The 2024 Silk Way Rally
A Thrilling Adventure Through Novosibirsk Region
The International Silk Way Rally is marking its 15th anniversary with an unparalleled expedition that promises to test the mettle of the world’s premier drivers and offer an extraordinary adventure for amateur participants. Spanning over 5,500 kilometers, this year’s route is set to be the most diverse in the history of the event, weaving through the Russian Federation, Mongolia, and the People’s Republic of China. Competitors will navigate a myriad of climates, from the icy stretches of permafrost to the sweltering expanses of hot deserts, on entirely new and uncharted paths.
The 2024 rally will once again include the Novosibirsk Region in its path, concluding the selective section of this stage in the heart of West Siberia. Known for its rich historical tapestry, the region is a cultural crossroads where Slavic, Turkic, Mongolic, and other influences converge, embodying centuries of diverse traditions. As a pivotal point in the rally, the Novosibirsk Region not only presents challenging terrains but also offers a deep dive into the confluence of cultures that have shaped this unique area.
Founded in 1937, the Novosibirsk Region played a critical role during World War II and the subsequent industrial and scientific development of Russia. Home to the esteemed Novosibirsk Akademgorodok (Academic Town), the region is a beacon of scientific achievement, housing a vibrant community of researchers contributing to a wide array of fields. Novosibirsk, the region’s capital and the third-largest city in Russia, stands as a testament to rapid growth and development, boasting significant contributions to sports, science, and the arts.
The Silk Way Rally’s inclusion of the Novosibirsk Region is not merely a nod to its strategic and cultural significance but also a celebration of its burgeoning sports scene, including hockey, wrestling, fencing, motorsport, and more. The region’s previous experience in hosting the rally in 2021 has set a high standard for organization and engagement, promising a spectacular event for competitors and spectators alike.
As the Silk Way Rally embarks on this ambitious journey, the Novosibirsk Region is poised to once again captivate the world with its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unwavering spirit of adventure. This year’s event is not just a race; it’s a bridge connecting cultures, disciplines, and people in an unparalleled celebration of endurance, skill, and the human spirit.
