The young Russian pilot Vasily Gryazin is well-known in Latvia due to the fact that the Latvian law allows to participate in the motorsports competitions starting from the age of 16, and exactly in Latvia he started his rally career. Thus Vasily still has the Latvian “motorsports citizenship” so to say. Vasily’s interest in rally is natural as his father was once one of the strongest Russian pilots with the WRC experience Stanislav Gryazin. By choosing varied and complicated Baltic rallies for his son’s skills improvement and by wisely choosing the race equipment, Vasily’s father has already experienced his son’s first wins and achievements — in 2012 Vasily Gryazin became the winner of the Latvian Cup in the R4 class. This season the 19-year-old sportsman plans further international races as well as participation in the Latvian and Russian Championship.
