The LADA Sport ROSNEFT Junior karting team successfully competed in the Russian Championship finals, claiming two victories in the team and individual standings. The competition took place last weekend at the Plastunka karting track in Sochi.
Two drivers emerged as team heroes. Yaroslav Shevyrtalov, competing in the fastest "KZ-2" class, became the Russian Champion in the individual standings thanks to a successful finish ahead of his main competitor. In the "OK" class, Stepan Antonov contributed to the overall victory for LADA Sport ROSNEFT Junior, winning gold in the final.
In the face of intense competition, the success of the LADA Sport ROSNEFT Junior pilots allowed them to secure a team victory and confirm their status as Russia's strongest team for the fourth year in a row.
Karting is the entry level to global motorsports. Rosneft and the LADA Sport ROSNEFT team have jointly supported this sport for many years, offering young people the opportunity to pursue careers as professional drivers in the main team, where graduates of the youth program achieve high results.
A week earlier, LADA Sport ROSNEFT also became the country's best racing team in the Russian Circuit Racing Series (RCRS) for the fourth consecutive time, with Leonid Panfilov winning the Super Production class championship. Panfilov is a graduate of the LADA Sport ROSNEFT youth team and a two-time winner of the Russian Karting Championship.
