Volgari athletes have always been a kind of closed caste, among other motoring athletes they enjoyed a reputation for being aggressive and reckless - a rare competition with their participation did without serious damage to the bodies of sports cars. This is partly due to the mediocre handling of the car. Seasoned athletes said that the driver is not fighting with rivals, but with the car. The Volga engine, heavily deformed in the factory configuration, in racing versions was easily brought up to 150-175 hp. from the same volume, which, combined with the lightening of the car and the refinement of the chassis, gave good dynamics. The main type of competition was circuit racing and autocross, and also popular among professional drivers were massive competitions among employees of taxi and car fleets for the regularity of movement and driving skills. Most often, the use of "Volga" as a sports car was explained only by the availability of decommissioned cars at the enterprises. -- Last edit: 2021-03-13 21:24:42
