The Komiautosport team and its leader Anton Melnikov are in Top-5 at the Russian Cup 2017 rally. Sides of this famous rally driver's car bear the logo of Triazavirin®, a new antiviral remedy.

The racers from Komi took part in two stages of Cup of Russia 2017: Snow Battle and Legend of the Lake bajas. The last stage, according to Anton Melnikov, turned out to be the most difficult one. Denis Krotov, another rally participant, 'caught' the Komi racers, which resulted in a damaged wheel of Anton Melnikov’s car. Still, thanks to experience and commitment, the Komiautosport team managed to score the same number of points as their opponent and share a Russian Cup 2017 prize.

The Legend of the Lake 2017 bajas took place in the Ivanovo Region, on the territory of the Khromtsovsky quarry, late October. The participants had to overcome 150 kilometres of a difficult three-dimensional taxiway with lots of complex turns and uneasy navigation tasks. On some sections, the road turned out to be sandy and hardly puddled. Anton Melnikov was passing the obstacles with his Nissan Pathfinder, a Super Production category.
