The KAMAZ-master team is rightfully considered the legend of Russian motorsport. The 25-year history of the team is a series of victories and outstanding achievements. Three-time winner of the World Cup in off-road rally, multiple winner and eleven-time winner of the Dakar super marathon, marked by the highest category of complexity, three-time winner of the Silk Way international rally, the permanent leader of the Russian rally championships. In 2013, the team celebrates its anniversary, and the triumph of young pilots at once in two significant races at the beginning of the year became the best gift for it: all three crews of the team took the Dakar podium in South America, and the Africa Eco Race African marathon ended with an equally brilliant victory for the Russian crew.
