Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

SWR Organization Committee is glad to welcome #lucalphand 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, #lucalphand has held the position of Sport and Competitors' Relations Advisor to #silkwayrally 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 #silkwayrally 2021: new route will cross Russia and Mongolia.

Dates remain the same and this summer, from July 1st to 11th, the #silkwayrally 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 #silkwayrally 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 #silkwayrally.com
