From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kubok Obschestva Velosipednoy Ezdy(Bicycle Ride Society Cup) or Gonka Motorov(Race of engines) was a Grand Prix motor race held in Russian Empire on October 11, 1898.
The first motor race in Russia had begun outside of Saint Petersburg near the Alexandrovskaya railway station. Drivers reached Strelna and then went back to Aleksandrovo for a total distance of 41 kilometres (25 mi). It was difficult to drive that day, because the road was covered with snow.
