SILK WAY RALLY 2021 : LUC ALPHAND APPOINTED SPORTING DIRECTOR, NEW RACE ROUTE

Feb 19, 2021

SWR Organization Committee is glad to welcome Luc Alphand as Sporting Director.

For every sport fan, Luc is an iconic person: an Alpine Skiing World Cup champion, winner of several international car races, he is an expert, who participates actively in the organization of world’s greatest competitions. During the last five years, Luc Alphand has held the position of Sport and Competitors’ Relations Advisor to Silk Way Rally Director.

Due to modifications in rally sports policy and considering suggestions and expectations of competitors, the Organization Committee together with the China Auto Moto Federation (CAMF) made the joint decision to modify the racing route of the Silk Way Rally 2021: new route will cross Russia and Mongolia.

Dates remain the same and this summer, from July 1st to 11th, the Silk Way Rally will enable its participants to set off for an amazing journey to discover the beautiful Siberia, unique landscapes of Mongolia, ancient history and rich culture of rally host countries. Across highlands, taiga, steppes and desert, competitors will have the opportunity to test themselves and their vehicles on demanding tracks.

As Silk Way Rally is the only Marathon event of the season, both round of the FIA Cross Country World Cup and of the FIM Cross Country World Championship, the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation, FIA, FIM, the Russian Automobile Federation and the Motorcycle Federation of Russia have been informed of this decision, that they approved.

Race entries will open on March 1st from when it will be possible for competitors to register on our website.
