilevsky took the 21st place, and the crew of Vyazikovich 27th.
On the Rally "Silk Road-2013" team of Maz-Sportovatto spoke very adequate - the sixth place took the crew of Alexander Vasilevsky and the prize third took the crew of Sergei Vyazych.
What will Dakar-2014 be for the team? But this is the most interesting. This year, the team starts as part of three crews, using tactics of combat vehicles - combat technique. And this third technical task is a dark horse. The fact is that the MAZ for the same reasons that the KAMAZ should go to a new engine, their old engine is as well as our volume and smoke. According to the statements of the representatives of the team, it is on the third car a new engine will be installed, which is the brand, on the website of the plant modestly silent, but I found an interview with the commercial director of OJSC "MAZ" and the curator of the team of Dmitry Skorekiewicz, which he gave Natalia Public In it, he says that the WEICHAI Chinese Engine will be installed on the third car, its technical characteristics will see below.
So already on this Dakar team will go to the result, what we wish for good luck.
№521 Alexander Vasilevsky - Valery Kozlovsky - Anton Zapakoposkhenko
№529 Sergey Vyazovich - DmitriyVichrenko - AlexeiNeverovich
№561 AlexanderPolishchuk - PavelGaranin - AndrewZhigulin
In the review last year I have technical data For combat machines and technicians of the MAZ, the fastest goat does not give in the post of extra tables, so they will come here alone, on a new truck.

Dakar's rally-marathon is not only a serious test for high speeds in various types of roads and off-road, with a constantly changing climate and terrain, it is also a challenge to yourself. The head of the team "MAZ-SPORTAVTO" and AVTORMAN OF Crew No. 512 Valery Kozlovsky in an exclusive interview with Sputnik told about the conditions that the team was encountered, about decisions that are not always easy to accept, as well as the fact that Dakar became for the team Minsk Automobile Plant for five years speeches.
Behind a beautiful picture - Heavy work
"Dakar" is one of the most complex and prestigious planet marathons. This race collects the strongest crews from all over the world. Sports cars of the world's leading automakers, on which riders perform, are, as a rule, the riding perfection of the design and technical thought. The struggle here always goes to the limit of human capabilities and the preparedness of technology. The little things here does not happen. Any miscalculation, error, inattention can lead not only to the deterioration of the result, but also to human victims. Therefore, preparation for "Dakar" begins long before its start.
During the whole year, the teams planning to participate in this rally-marathon lead constant and intense work on the assembly of new sports cars, to improve and refine the design of already existing equipment. During the entire season, the teams work on raising the level of professional skill of pilots, navigations and mechanics. An important point is also the physical preparation of team members, and under certain conditions, as in particular before Dakar - 2016, additional training is also required to work in the conditions of high mountains. The volume of work is so large that it often has to work on weekends and overtime. Yes, shots of videos and photos with this famous race look beautiful and excitingly, but behind them is a big volume is really hard, but at the same time interesting work.
The Dakar route is traveled both by high-speed roads among steppes and on winding and dangerous mountain serpents, along the rivers of rivers, off-road, among dunes and vegans. We have to overcome sands, dirt, stony areas, ravines, wins, springboards, cool descents and lifts. The weather suggests the participants of the race with heavy rains, and the cold penetrating wind with the air temperature close to "0", then exhausting heat (up to 58 degrees in the shade), dust and omnipresent feshemem (viscous dusty sand - Sputnik). In such conditions, not all that started at the first stage come to the final of the latter - the fatigue of crews and racing techniques affects, and, oddly enough, the errors of the organizers in the preparation of Roudbukov.
When testing our new sports truck in a rally-marathon, individual shortcomings were identified, which were discussed and, already, the team designers are developing documentation for making changes to the following generation of combat truck. But, in general, the results of the tests of the new car and the engine installed on it we are satisfied.
Results and plans for the future
A high level of training and experience of our team members allowed us to dwell to the race leaders. However, problems with two engines were not allowed to achieve the crews of the planned results. It was very hurt to go away with two cars, but this is a sport, and here anything can happen. It is necessary to be able to take and defeat, while making reasonable conclusions from them to minimize such losses.
This season, with special attention to the issue of strict control over the work on the rebirth of the components and the aggregates of our cars in third-party organizations and to the timing of training sports trucks for competitions. We will work on increasing the responsibility of each team member for the work performed. In addition, we are planning to seriously increase the level of physical training of our athletes.
The nearest race in which the "Maz-Sportato" will take part - the 2nd stage of the Russian Gold Cagan Championship. It will take place in April and will be held through the territory of the Astrakhan region. The team then will spend the training collection on the modified Rally route, which is annually prepared by the Racing Organizers. This rally raid and training are valuable for us by the fact that the Astrakhan region in its natural conditions is very similar to the steppes of Argentina, with small dunes and sandy areas. Here, nature itself has created ideal conditions for full-fledged training for the preparation of team members to participate in the rally marathons of the highest international level.
