Russian blogger and athlete Asxab Tamaev has come to Uzbekistan to work on a large-scale project. This was reported by Upl.uz.
He aims to organize a car race with a prize pool of $500,000. This idea emerged a year ago as a result of Tamaev's famous race with an autoblogger named Venqalbi.
This race attracted the attention of millions of viewers in the CIS countries. Tamaev is known for his thrilling car duels and had invited all racers in the region to challenge him.
The first to respond to this invitation was Uzbek autoblogger Sanjik. Sanjik's videos and drift races made him popular among local car enthusiasts.
He claimed that he could leave Tamaev's BMW M5 behind with his own car, and that is precisely why the Russian guest visited Uzbekistan. Upon arriving in Tashkent, Tamaev was welcomed with traditional Uzbek hospitality.
Sanjik organized a tour to the famous Chorsu market, not only as a competitor but also as a friendly host. Here, Tamaev got acquainted with the local culture and tasted national dishes – delicious pilaf, sweet shashlik, and traditional kurt.
Around the market, he met fans who recognized him and showed their support before the race. The bustling trade rows and rich food of Chorsu market were Tamaev's first introduction to Uzbek culture.
The organization of a race with such a large prize pool has sparked interest not only among car enthusiasts but also among the local population. According to Sanjik, the competition will not only test speed but also showcase the skills of Uzbek racers.
Tamaev emphasized that his BMW M5 is in good condition and expressed his readiness for serious competition. The exact date and location of the race have not yet been announced, but sources indicate that the organizers are negotiating with local authorities to ensure safety.
Law enforcement agencies are expected to be involved to maintain order during the competition. Besides sports, Tamaev's visit to Uzbekistan also focused on cultural exchange.
He strolled through Chorsu market and interacted with the local population, which became an informal part of his trip. The blogger highly appreciated the hospitality of the Uzbeks and noted that such meetings help to better understand the country.
Sanjik pointed out that besides winning the race, it is important to show Tamaev the richness of Uzbek culture. Detailed information about the event, including the race route and participation conditions, is expected to be announced in the coming days.
Chorsu market is considered one of the oldest markets in Central Asia, with a history of over a thousand years. It should be noted that Asxab Tamaev has a somewhat controversial reputation in his homeland.
Previously, he was criticized for promoting betting companies and dubious projects.
