There are two main approaches to old cars. First: it is junk, it can be disposed of or rotted under the fence. Second: this is history, it must be repaired and stored. It was the second path that the Moscow company Old Time, which was originally engaged in restoring rare and rare equipment, chose. And in a few years, it turned the unpretentious race of classic cars into a festival, which today can be considered the largest in the country.

Let's walk along the Moscow Raceway, where according to tradition, at the beginning of summer, old timers of all times and nations gather.
Rock and Roll with Ketchup

Race of the Stars “Driving” 2018: time and place It seemed that the emphasis of the event was gradually shifting from pure races to the right side of the show. This is still a rare example for Russian races, when the paddock is seething and you don’t want to leave the platform from it. With a dozen types of entertainment for the audience - from harmless karting to extreme horse racing. Even a shooting range! Not to mention retail outlets, live rock and roll and plenty of food. Its range and prices, however, do not fit very well into the retroconception, partly tied to the traditions and symbols of the USSR. In the Union, of all this food, they probably saw only ice cream from GUM, the country's main department store. And the probable opponent’s hot dog was found in a simplified form only at VDNKh: wavy sausages with round buns for three pennies. Without ketchup, of course.
In the USSR, this was prohibited. At the festival Moscow Classic - you can. In the USSR, this was prohibited. At the festival Moscow Classic - you can. |
Foreigners who have been developing the racing business for the second hundred years have long realized that for success it is not enough to bring out twenty or even one hundred cars. The audience must be lured so that the children in a year simply jerked it: dad, well, when will we go to the race again ?! The organizers of the Moscow Classic festival seem to have been able to adopt useful experience. But the rides and eateries would not have been effective without everything else.
Hopeless Racing
The GAZ 4 pickup truck was produced in 1933-1937, only a few copies survived the war. Only a few units of fully restored machines are known, their market value is about 50 thousand dollars.

Everything else is a huge number of old and very old cars and motorcycles, as well as all kinds of show cars. Part of the cars was restored and created by the Old Time company itself - for example, a whole collection of GAZ pre-war cars. And the rest was brought by partner friends and … the audience - the owners of the old timers! The most pleasant thing for parents and especially children is the availability of many exhibits for close acquaintance, up to sitting in them. Or climb the unique amphibian UAZ 3907 Jaguar, which was once released with a circulation of only 14 pieces.

5 uncomfortable questions about the Race of Stars - 2018 If after a dozen walking circles on the paddock there is still time to watch the race, then the day was a success. Do not forget that this is not the "Indie 500" and not "24 hours of Le Mans." Moscow Classic Grand Prix - amateur racing. So, contact wrestling and rough riding are strictly prohibited and nipped in the bud. But at the same time there are really a hundred cars, even more. And among them there are foreign cars - old Porsche, BMW, Mini. The MCGP code of practice reads: technology - at least 30 years old, only rear-wheel drive and only a carburetor power system.
