Grozny residents forced to watch motor races
On April 14 and 15, in the Chechen capital, the motordrome "Grozny Fortress" hosted the first stage of the Russian series of ring races under the SMP Racing programme for the development of motorsport. Among the spectators there were many public employees, who claimed they were forced to attend the competitions.
The race involved 70 athletes from Russia.
"The event turned out to be interesting and spectacular and it took place with almost complete stands," the "Caucasian Knot" was informed at the Chechen Ministry for Public Transport.
There were fans of motorsport among the spectators. A lot of women came to watch the races.
"We were obliged to come, otherwise, as always, they promised us problems at work," said Kheda, an employee of a Chechen public institution.
"I can even understand when men are driven here. That's okay, they like cars. Meanwhile, for me, such a show is completely of no interest. Besides, I've got headache because of the roar of engines," said Madina, another spectator.
