When the streets were first cars rumbling, shrouded in clouds of smoke and dust monsters, they inspire people to unaccountable fear.
Since that time expired century. The machines are not just used, they have become part of our lives. But here and found out that the invasion of a car is not harmless. Moreover, the size of a disaster so great and serious, one might as well talk about the threat to the very life of humanity. It is no secret that about forty percent of the total amount of air pollution emissions from motor vehicles toxic carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, including carcinogens, nitrogen oxide, lead compounds, soot, dangerous to all living things. What is the solution?
Otherwise need to build streets and roads, some say. The thing in the car, others will argue. Much depends on the driver, will prove to third. And all will be in its own right.
But the city does not rebuild, tens of millions of cars at once can not change, a huge army of motorists not to retrain in one sitting. In our country it is even more difficult, which, unfortunately, has not yet formed public opinion, fully conscious of the risk of further pollution by road. That's why it's important to use everything possible to attract the attention of the population, especially those who are behind the wheel of the car and the environment are closely related issue of fuel economy.
The best remedy for that sports have come to this conclusion enthusiasts Riga Polytechnic Institute, who led by Associate Professor of Automobiles and Automobile Equipment Vitoldom Shneps more than a year working on the creation of instruments and devices that reduce fuel consumption, reduce toxic emissions.
Readers already know that the people of Riga in the past year spent on the sports complex Bikernieki rally, where the main criterion was the lowest fuel consumption. After the editors decided to make the wheel these competitions, you can tell, all-Union scale, in every room available information about the conditions EKOralli-89 requirements for cars, how to prepare them, and so we will not again return to this. It is noteworthy that motorists are interested not so much the pure sport side of things as an opportunity to test their devices in order to reduce fuel consumption, compare them with other designs craftsmen. And so it was equal to whom, the organizers invited to speak in a separate classification automobile crews and research institutes in the ordinary, but perfectly oiled machine. However, the factory workers were not limited to this. At the start we saw EKOralli prepared in our experimental GAS 24.10 with modular power units, Moskvich 2141 with a diesel engine Elko and other original machine.
Conduct a competition involving several hundred machines (namely, as applications come to the editor) is not easy. Therefore, for the first time it was decided in advance to limit the number of participants 60 crews. At the start, they turned out a little less than 58, but with a very wide geography from Moscow and Riga, Tbilisi, and Leninakan, Nadym and Leningrad, Zaporozhye and Penza, and many other cities. And in order to equalize the chances of motorists who spoke on the machines of different makes and models Zaporozhets, Moskvich, Lada, Volgas, decided to determine the winners in each of seven separate groups of credit (the eighth member of the crew and plants).
