The Ukraine Hillclimb Championship started last weekend with a double header on two very different tracks. Lets start with Saturdays results before putting Sundays results in the next post.
The Truskavets Grand Prix was a brand-new hillclimb on the calendar. The organisers drew a 3,2 kilometre long race track right through the heart of Truskavets. A competitive field of 24 drivers, nice weather and a good crowd combined to make the event a succes. Six drivers in nearly equal Mitsubishi Lancers would contest for victory and four of them actually did. At the end of the day the first four drivers were seperated by less than two seconds! Pavlo Chumakov was the fastest of them and he took home victory. Anton Korzun and Volodimir Petrenko had the exact same time in two of the three races, but Korzun was .1 second better in the third. This was enough for Korzun to take the runner-up spot. Last year’s champion Boris Gandzha was the unlucky one as he finished fourth.
