The SPbPU Extreme Sports and Technical Creativity Club team continues to take top places in the all-around automobile competition.
The final round of the St. Petersburg Championship and Junior Championship at the Igora Drive circuit featured three track types: classic high-speed maneuvering and two non-standard courses. The KSTT "Extreme" team demonstrated consistent results across all disciplines, which impacted the competition's outcome: the team took silver at both the Igora and the year-end championships. The stage was won by Ilya Shitik, a student at the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education at SPbPU. He finished third in his second St. Petersburg Championship at the end of the year.
"It's always nice to win. I'm glad that our efforts in preparing both ourselves and the team's Lada Granta are paying off," the Polytechnician commented on the successful performance.
Another team member, the experienced Pavel Alekseev, took bronze at the stage and silver at the end of the year championship.
"It's been a challenging year, but we know what we need to address and what needs to be fixed, so I have no doubt it will only get better," Pavel shared.
It's also worth noting the young blood: 15-year-old Viktor Sorokin demonstrated good speed throughout the season, which allowed him to win silver in the St. Petersburg championship.
At the final of the Northwestern Federal District Championship in Veliky Novgorod, the team gold and first two places were again won by Ilya Shitik and Pavel Alekseev, but this time the top step of the podium was conquered by a more experienced athlete.
"It's always great when there's competition on a team. Then no one stands still and everyone strives to improve not only themselves but also their peers," says Sergei Korovay, the team's coach and a mechanic at the Department of Transport and Mechanization at SPbPU.
