Lithuanians have started the trip around Baltic States – 5 000 km in 2 days
The official start of Aurum 1006 km race was in Vytautas street at Palanga on Thursday morning. 38 teams’ race cars have been parked across the street, but a vehicle in front of them all was a regular Kia Proceed. Its drivers Vitoldas Milius and Aidas Bubinas have started their own race: they’ll try to drive around Baltic Sea as fast as they can.
Every year in Aurum 1006 km race drivers come up with different challenges. Some years ago Vitoldas has driven in reverse gear for over 300 km. Last year the duo drove 1000 kilometres in and electric Kia Soul EV in 21 hours and 33 minutes.
The drivers seek adventurous trips not only in Aurum 1006 km race but elsewhere as well.
No fuel emission records will be challenged, because the goal is to finish as fast as possible. Vitoldas and Aidas has started their trip on Thursday morning and they’re willing to finish before the 1006 km race ends in Saturday evening. They’re going to cover about 5000 kilometres in total.
