Maria Panova becomes Russia's fastest woman

24.10.2012

On 6 October, the final of the Russian Drag Race Championship took place in front of packed rows of spectators and with the support of Motul's distributor in the southern region. The many categories saw highly spectacular machines contend: a 1,500 hp turbo-compressor Lamborghini Gallardo, a Nissan Skyline GT-R of the same power or a Porsche 911 Turbo of over 1,000 hp. But one of the highlights of the day was the participation of a charming young woman, Maria Panova, at the wheel of a fearsome 1,200 hp Toyota Soarer. Showing exceptional performance, she demonstrated during a run an incredibly short reaction time — 0,007 seconds — to become  Russia's fastest woman! The day's best time was secured by Dmitry Kapustin at the wheel of a Nissan Skyline BNR 32, after the retirement of the favourite, Andrey Kravchenko.
