On September 28, 2018, the 2018 Silk Road Rally China Station came to an end. The event was fierce and the game was complicated and exciting.

The event was hosted by the General Administration of Sport of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation. The race started on September 25th in Xi'an, the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties. The race then extended to the Tengger Desert area of ​​Alashan Zuoqi. The total length of the race was 1,600 kilometers, of which the special stage mileage was nearly 800 kilometers.

Looking back at the overall schedule of the China Station, the third stage (SS3) is the most difficult. Although the course is the same as the second stage, but the different passing points are set, the navigator needs to be more careful. Moreover, the rain on the first night of the night increased the hardness of the desert surface, and the ruts left in the desert easily caught the rear car.

In the face of such a situation, the drivers of the Kamaz Masters team said that the Dongfeng Cummins ISZ engine has a power of 1,060 hp and a torque of 4,500 N·m, which can meet the requirements of any international rally today and provide the perfect power guarantee. However, in the case of a particularly complicated game, you need some tricks to make the power better released and reflected, showing the performance of the whole car. For example, in such a desert area, the lower tire pressure can increase the contact area between the tire and the ground, increase the grip of the tire, and give the vehicle more power.

When talking about the difficulties in the game, the driver of the Kamaz Masters team is most impressed by the "chicken nest pit". This means that the dry and fine sand in the desert is blown by the wind to form a bunker. Not too small, just fit into a car, it is easy to get stuck in the car, and trapped in such a bunker, if the brute force will only get deeper and deeper. In the second day, there were drivers who suffered neck injuries due to plunging into the chicken pit, and the driver was strongly impacted in the hidden chicken pit, and the steering wheel was deformed. Both the driver and the pilot’s back felt Discomfort has affected subsequent competitions.

The Kamaz Masters team successfully completed the competition, in which the Kakinov team scored the best, and he also expressed his views on the issue of “chicken nest”. As a racer of the rally, it needs to have a good fit with the navigator and the engine. The navigator needs to be responsive and keep abreast of changes in road conditions and "traps" that are difficult to survey in advance.

The close cooperation with the engine requires the driver to fully understand the performance of the engine, not only relying on the engine to provide power, but also the driver to know how to use this infinite power. For example, in uphill, side slope, and soft sections, it is necessary to use a reasonable range of engine speeds. A reasonable range of speeds can provide continuous power output without causing tires to smash.

After many international competitions, the Dongfeng Cummins ISZ engine has cultivated a deep friendship and tacit understanding with the cars and drivers of the Kamaz Masters team, which makes the engine run smarter and adds a humanistic care. Kang Kang believes that after the integration of the power of the ISZ engine and the experience of the driver, it will be invincible in future events!
