The role of “zero” cars in rallies is simple. They must pass the section first, ensuring that all safety conditions are ensured. Usually the cars chosen for this task are models such as the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO or a Renault Clio S1600.
However, there was someone who thought that these models are already very popular and decided to turn to a Lada Niva for the service. It's true that the simple Russian all-terrain has permanent all-wheel drive, and has even been piloted by the Red Bull men in a funny race, but does it have what it takes to accomplish such an important task?
Judging by the images it seems so. It's true that he's not the fastest to complete a stage, but that he manages to cover the section in a showy way, he does. The pilot cuts corners, walks sideways and even makes some jumps with the small jeep, showing that the Lada may not be the fastest option, but it should be one of the most fun. If you don't believe it, you have to watch the video.
