Chivchyan George Biography

Competitions in America and Japan to curtail a person who connected his life with motorsport in childhood. Also, his elder brother Vladimir and father had a great influence on him. But the question? What is drift and what is this kind of car? What is drift? Drift - the technique of passing turns and the type of motorsport, characterized by the use of a controlled skid on the most possible to keep on the highway and angle to the trajectory.

Competitions are held on asphalt, ice, tracks with a large number of turns. Also, the type of motorsport, based on the entertainment of turning turns in skidding. Basically used cars with rear -wheel drive. In the European and American regions, drift cars based on BMW 3 models are widespread, as well as projects based on American cars: Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper, Ford Mustang. Also possible alterations of a full -wheel drive car to the rear -wheel drive.

Initially, the drift as a sport appeared in Japan.

Since drifting began development at once in several cities of Japan, the exact place of his birth cannot be determined. In the history of the origin of drift, such mountain passes as Herohazaka, Roccosan, Hakon and all possible hilly roads in Nagano are known. Modern drift, like most professional races, was carried out illegally during its origin. The races took place on winding suburban roads, which were called TOGE.

The most enthusiastic enthusiasts were called "Rolling Zoku", they were competing on the toge. Initially, the skid was not a mandatory part of the toge, but, mainly from the videos of the rally, the riders realized that on a narrow and winding road, turning in controlled sliding is the fastest. Toge races are divided into two parts: Uphill and Downhill.

Outgoing is almost not possible on such narrow routes, so the races are a persecution in which the leader’s goal is to increase the initial distance between the machines to the finish line, and the pursuer is to reduce it. In places where the width of the road allows you to build 2 cars in a row at the start, the races pass according to classical rules. The complicated version of the TOGE is a “tape race”, where one hand of the driver is tied to the steering wheel.

Part of Rolling Zoku began to use the technical techniques of driving rally, the methods of passing turns quickly and without loss of inertia. Using the rally technique of passage of turns, the drivers on the TOGE began to notice that the level of ownership of the machine and the passage time improved, while the race became more intense. It was on toge that the drift originated.

Georgy Chivchan began to get carried away with cars and races from childhood, the elder brother Vladimir had a great influence on this, as he was fond of sports cars and the sale of auto parts. His father traded in car spare parts and George was all the time nearby, helped both with sale and repair. According to George, he studied drift at the age of 16, rolling at night on snowy roads by car of his brother.

One way or another, in the year, the development of enthusiasm for cars resulted in the acquisition of the Nissan Silvia S15 yellow color from the Japanese auction. The machine was equipped with a differential lock and HKS racks, a body body kit. According to George, this is the first Silvia in Krasnoyarsk, it was driven out of Japan and was originally used as a city car, but driving on the almost factory version became boring and improvements were not long in coming.

This acquaintance has become fateful for the Krasnoyarsk drift. At first for George it was a hobby: at night he chose a platform where he could drift. I enjoyed it. After that, Chivchyan decided to organize the drift competitions in order to attract more people to this sport. Together with Arkady Tsaregradtsev - the director of the Red Ring race track, they began to hold competitions.

Initially, George was a judge of the competition, since in Krasnoyarsk at that time no one could compete with him, after the drift level of the Krasnoyarsk pilots increased significantly, he began to take part as an athlete. After a year, George realized that he had to focus on a drift and left the ring racing. Initially, the attitude of relatives towards enthusiasm for drift was not entirely clear-they doubted whether he needed it, but then they humbled themselves and realized that he could no longer tear him off.

From the year, when the level of Krasnoyarsk drifters increased, drift competitions in Krasnoyarsk have gained a new look and began to be held on the new Red Ring racing highway. From the very first stages, and still, in any competition, George is considered one of the main favorites. Since then, “Gocha” has been considered the strongest drift in Russia that he proves throughout his career not only in Siberia, but also in the western part of Russia.In the year, the first trip to the west of Russia took place to participate in the RDS West competition, but George managed to take part only in 2 stages, unfortunately, because of a little different styles, he could not take prizes, also complicated the adaptation that he came from his region, the rest began to be pulled after-Arkady Tsaregrad, Dmitry Yermokhin, Evgeny Losev, Damiri, Damir Idiyatulin.

But since the year, Goch began to show everyone that he was the strongest drift in Russia and the more he traveled, the higher his place in the general ranking. So in the year for the first time taking part with the Western pilots in all stages of the series, he won with a huge margin. It also turned out that in Japan everything is not as simple as in Russia, they can’t ride cars prepared for races around the city, and the tow truck should be called in advance - about a week.

You also need to agree on the disposal of the spent tires in advance, but despite all the difficulties, George spoke with dignity and the Japanese were pleasantly surprised by the level of the Russian drifter. Since then, George has been trying every year to go to the final races to the country of the founders of the drift. In the year, George took part in the first stage of Formula Drift in the United States at the rented Nissan Silvia S15 with the LS series, in addition to racing, George loves snowboarding, kaitesurfing, loves hunting and fishing, but he has to refuse a lot of time and takes a lot of effort.

He is a co -owner of the Forward Auto, a motorsport helps to understand which spare parts need to be sold. It is possible to work directly with the factories and develop something new for tuning cars with them-a pendant, levers, cooling. Personally traveling to factories in Taiwan and Japan. In addition to the foundation at the Forward Auto company, Georgy Chivchyan is the director of the Virazh store.

In his youth, he was fond of music, in particular, he was a DJ and vocalist of the Krasnoyarsk group “Course Project” in the life of George a modest and calm person, does not like to speak on camera and give interviews, although he can do this well. He never sought to become a star, but he really likes that his activity brings great joy to people.
