2019 m. August 2 d.

Less than a week left to third “Samsonas Rally Rokiškis“ which will take place in Rokiškis and around it. Fan of this sport will gather together on 9 – 10 August. Martynas Samsonas the nominal partner of event will also start here. He will fly down the Special Stages by self-constructed 4WD BMW M3X distinguished by its brutal force.

Martynas Samsonas sat infront of its steering when at the very first “Samsonas Rally Rokiškis 2017”. Crew with co-driver Mindaugas Varža quit the race after managing half of distancy then. Even though crew had third place overall, but BMW M3X broke down then.

A year later Martynas Samsonas participated in “Samsonas Rally Rokiškis“ with a truck GAZ. Unfortunatelly machine couldn`t manage the pace dictated by sportsman. Martynas decided to come back to the roots and turn the engine of „hell machine“ again. So spectators will have a chance to enjoy views of red BMW M3X.

“We had plans to drive “Fiesta”. But we will give that car to Teemu Asunmaa. BMW E36 will be given to Toni Gardemeister. “Fiesta” of Neikšans will drive Martinš Sesks. So it will not be boring for spectators. So BMW M3X left for us. Everything is ok with car. It is ready to race. It probably won`t be the fastest car according to level of current technics. But I think spectators won`t be bored. Our goal is driving for spectators and for our pleasure”,- said Martynas Samsonas.

According to Martynas, BMW M3X was modified a little bit why car haven`t done some previous races till the end.

“Last year in “Winter Rally” we lost acceleration. It was electronic and now we` ve changed it to mechanical one. We`ve done a lot of test kilometers, so now we see that everything is ok. During test car was driven-rear. But it so many horses are too much for one axis. Tire are worn out and no acceleration. So we have put 4WD back and we are ready to give beautiful views for spectators”, – said Martynas Samsonas.

“Samsonas Rally Rokiškis“ will have 80 participants from 10 countries. Crews will deal with almost 150 km divided into 16 Special Stages.
