ENJOY THE CSDD BIĶERNIEKI TRACK IN THE PASSENGER’S SEAT OF A RACE CAR

RĪGA, LATVIA
02/08/2018

During this year’s Neste World RX of Latvia, a round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, attendees will have an opportunity to get in the passenger’s seat of a race car, being driven around the CSDD Biķernieki track by a professional racing driver.

On September 15, the driving will be done by experienced rally and rallycross drivers Jānis Berķis, Māris Neikšāns and Vasily Gryazin. There will be a choice of three cars – Ford Fiesta R5, Fiesta NRC Prototype, and RX2. Considering that the track availability is limited, there will be a total of ten drives for each car, with each run lasting two laps – one regular lap and one Joker lap. These drives will take place after all the official runs of day one, around 19:00.

“Last year we offered these drives for the first time and witnessed that spectators really enjoy having an opportunity to sit in the passenger’s seat and feel the emotions and experience of rallycross drivers when tackling the Rīga rallycross track!

These positive emotions were the reason why we decided to continue this activity, which, we could further improve thanks to effort of Latvian rally and rallycross teams, Neikšāns Rallysport and Sports Racing Technologies. In 2017, there was only one car – Mitsubishi Evo X, but this year’s offering is significantly improved, as we will be offering three cars, produced for either rally or rallycross, and driven by three very experienced professionals – Jānis Berķis, Māris Neikšāns, and Vasily Gryazin!” says RA Events and Neste World RX of Latvia director Raimonds Strokšs.
