Igora Drive Autodrome will host the Russia-Northern Forest Baja in February

Autodrome "Igora Drive" in the Leningrad region from February 7 to 9 will host a rally-raid - baja (off-road racing) "Russia - Northern Forest" on snow and ice, which this year will unite automobile and motorcycle sports on one site. This is stated in the message "Igora Drive" on January 20.

The race will be held in two statuses - the first stage of the Russian Rally-Raid Championship and the All-Russian motorcycle rally competition. The format of the competition will remain unchanged.

"In 2025, the organizers have redesigned the route - most of the race will take place on high-speed sections that have never been used before as part of the Russia-Northern Forest Baja." Crews in cars will have to pass about 400 kilometers on special sections, which are laid in Priozersky and Vyborgsky districts of the Leningrad region. The length of the race for athletes on motorcycles is less - about 120 km, but the special stages will also be distributed over all three competition days", - stated in the message.

After summarizing the results of all the races, the awarding of winners and prize-winners of the rally-raid "Russia - Northern Forest" will take place.