In 2016, the Rally Marathon "Silk Road" renewed, which will be held in July. The race will be held in the territories of three countries: Russia, Kazakhstan and China. According to the organizers, it starts in Moscow, and finishes in Beijing. The race promises to be very interesting and attract the crews from around the world. According to the organizers of the "Silk Road", the complexity and length of this rally-marathon will surpass the level of Dakar. We were at the presentation of the race in Paris, where many famous athletes, such as Gerard de Roy, Hanstaisi, Ales Loprais and many others expressed the desire to take part in it. For our team, participation in this rally-marathon is one of the main goals in the season of this year. This year, it is planned to participate in Maz-SportAtato at the Belarusian Rally Raidam Championships, but the question remains open, whether there will be a cargo offset there, as the training of the truck route requires significant resources as financial and human. In addition, we consider the options for our team's participation in the steps of the Russian Championship in the second half of the year, on the race in Morocco and organizing trainer crews in the UAE.
Work or lifestyle
For many, who came to "Maz-Sportato" - this is the fulfillment of the children's dream, which was probably from any boy who is fond of cars. This is a huge emotional ascent, the opportunity to express yourself as a crew member, as a designer, like mechanics, the opportunity to get invaluable experience and realize their most bold sports ambitions. Dear worth when your dreams are, your hobbies become work.

Team "Maz-Sportato" on Dakar 2016
Everyone who is assembled in the team is people who came here are no coincidence. These are mainly engineers - designers, test drivers and MSR mechanisaries that have previously worked in various divisions of MAZ-A. These people united the passion for motor racing, the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating sports trucks at our enterprise and participating on them in rally-raids. Of course, not only our factory workers became team members. It is clearly not superfluous for the team was the experience of participating in competitions in the classical rally of Sergey Vyazitovich and Konstantin Sinebok.
For example, Alexey Vishnevsky was invited to our team in the fall, today - the champion of Belarus on drifting, and in the past, a successful attack. While he works as a mechanic, but in the near future, after passing training in the pilot preparation program, we have high hopes on it, as on the pilot of a combat truck. In the present, we are planning to actively train young people, involve the team of promising guys, raise our skill of our skills specialists. This will allow our team to take a step forward and achieve higher and stable results.
On the rally-raid "Silk Road" two new sports cars. Spartansky trucks coped with the exhausting off-road, heights and cunning sands, and their crews took the sixth and ninth places of the marathon from Moscow to Beijing ..
The racing third-generation car developed about six months. Over the project worked constructors of the sports team - those that create cars only for racing. The name of the predecessors remains the name of the model (MAZ-5309RR), a recognizable "proscular" silhouette and many design solutions. However, as the developers assure, there are significant changes in new sports cars, which make them easier, more prompt and rushing.
The main difference between new cars - in the new engine Gyrtech G13, which gathered the Buggyra Czech team from Caterpillar aggregates. A 12.5 liter motor produces 950 "horses" with a torque of 4300 N · m. Another advantage is an electronic control that allows you to quickly conduct computer diagnostics and customize the necessary parameters.
The engine turned out to be easier and more reliable than the overall analogues of the Yaroslavl and Tutaev motor plants. It is because of them on the last "Dakar", two maskedal crews were forced. But there is another reason why abandoned outdated aggregates: the "Dakar" organizers will no longer let the trucks with 16.5 liter engines.
Sports trucks created for racing, so they have components are similar to the fact that the teams are used - the winners of Dakar. At the same time, much in the new sports car produced on the masse. So, at the plant made a cabin, frame and superstructure of the body, including the frame and the panel. Belarus also collected all brackets, the engine cooling system and supervalted air, as well as many other parts of the truck.
However, some of the components were purchased from foreign manufacturers who were supporting in the production of components for sports cars. Actually, there is nothing gallopped in this - all the teams are received, including KAMAZ-Master, the multiple champion of international rally raids. In addition, some imported components and so apply on serial trucks under the MAZ brand.
Sports Maza equipped with original pendant parts, which are designed specifically for sports cars. The shock absorbers created the Dutch from Reiger Racing, and the springs are Belgian Weweler. The gearbox on the German truck is ZF. Kardatan shafts arrived from Turkey (from Tirsan Kardan), and leading bridges took from the famous Finnish manufacturer of Sisu, which himself in the Rally raids do not participate. The truck is also equipped with LED optics from German Hella and "vow" in Mishlen tires.
They took care of the crew: in the cabin, finally, the air conditioner appeared, so when an abnormal heat (and it happens almost on any rally-raid) the riders do not have to take "bath procedures". In the trucks also appeared cruise control, with which it is possible to hold high-speed limits with high accuracy (for example, on Dakar, they constitute 140 km / h). Previously, when there were no such systems on Mazakh, the riders had to "eye" to slow down, so as not to receive the penalty minutes from the organizers.
The "Maz-Sportato" team does not voicate the cost of the truck. But if there is a serious customer, sports car is ready to collect "from scratch" for 350 thousand euros. The exact cost depends on the configuration and in this kind of cases are negotiated with the buyer individually.
However, Mazovian sports cars may not be sold, but renting. There are many people who want to perform several famous riders on the rally raids on Belarusian trucks. Their interest is clear: along with martial cars, they also receive professional technical support in the form of Mazova mechanics, which have already become regulars of international auto machines.
