The President's adress

A man remains a man till he is interested in something new, sets himself interesting goals, enjoys victories and experiences difficult happiness of overcoming. To become better, higher and freer – that’s the worthy aim of living. The world around us is full of chances to show our worth, to become somebody else, to find new friends and like-minded people. Motor-sport is one of the most beautiful and at the same time maximally available ways to make your dreams come true. To join in it means to look at the world in a different way. Motor-sport has helped a lot of people to discover new talents and start new life. It gives you a chance to become somebody else: a winner, a superman, a reliable friend. It helps you to become yourself.

Alexander Yakhnich,

President of Yakhnich Motorsport
