Let's sum up the results of 2023 and set goals for the next year with Alexander Nesterov.

The frosts that struck a couple of weeks ago, the ice-filled ADM Raceway, the anticipation of the holidays and the bustle of December - it’s time to talk about the results of the past year, as well as outline routes for the future.
In 2023, at our home circuit ADM Raceway, the 3-stage Moscow Region Ice Racing Cup and the 3-stage Moscow Region Circuit Racing Championship took place. The team took part in two endurance races at the Russian Cup in Sochi using the ArtTech Evolution car, work on which was carried out throughout the season. Significant upgrades to the vehicle's systems were tested during testing.

Head of ArtLine Technology Alexander Nesterov:

“This year we have built 5 new ArtTech Evolution cars and carried out a series of tests, based on the results of which we have concluded that this car is suitable for both short and long races. During endurance racing, the car had no failures and everything worked perfectly. ArtTech Evolution is currently undergoing testing at the RIM track in Georgia, which will continue throughout the winter season.”

Also, an important event in the life of the Team was the resumption of work on Formula cars. Thus, Formula 1600 was assembled and finalized, which will become available for testing this spring. But that's not all. The company, under the import substitution program, began developing a monocoque, its own production. Previously, these car parts were always supplied from abroad.

Alexander Nesterov: “We have now almost completed the main stage of creating a model of a domestic monocoque, according to which we will be able to glue the first carbon fiber samples. This product will become universal: the monocoque is suitable for Formula 3 and Formula 4 cars and below.”

In addition, the company continues to improve another current project - the MARTT car, work and tests of which were carried out regularly throughout 2023. During the winter, testing on the track was stopped, but there are big plans for next year.

Alexander Nesterov: “In 2024, we want to build a ring version of the MARTT GT and plan to go on road tests with it. There are also plans to assemble a prototype of a Formula 5 car, which in terms of speed will be Formula 4. The difference will be in its simplified design - a built-in gearbox in a motorcycle engine.”

In general, the plans are grandiose and there is a lot of work. In the meantime, we are busy preparing for the ice racing season, and we hope that the thaw of the last few days will not last too long.
