WELCOME NOTE FROM THE
MINISTER OF SPORTS,
TOURISM AND YOUTH POLICY
OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
In a rather short period of time the Silk Way Rally has become one of the major events in
international motorsports earning a great popularity among the world’s best racing drivers. The
structure and number of competitors is definitely evidence of the meaningfullness and the scale
of the event: the drivers from 28 countries had to make almost 4 000 kilometers in seven days
from Moscow to the capital city of the 2014 Olympic Games – Sochi.
I am sure that further editions of the Silk Way Rally, which has Dakar Series status, will significantly impact the development of motorsports in Russia and in the world, and will also expose
plenty of new talented drivers.

SILK WAY RALLY
IS HEADING FOR THE 2014
WINTER OLYMPICS
Sochi-2014 has a magical aura of expectation ahead of the magnificent sporting event
that Russia is arranging for the world, it overwhelms all of us. The rally route, starting in
Moscow, the hostess of the 1980 Olympic
Games, and rushing to Sochi – the capital of the
2014 Winter Olympics, has became a kind of a
relay between these two Russian Olympics. The
Olympics theme like a red line runs through all
Silk Way events. The Headquarters were located
at the famous Luzhniki Stadium. The ceremonial start was held in Red Square and the rally
finish took place in Krasnaya Polyana.
We all have witnessed the spectacular event,
the triumph of the sports spirit, enjoyed the
unique moments and the joy of wins during
Silk Way Rally!
Everyone have already got used to the fact
that the Silk Way Rally is full of surprises. In
2009 and 2010 both competitors and spectators opened up new horizons and got a lot of
new and positive emotions. The third edition
of Silk Way Rally Dakar Series has traditionally
sparked the interest for new challenges and
adventures. After a careful calendar review the
organizers have decided to change the date of
the competition in order to give it a status of a
key mid-season rally. Placed between two Dakars, Silk Way is not only a good preparation,
but also the race of hard struggles and lastgasp victories.
The Silk Way Rally has become the most successful event in the history of the Dakar Series
as it combines essential factors that place the
event right at the top of the rally discipline. It
was a real challenge for the top-rated leaders
as well as for the amateurs whose main goal
was reaching the finish line.
All the attention and care given to the development of route guaranteed the sports interest
from the very beginning until the last day.

SILK WAY RALLY DAKAR SERIES
The countdown has begun!
«THE SILK WAY RALLY IS ALREADY A
LEGENDARY RACE, WITH IT’S OWN HISTORY
AND IS A DREAM FOR RACERS. IT’S NAME
SOUNDS INTRIGUING, AN ANTICIPATION OF AN
EXCITING ADVENTURE»
VITALIY MUTKO
The 3rd edition of the Silk Way Rally Dakar Series took place from the 9th to the 16th
of July 2011 from Moscow to Sochi. The race
started in Red Square. The route begun near
the Kremlin Fortress, right in the heart of Russia – which means that Silk Way Rally has a
very important meaning for the country! It is
not by chance that Sochi was chosen as the
final destination for the next 5 years. Silk way
Rally Dakar Series is a project destined to fulfill the objective of attracting the attention
of international and foreign Mass Media representatives to the Winter Olympic Games in
Sochi in 2014.
The first two editions of the Silk Way Rally
Dakar Series were a great success! The high
level of organization was seen by world famous athletes and attracted the attention of
the world press. Creating such a world class
8
event has built up a positive reputation for
Russia and confirms that the country has all
the resources necessary to organize global, international scale events and it creates a solid
base for the development international cooperation in many different spheres.
The route for 2011 was 3940 km and
crossed 3 climatic zones. The organizers found
new and interesting tracks on wide open terrains and have managed to unify difficult technical and sporting aspects in one event. Russia,
with its vast territories, has all the resources
needed for a race of the Dakar Series – off-road
mountain trails, fast WRC style roads and difficult sandy sections.
A professional team of sports managers with
Semen Yakubov at the head, and with the help
of the Russian Ministry of Sports and Tourism
have once again provided a unique organizational standards, making it an ideal preparation for Dakar.
The co-organizer of the event, as in the two
previous years, will be the French company
ASO – the founders of the world famous rallymarathon Dakar as well as the “Tour de France”
cycle race. The preparation and running level
of Silk Way Rally rises more and more each year
and consistently receives high evaluation both
at the state level and in international and Russian media. The result of the responsible and
serious approach to the event organization is
a growing number of competitors.
www.silkwayrally.com
The Silk Way Rally brought together an outstanding number of competitors this year. 130
crews enrolled the race (95 car crews and 35
truck crews), representing almost thirty countries from all over the world. No other largescale races like the Silk Way have ever been
carried out on the territory of Russia. According
to the number of applications even the world
championships open for motorcycles were left
behind by the rally, and place the Russian race
Silk Way Rally to the second position within
the off-road discipline right after Dakar Rally.
All the leaders of the discipline and Dakar winner are among the competitors. Thus
X-RAID team (BMW) was represented by the
nine times Dakar winner Stéphane Peterhansel (France), 1997 European Rally Champion
and silver medalist of the 1995 European Rally
Championship, Polish driver Krzysztof Holowczyc and famous Russian racer Alexander Mironenko. A serious competition for these drivers was two-time winner of the FIA Baja Cup
Boris Gadasin, driving his self-made G-Force
Proto pick-up. However, all the crews have
demonstrated the persistence and sporting
temperament. For example, the buggy drivers
Matthias Kahle (Germany), Stéphane Henrard
(Belgium), Christian Lavielle, Ronan Chabot and
Thierry Magnaldi (France). Aleksandr Zheludov
and Vladimir Vasiljev (Russia) prevailed in the
car group and this was a great breakthrough!
An intense fight evolved in the truck group:
seven crews of the famous Kamaz Master Team
were challenged by the race crews – TATRA,
MAN, GINAF and DE ROOJ. Hans Stacey, the Dakar-2007 champion has returned to rally, and
this in itself was a mini-sensation. All these
factors guaranteed the highest level of competition and intrigue within all the competitiive
groups.
The Silk Way Rally project is a significant
stimulus for the development of Russian motorsport and favors the further growth of number of Russian drivers participating the international races.
Many viewers worldwide felt their involvement in this large-scale sporting event, and
especially the residents of the Russian regions
which were a part of the rally route. The foreign participants experienced in full measure
the hospitality that is so natural to the Russians.

