The retro rally season is officially closed. The last race of 2019 was held on September 15 in the Moscow suburbs. Apart from the main track, the participants competed in slalom. The final race of the 2019 Classic Car Club Rally season started from the Gorka heliport in the Odintsovo district (Aksinino, 163).
About 20 cars took part in the rally. The most "senior" rally participant turned 90 – the 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom headed the retromobile field. It was followed along the route by the 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, the 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL, the 1960 Chevrolet-Corvette, as well as by the classics of the domestic automotive industry, such as GAZ 21, Gas 13 Chaika, and Zaporozhets ZAZ 965A released in 1967.
According to the rules, the cars set off along the route encrypted in the road book – this is about 80 kilometers down the roads of the Moscow Oblast. The task of the participants was to demonstrate their skill, accuracy and beauty of driving rather than its speed.
The theme of the season’s final retro rally was "The Thieves of Our Hearts". The participants were offered a rustic style in clothing, and they could take their pets to the crew. The most stylish teams and the most charming pets were noted in the fashion nominations, while a special prize was awarded to crew No. 10 "for propagation and commitment to the traditions of the domestic automotive industry". Andrei Fedyunin and Ogannes Ogannisyan completed the track on a GAZ 21P car.
