Less than a month remains before the start of the eleventh edition of the Silk Road International Rally. The race starts on July 1 from Omsk and will include ten diverse and technical stages. Crossing Siberia, the rally route will take the caravan to Mongolia through the famous Gobi Desert to the capital of the Blue Sky Country, Ulaanbaatar. It is there that the grand finish of the rally will take place on July 11.
The total length of the race is 5,250 kilometers, of which 2,850 kilometers are on special stages, which are a perfect combination of technically challenging and diverse trails with magnificent landscapes. From the forests of Siberia and the Altai Mountains to the capital of Mongolia through the Gobi Desert and the endless Mongolian steppes, the 2021 Silk Road International Rally will be absolutely unique.
Recall that two years ago, Nasser Al-Attiyah (Toyota, SUV category), Anton Shibalov (KAMAZ, Trucks category) and Sam Sunderland (KTM, Moto category) won.
Ninety crews in all categories will take off on July 1 from Omsk. Along with the famous favorites, a large number of fans who decided to test themselves will take part in the eleventh edition of the Silk Road International Rally. Their only goal will be to reach the finish line of this unique adventure in Ulaanbaatar ten days after the start.
It should be noted that the regional Congress Hall and the square in front of it will become the location of the Rally's operations center, a platform for administrative and technical inspections for participants, as well as a service park.