SILK WAY RALLY
IN THE VIEW OF MASS MEDIA
THE 2010 RACE SPARKED UNPRECEDENTED INTEREST OF RUSSIAN AND
INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS. MASS MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES’ ATTENTION TO
THE RACE IS GROWING EVERY YEAR.
In 2011 there were 138 permanently accredited journalists who followed the race from
Moscow to Sochi. Among them were leading
Russian media companies representatives,
such as Interfax Group, Rossiyskaya Gazeta,
Russian TV-channels RUSSIAa-2, Russia Today,
Auto-Plus, TVC, Ukrainian TV-channels The 1st
Automotive and The New Channel, Avtoradio
and Voice of Russia radio-channel. Magazines
include Russian Reporter, Avtimobili, Autoning,
Polnij Privod 4x4. Websites – Championat.com,
Motor.ru, Bel.ru, Rally-Raids of Russia rusrr.ru
and others.
Representatives from the best specialized
publications from France, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, China and Japan, from 21 countries
in total, such as Economist Weekly, Nikkei Ducare, Elle, Paris Match, Top Office, Rallymaniacs, Nemzeti, Sport, L Equipe, GQ China, Auto
hebdo, Autonews.info, Cesky Rozhlas 1 radiozurnal RallyRaid.es, Solo Auto, Fuoristradaweb,
Groupe Cofina, DPPI, Offroad DRIVE, offRoadClub.ru, TV NET, Diena Maxphotobank, EMRS,
Travel + Leisure, Capital Monthly, CEO Monthly,
HK Economic Journal Monthly, Sapore I Piacere,

To transport journalists during the race the
organizers provided special flights. For the more
than 27 press cars following the race route access points to the most spectacular view points
were designated. Each vehicle at the disposal of
the photographers and reporters was equipped
with a safety cage and navigation equipment.
The mass media interest towards the race is
increasing every year. An international rally with
world famous drivers and a large number rally
guests is a real boon for the local Mass Media to
prepare excellent reports and a perfect way for
local authorities to publicize their local cultural,
historic and tourist attractions. Therefore the
attention of both national and local TV-radio
broadcasting companies as well as Internet
and printed magazines to the Silk Way Rally is
natural. The rally press-centre hosted 467 daily
accredited local journalists.

