Hot racing: competition for speed and cleverness

On October 15, in the company Bizon hosted the traditional sports and technical holiday «Driver and Service Mechanic Day». 40 riders and 30 service mechanics tested themselves in car maneuvering and professional skill competition as well. No less bright were the tournaments on the playground, which brought together more than 80 employees' children. The uncompromising rivalry between the participants and the weather, which gave us a warm sunny day, made the competition very hot.

Snake», «parking in the boxes», «reversal», «high-speed section» … Drivers immediately surprised the audience with good autoslalom skills. Racers started in pairs — 34 men and 6 women separately. Elimination game from the second stage. Everyone tried to come to the finish line first, without hitting the cones, performing the figures correctly, without violating the finish line with the «base». On steep turns, the participants had to show not only the best time, but also the accuracy of driving.

Retro-cars as route demonstrators, personal vehicles, and «workhorses» of sales managers, and even a deputy car with a «flashing light» drove out onto the track. At the same time, power was not always decisive. It was more important to feel the dimensions of the car and master the technique of cornering. A new stage — a new combination of figures, even louder squeal of rubber and stronger thirst for victory…

Team competitions became more spectacular and unpredictable. Four cars, four men and one girl took part in the pair relay races. Start, perform complex driving elements, change car and driver. Swiftness and accuracy are the right way to success, but a lot also depended on the speed of transferring passengers from car to car. This year, the task was made more difficult by transporting four suitcases and a large polar bear. The cabin must have been a bit cramped. But in good company, few people paid attention to this.

After the grand opening, between the stages of the motorists' competition and at the end of the sports festival, there will be a competition for service mechanics. For the first time, ten teams representing the service centers of the company Bizon holding competed in it. The competition of service crews took place in 5 stages, during which the masters had to show their knowledge, technical skills, speed and ingenuity. First of all, all the maintenance specialists made an impromptu preparation before leaving for the customers — they temporarily replaced the wheels of service cars and collected 128 tools in an organizer. Then 8 teams, using hydraulic carts as scooters, delivered the mufflers and installed them on the tractors. In the intellectual competition of four teams, three semi-finalists were determined, who at the next test demonstrated their strength and dexterity in moving pyramids from metal barrels. At the finishing stage, two teams of service mechanics lit fires, rotated gymnastic hoops, devoured loaves, sausage and soda — even when solving complex problems in the field, you always need to have time to eat properly.

The most exciting were the final high-speed stages. Races up to two victories. Stubborn struggle did not subside until the last second. According to the results of the competition, the first place in the women’s race was taken by Ekaterina Zhamoytuk. Ivan Savitsky won the men’s event. Specialists from branch of Dinskaya won the competition for mechanics, who for the first time climbed the podium and received the emblem-sticker «Champion’s Golden Cup» on board the service car.
