FreeChallenge - War stereotypes

One of the areas of street racing - the Challenge. Classic Challenge - a trip to the time from point A to point B and play the Challenge - it is the same competition with a spicy sauce of passion, shrewdness, games and unexpected solutions. The idea of ??establishing the club FreeChallenge appeared in late 2004, when the niche entertainment Challenge was still empty at that time there were only classic race in the city and the makings of a game. So the idea of ??playing the Challenge organizers FreeChallenge developed from scratch. The creation of this autoclub given a chance to even the most ordinary, non-sports cars to participate in this night race through the city and get a chance to win on a par with the expensive and powerful machines, because in this competition is more important than savvy and well-organized team, not the amount of horsepower under the hood and the presence of navigator laptop. Challenge runs as follows: in the parking lot near the metro station Kashirskaya going organizers, participants and spectators, waiting for the other teams are registered, socialize, dance, and sometimes held a small competition. The team must consist of at least two people - a pilot and navigator, on request we can take friends who always come in handy when performing tasks. Then instruct navigators, during which they explain some of the points race, warn of potential dangers, and drawing lots to distribute, in what sequence will be started. For each team time overreach separately so you can start to be in order. Team issued piece of paper with "legend" in which written riddles, charades and assignments. They will meet and come first to the finish. Over time, these events were called in honor of the club - «freechallenge», the name became a household word, and, of course, began to appear similar clubs, which also began to arrange the race game. The name was given the club good reason: the word «free» means love of freedom, the freedom given to both parties during the execution of tasks, and organizers at the time of their invention, and together they embody the most audacious ideas. Of the five founders FreeChallenge in the club there are only three people - Dennis (Den) and Maxim (Istrebitel), and one of them, Sergei (Bun2k), turned into party as close took up drag racing. Since the end of the 2006 season, the organization of the club races joined by members of one team (Inferno), which was a permanent member of the Challenge. The first undertaking in the bottom FreeChallenge tried to implement as part of another club - Urteam (one of the biggest clubs in Moscow at the moment), but there is this idea did not go because of the authoritarian regime of his organization and the lack of the necessary freedom, so the "pup" of this club called FreeShallenge impossible. The first races were held in the spring of 2005, every race known as "cage speed. In the very first game was attended by 4 Challenge team, he impressed the organizers - the satisfaction of the first event held, fatigue after many hours of training, although the tasks were simple, the participants received a lot of fun trying the unknown to take part in the race entirely new format. Advertise your club in the forums on the Internet and through other spam organizers did not want their idea was meeting friends of the club - an invitation to the new teams came through word of mouth from friend to friend, so by the end of the first season of the number of teams increased to 12 ( good indicator for autoclub those times). The first season proved - FreeChallenge will live! The second season (spring - autumn 2006) has brought many new acquaintances, FreeChallenge cemented their status among the car clubs of Moscow, the participants became more and more jobs is becoming more alive and treacherous character. Regular participants were not only rivals to each other, but also began to communicate with the same interests, the organizers arranged "club" trips to drag racing to friendly clubs and on the nature of barbecue, somehow, even with parachute. Method of preparation of the cells themselves speed changing, the organizers have learned from their mistakes, maneuvered between morality and unacceptable for normal people jobs. Increased number of women behind the wheel, and women's teams, but it also required a different approach. All ideas and complaints are always dealt with, any participant could complain about this or that action, and to do it directly, say in the face of the organizers and immediately get the answer - it is one of the most important of their points, to listen and hear comments and suggestions. So quietly FreeChallenge firmly on its feet and established its policy. The third season (spring - autumn 2007) was rolled by the scheme, of course, not without innovation. For example, the organizers of the club have made it possible permanent members themselves to arrange the race - this is useful for participants who are on their own experience can be sure to come up and prepare Challenge to everyone happy, is not as easy as it seems. For the organizers it is also an important experience - they can visit in the skin of the participants, take note of some nuances. Changed and fleet commands - before there were many participants in the domestic machines, sometimes even wreck, but now foreign cars account for 90% of parking. Frequent guests at the collection site FreeChallenge and luxury foreign cars, and tuned dragsters who come to look at others and be seen. In the 2007 season the club began to engage in corporate gaming Challenge, register your own legal entity with these goals. One of his clients was the company MIRAX Group - Witnesses say that race was fun to watch as the bosses compete with their subordinates, driving at night on the town and doing a fabulous job. On assignments to write separately - imagine that you have in your possession is a group of people willing to virtually all to win, but you need to figure out what they should do. Fantasy organizers FreeChallenge running at full speed - to give the night a bouquet of dandelions traffic cop, play cards on the roof of a trolley bus, eat a jar of cat food, pull the condom on his head, sit in the monkey, to bring the girl in the trunk, get a bouquet of flowers under a stream of Karcher, play an impromptu wedding around the registry office, shouting in the street: "I - Superman!" bathe in the fountain in the center of Moscow, to become a blonde, with their bare hands to dig out of the earth worm, solve logic puzzles to get to the desired location - just a small part of the ideas. An important prerequisite for participation in races FreeShallenge is compliance with safety measures, so the Challenge held in seasons. To those clubs who arrange play the race during the winter, endangering their teams and other road users, FreeChallenge is very negative. And the concern of parents can be answered by the fact that their children instead of pyanok and addiction on a Friday night prefer fun behind the wheel - during the existence of the club has not witnessed the accident that resulted in the harm to human health.
