Results of the second stage of the RAF Cup (SMP RCRS) in Kazan.

The past race weekend at Kazan Ring Canyon was rich in events and impressions. A difficult track with large elevation changes and sharp turns provided interest and a lot of emotions to all participants in the race. The ArtLine Racing team was represented by Alexey Khairov and Artem Kabakov driving ArtTech Evolution (Legends Evolution) cars.

As expected, the Legends had no equal in qualifying, but Artem's mistake at the turn (crossing the white line) moved him to the 3rd starting place.

• Best lap time (Qualification): 1:31.796 – Artem Kabakov

Race 1 started hard for everyone. Technical problems with Alexey's car did not allow him to pass the race, and Artem did not have a good start. However, even starting with a delay from the pit lane, after 8 minutes he won back the time spent and took a leadership position in the peloton.

Race 2 for the Legends took place in a more familiar way. Artem and Aleksey kept in suspense all the time, stubbornly fighting for the championship at every turn. As a result of the confrontation, Artem Kabakov won the overall victory, and Alexei Khairov became the second.

We congratulate the winners and prize-winners of the stage and express our gratitude to everyone who was involved in this festival of speed.
The 3rd stage of the RAF Cup (SMP RCRS) will be held from 19 to 21 August in Moscow on the Moscow Raceway.