"During the passage of the third stage in the race, there was an intervention of the organizers, who made adjustments to the course of the stage, which provided the unreasonable advantage to individual participants of the race, and for the crew of 302 sports teams" MAZ-SportAtto "additional time loss," the press service says Teams.
"This situation has influenced the results of the third stage and the position of the crews in the general classification. In our opinion, such behavior by the organizers is a violation of the principles of fair struggle. In this regard, the sports team "MAZ-SportAto" decided not to continue participation in the 2018 Silk Road International Ralia-Raida, it is reported.
On the third specialist, which was stopped due to heavy rains, the leader of the race Vladimir Chagin called the crews of the KAMAZ Master team not to stop in order to pull the rivals stuck cars from the dirt. It happened at the time when Sergei Kupriyanov crew stopped to help the MAZ pilot. Such a step by the leadership of the Rally Marathon "Silk Road" caused fair dissatisfaction with the Belarusian team, which decided to respond from the race. The organizers decided to count the time of the finish time at the first checkpoint. This affected the results of the stage and the position of the teams in the general standings.
The situation commented on the head of the international project "Silk Road" Vladimir Chagin: "Sergey Vyazovich is a talented racer, but, apparently, the difficulties of the third stage, with whom his crew and the whole team of" MAZ-Sportato "faced, prevented to remain objective in their statements.
I want to emphasize that the Rally Reid "Silk Road" is an international project and always consisted of FIA standards, and respects the rules of fair ethics, for which international sports commissars and the leadership of the rally are strictly followed.
At the beginning of the third stage, weather conditions began to change dramatically, strong shower changed the track to an impassable state. The pilots needed to quickly adapt to weather conditions, and the organizers - to ensure security and do not threaten the continuation of the race in the following days. Therefore, the sports commissars decided to stop the race at the 140th kilometer.
I want to thank all the crews who assist each other in the current situation, including the pilots of the GAZ Raid Sport team, Bolevlav Levitsky and Mikhail Shklyaeva, the KAMAZ-Master crew Anton Shibalov - who twice pulled the car Sergei Vyazovich on this day. In general, this year it is especially nice to observe the mutual execution between the crews. In the rally-raids, it is impossible to get to the finish line without this and it is impossible to win.
I, as the project manager, and on behalf of the entire Directorate of the Rally "Silk Road" sorry about the emotional decision of Sergey Vyazovich, to leave the race, which deprives the rest of the crews of the opportunity to continue participation in the competition this year, and I hope that the tracks "Silk Road" The arena will always be a honest and uncompromising struggle of the strongest riders of the world, to whom I will definitely relate to the team "Maz-Sportato".
Although only three stages are passed, the pace taken by Vishnevsky and Vyazovich is impressive: both crews of the factory team of Maz-SportsTo in the fourth of the strongest - on 3-4 positions.
Motogonki.ru, January 9, 2018 - after the Russian KAMAZ master, Maz-Sportatto had to experience team relations on strength in Zybuchi Dune Ike.
Sergey Vyazovich (No. 518) failed from the first attempt to climb on one of the small dunes before the very finish of Su3. At the same time, I was attacked on the eve of Irat Mareev, Vyazovich dropped his truck on the side - on the uneven and very raw rise, the Earth literally left the wheels from under the wheels! This "trick" was done on Sunday many. But few managed to quickly correct the situation.
Alexey Vishnevsky was near at that moment, and he immediately came to the revenue by a hollow: on the return of MAZ back to 4 wheels spent a record little time. As a result, both factory trucks easily reached the finish and after summing up all the results Vishnevsky took the 3rd position in the Dakar Rally-Marathon, Vyazovich took the 4th. Both loses the leader of the Trucks class Eduard Nikolaev (KAMAZ-Master) 52 and 53 minutes.
Position in trucks after SU3:
1. E. Nikolaev (Kamaz) - 07:47:19
2. F. Villagra (Iveco) +0: 08: 58
3. A. Vishneuski (MAZ) +0: 52: 34
4. S. Viazovich (MAZ) +0: 53: 32
5. M. Macik (Liaz) +1: 01: 24
The new route Rally "Dakar" has already entered the story as the most unpredictable, and the number of accidents and unexpected gatherings for the first 3-4 days of the race are beaten records.
Just 1 kilometer to the finish of SU3 dropped out of the struggle Honored Spanish Rutter Nani Roma: his mini "made a roof", and Roma himself was injured by the neck and head as a result of the incident and stayed in a mobile hospital on Bivouak in San Juan the next morning. Today broke the rear wheel of his prototype Peugeot Multiple Champion Dakar in the class Moto Cyril Dere. The Frenchman still stands in the dunes and awaits the arrival of technical equipment.
It was SU3 who was rich for gathering: in the class AUTO (Jeeps and Buggy), in addition to Nani Roma, no more than 10 cars were not able to continue the race, officially dropped out of the race of the truck crew, including the Japanese from the factory Hino.
In total, after three days, the rally left: 34 jeep, 16 motorcyclists, 4 quad bikes and 9 carriages of trucks.