COVERAGE in
193 countries
SINCE 2009 THE SILK WAY RALLY HAS BEEN INCLUDED
IN THE PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL MOTORSPORT CALENDAR.
To organize the race at the highest level
the organizers have several tasks to complete.
The most important of which is to attract the
world’s best drivers and to provide the race
with top media coverage, while simultaneously keeping the world up to date with the
preparation of the Winter Olympic games in
Sochi 2014.
Creating such a world class event has created a positive reputation for Russia and confirms
that the country has all the needed resources
to organize global, international scale events
as well as a solid base for the development
of international cooperation in many different
spheres. The fact that the Silk Way Rally Dakar
Series has annual status proves that Russia has
а stable national sports policy. That is why top
quality media coverage remains the organizer’s
most important task.
Cross-country rally is a spectacular and dramatic sport. The French company ASO, which
has great working experience at the Dakar and
the Tour de France, prepared the Silk Way Rally
TV reports which were broadcast in 193 countries. TV crews in helicopters and cars were
shooting daily battles with backgrounds of
breathtaking natural sceneries. With the help
of in-car cameras, spectators were able to follow the race from a close-up driver’s perspec-
12
tive. Daily reports were transmitted via satellite to some of the world’s biggest TV-channels.
The TV broadcasting entitlement was given
to companies which broadcast in total of 193
countries. Among them are Eurosport, ZDF,
ARD, Super SPORT, Sky TV and many others.
According to the organizational partner of the
event, ASO, the total global coverage (not including Russia) is estimated to be 507,742,000
viewers. The total coverage time is estimated
at 3983 minutes (as of 24/07/2011). The RUSSIA-2 TV-channel was the official television
partner of the race. Russian television viewers
could see the hour-long live broadcast of the
race start from the Red Square and the daily
reports every day. In addition, all the Russian
federal TV-channels were obtaining a caption
card for their news releases from July 10th to
17th, such as Channel One Russia, RUSSIA,
RUSSIA-24, NTV, Zvezda, The Fifth Channel,

START
THE RALLY START IS THE OUTSTANDING
EVENT OF THIS SUMMER!
The Olympics theme has become the keynote of all the Silk Way Rally events. The
rally headquarters was located at the famous Luzhniki Stadium, the epicenter of 1980
Summer Olympics, the administrative checks and scrutineering were held at the same
place on July, 8 – 9th. The ceremonial start was held on the Red Square.
Some people possibly associate the «Olympiade-80» with the contest between two famous athletes: Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett
in the Men’s 800 m and 1500 m finals. Others
certainly remember the famous Soviet gymnast
Alexander Dityatin. At the Moscow Summer
Olympics he managed to win 3 gold, 4 silver
and 1 bronze medals, a result which placed
him in the Guinness Book of World Records.
And now, 31 years after those memorable
events the flags of different countries were
planted over the Luzhniki Stadium once again.
The most respected drivers from the rally-raid
world came together in order to start their way
across the wide expanses of Russia.
Muscovites, as well as visitors to the capital
didn’t miss the chance to see their heroes with
their own eyes on the evening of 9th July in the
Red Square at the ceremonial start of the Silk
Way Rally Dakar Series. The parade of rally cars
right outside the Kremlin with the majestic ar-
24
www.silkwayrally.com
chitectural monuments in the background did
not leave anyone bored!
The place chosen for the start ceremony was
gorgeous – it was an unforgettable moment
for all the competitors and spectators. The
atmosphere of the event and the welcome of
motorsport fans were just fantastic! The festive
program was a great addition to the ceremony.
There were a lot of entertainments prepared for
the spectators: several amusements, the spectacular free-style motocross organized by the
Red Bull beverage company and the concert
with Diana Arbenina, Gosha Kutsenko, Bolshoi
Theatre artists, Todes show ballet group, Turetsky Choir, the choreographic ensemble of the
Tatar Cultural Centre, HAMMERS drum show,
and Neposedi children’s musical group. The
very next day the competitors were flooded
with the Silk Way Rally’s furious tempo, but the
fondest memories will continue to bring their
minds back to the heart of Russia, to Moscow,
for a long time!

THE SILK WAY rally
RECONASSAINCE TEAM
FOUND ALL THE DAKAR SERIES
ATTRIBUTES IN RUSSIA.

The reconnaissance team worked hard to
prepare the route for the Silk Way Rally and
2011 will be long remembered by the competitors for the most unexpected scenes, discoveries of new regions and landscapes of different
geographical zones in the European part of
Russia. Drivers saw that no matter how weird
it may seem, there are deserts, vast sandy plateaus, enormous dunes, endless steppes which
demand the most complicated navigation and
switch-back mountain trails on the route.
The total route distance was decreased compared to 2010 by means of shortening the liaisons sections, and this allowed the organizers
to increase the special stages by more than
20% .
For drivers and navigators the real aspects
of this marathon race started on the stage of
Lipetsk – Volgograd where the route was set to
pass through a zone of sand where in the best
traditions of the “Dakar” crews passed through
the course checkpoints in the open ‘piste’. It
was a real challenge for all the teams! The Silk
Way Rally certainly justifies its involvement in
www.silkwayrally.com
the “Dakar” series. The circular special stage
Astrakhan – Astrakhan became the original
culmination of the magnificent performance
called Silk Way Rally. According to the feedback
from many longtime residents this stage was
quite similar to the early African Dakars. Comparisons with the famous African race arose in
Kalmykia, where the blinding white salt flats
across the steppe made the crews struggle to
find the right route to the finish. Each day the
new stage was awaiting for its competitors,
unlike the previous ones; new discoveries and
new challenges: a trophy section, a mountain
trial, a fast WRC-style road – the full assortment of terrains for a really demanding driver!

