This year, the sports program of the Great Steppe will be complemented by a new project combining real rally raids and virtual races. In the fijital center of Elista, a tournament will be held in which the participants of the rally-raid will be able to compete for victory in digital format. The competitions will be held on the basis of the Russian computer game “Commanders off-road”, developed by FOXHOUND studio. Awarding the winners of the tournament is scheduled for October 17.
Another event will be the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between the organizer of the Baha – NP “Interregional Association of Rally Raid Athletes” (NP ROSRR) – and FOXHOUND with the assistance of the Ministry of Sport of Kalmykia. One of the areas of future cooperation is the transfer of real rally-raid tracks to the virtual space, including the section of the competition route in Kalmykia. To do this, it is planned to use materials collected directly on the ground to accurately convey the features of the Kalmyk landscape and race tracks in the game.
Recall that the Great Steppe Baha will complete the Russian Rally Raid Championship in the cargo standings. The race takes place in Kalmykia from 13 to 17 October.
