Sports Kamaz trucks for the 'Dakar "

Probably, all motorists know about the athletic achievements KAMAZ racing team in the famous 'Dakar'. Rally-raid the 'Dakar' is held every year and our trucks are always among the winners. The trend continues, what is the evidence in the form of another victory Firdaus Kabirov South American "Dakar", which took place this year. Total team "Kamaz-Master" has scored eight wins in 20 years of participation in the rally-raid in the desert. With these victories trucks KAMAZ became recognizable around the world and earned international recognition. Many certainly wonder what cars are involved in the 'Dakar' and how they differ from conventional cars KAMAZ, who "roam" on country roads. After all, specially for the rally-raid the 'Dakar' trucks are the most brutal modernization to survive in difficult races in the desert. The car should be strong so as not to fall apart from the regular jumping, and endurance to run the day to 500-700 kilometers in scorching sands of the "Dakar". All repairs of KAMAZ trucks are on their own, because of this combat vehicle crew includes in addition to the driver and the navigator is also a mechanic. We examine technical device Kamaz "4911-EXTREME», which is the prototype of a race car for the 'Dakar'. As the motor unit is used Yaroslavl Engine Plant, which is equipped with two turbochargers and cooling system, defied the air into the engine. Maximum capacity of this unit makes 730 hp and "unrealistic" 2700 "Newtonian" torque. But for those who think that the technical parameters of the engine needed to make a great top speed, he is mistaken. Indeed, in rally-raid the 'Dakar' maximum speed of cars participating has little value, and in some places and at all limited to 150 km / h. The most important thing for such an engine, it certainly is its torque, which is required to overcome the quicksand, and that the car just is not stuck in them. Another interesting feature of KAMAZ "4911-EXTREME», is that the frame is rigidly fixed body, and so rigidly fixed to the body of the chair. Of course, the comfort of such a decision, to put it mildly, a little, but this feature helps the pilot to feel the nuances of the behavior of a racing car and therefore respond quickly to any changes. In addition, racing cars KAMAZ differ from their civilian counterparts presence of additional lighting lamps, sports racing seats, the presence of an electric winch, as well as other wheels with tires of the company "Michelin". Besides the main racing KAMAZ is the so-called "technicals". This is a racing car, but its main purpose is to assist the main vehicle. Because of this, in the back of "technicals" there are different parts KAMAZ, as well as extra sets of tires, and tires. It is the "technicals" and the mechanics of doing a front that invisible robots, by which our team "Kamaz-Master" comes out on top every year, thus bringing joy to us, true fans of real racing cars.