th
STAGE 1 WINNERS:
Car category: Aleksandre Zheludov
(Russia),
Truck category: Eduard Nikolaev (Russia).
Artur Ardavichus, № 312:
«It was a difficult day for us.
Finding the way was not
that difficult and we didn’t
make any navigational mistakes. But we had to change
the tire pressure constantly
due to the changing terrain:
it was slippery, and than too solid, and sometimes rocky. The car is sliding, going sideways.
Despite the special was 280 km only, we felt
like we’ve made 500 km. The steering job was
very serious. We’re trying to go on with our own
pace, no risks. We will increase the pace only
when we feel that we are “rolled-in” and the
car is 100% under our control. It’s difficult to
have the control over it in the weather conditions like that ».

trails… It was quite nasty,
«It was very difficult to find
frankly. Fortunately, our road
our way today, but I achieved
book is good and the waya good result thanks to my
points are located in open
highly experienced navigator Aydar Belyaev. We lost areas, so navigating is not too hard, but offvery little time looking for trail sections are nasty because you get shaken
waypoints or the roads we around a lot, you are afraid of breezing in a
had to follow. I tried to maintain a not-too-fast washaway… In short, it was not very nice, and
but steady pace, as Vladimir Chagin taught me. it was also long and physically demanding…
It goes without saying that I am very happy I I am not sure we have had 5h 56’ specials in

Stéphane Henrard, № 109:
«I love this race; it is really
an amazing discovery! I was
looking forward to racing
here for the country’s history
and greatness... I was really
impressed, not disappointed
at all! On the other hand, I
did not expect the race to be so selective and
hotly contested. There is a reason this race
is part of the Dakar Series! It is worthy of its
name! Although we had kind of a rough start,
things have only been getting better since,
and we are gradually clawing back some time.
I think 5th in the GC is our natural position...
But we came here to attack, so I am going to
do my best in the last two stages to try and
take the 4th place from Russian Mironenko!
It remains to be seen whether we can do that,
but we are sure going to try...»

th
Just before the finish in Sochi two Russian
drivers won the sixth stage, which consisted

Kabirov went to rescue a crew in trouble.

CEREMONIAL FINISH
ON JULY, 16th SOCHI HOSTED THE WINNERS
AND ALL the PATICIPANTS OF THE THIRD
EDITION OF THE SILK WAY RALLY DAKAR
SERIES, WHICH STARTED FROM
RED SQUARE IN MOSCOW.
For a week the competitors have overcome
4 000 kilometers, including 2 450 kilometers
of special stages from the capital of Russia
to the capital of the coming Winter Olympic
Games. The award ceremony was held in the
resort complex of the Polyana Grand Hotel
which will host the mountain Olympic Village
during 2014 Olympics.
33
AWARD CEREMONY
Krasnaya Polyana hosted 1200 competitors, journalists, organizers and rally guests for the
Silk Way Rally Dakar Series award ceremony.
In honor of the Silk Way winners a welcome reception was arranged in one of the most
luxurious resorts in the country: Polyana Grand Hotel.
Vadym Nesterchuk, № 146:
«From my point of view, the
quality of the field is very
high this year, and it is much
more representative of who’s
who in the world of rallies
than in previous editions. For
now, not all the Dakar racers
are here, but the field is still very strong and
worthy of any cross-country race, including FIA
World Cup rounds. Having raced in many international rallies, including the three editions
of the Silk Way Rally, I can say that this is the
best race from an organizational point of view.
Our safety is 100% guaranteed on a fantastic
route, and the road book is completely devoid
of errors. Of course, navigating is difficult, but
that is normal. This is my type of race: difficult
and quite long. So, I feel very much at ease».
34
Hans Stacey, № 303:
«… In the meantime, I must
say I love this race. It is a
true rally-raid, an example
for what they all should be;
with very long and difficult
stages like yesterday’s which
really remind me of the African Dakars…».
