How did the car racing become popular in the Soviet Union
News24xx.com - A car racing is very popular in the Soviet Union. Because of its popularity, the country even held its own Formula 1 race!
In the 1920s, the Soviet Russian government did not really care about car racing. Such activities only attract the enthusiasm of those who are truly interested. In 1924, the Soviet Union's first car race was held outside Moscow.
The situation changed when in the 1930s, the government approached car racing as part of military training. Since then, car racing has become very popular, even on par with flights. The mass media also devoted much of their attention to the race.
Since then also, there is a special race (called racing line), which is held on the highways. The racers must reach a certain point and turn around.
The car used is a mass-produced car. However, in the late 1930s, the first two Soviet racing cars were made, the GL-1 and ZIS-101 Sport. The GL-1 model can reach speeds of up to 162 km / h and is the fastest car in the Soviet Union at that time.
In 1951, the version of SportPobeda (Victory), the famous Soviet car, broke the Soviet speed record by driving up to 191 km / hr. In the same year, another racing car, ZIS-112, was made. The car was nicknamed "Cyclopes" because it only had one lamp.
In the 1950s, car racing became increasingly popular. Soviet car designers designed racing cars that looked like Formula 1 models. In 1958, in Soviet Estonia, cognominal racing cars were created and transformed into a series of Soviet racing cars.
The Tallinn factory is the largest race car manufacturer in the country. One of the best tracks for such a race, Bikernieki, is located in Latvia.
