May 21, Braslav / Sergey Kochetov - BELTA/. Belarusian roads, particularly in the Braslav district, are attractive for holding stages of the Russian Open Rally Championships. This was stated at a press conference by the head of the "Slavic Cup" international rally race, Chairman of the Rally Committee of the Russian Automobile Federation Alexey Ershov, BELTA correspondent reports. "We have experience in holding races in other countries, and the track in Braslav was chosen primarily due to its convenient geographical location and quality characteristics," he noted. The Braslav district is easily accessible for racers from Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as athletes from the Baltic countries. The race director noted that Belarusian organizers worked clearly and well in preparing the races, although there were some rough edges. "It so happened that the RAF has more experience in organizing such races, but we are ready to share our experience with our Belarusian colleagues, including learning together with them," said Alexey Ershov. The "Slavic Cup" rally is taking place in Braslav with the participation of 55 crews from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, and Lithuania. The race is included in the official calendar of the International Automobile Federation.
