The best way to learn about something is to talk to someone who knows about it. The Suprotec Racing channel is a meeting place for people involved in motorsports. You can only do it if you can't imagine or want any other life. Motorsports consumes you whole. And the people who come to talk with Konstantin "Academeg" Zarutsky have something to share with their viewers.
This is a fun, interesting, casual—and genuine—conversation. The desire is to make those who underpin motorsports a little more famous, and the viewers a little more knowledgeable. Enjoy!
This channel is a project of Suprotec http://suprotec.ru
In 2016, the channel was created as a video diary for the Suprotec Racing rally-raid team, chronicling the construction of their own Niva race car and their participation in the Russian Rally-Raid Championship and the Silk Way Rally. This project was closed in early 2019.
