A new twist has emerged in the story of the supercar race in Tashkent, proposed by Russian blogger Askhad Tamaev. It seems the $1 million prize might not materialize. Uzbek millionaire Sanjar Karimov, who accepted Tamaev’s challenge and even purchased the fastest Nissan GT-R in Europe for the race, declared that “this is not a bazaar” and if the Russian wants to race, he should come to our country without additional conditions. We are now waiting for Tamaev’s response.
“Askhad, what’s with this unserious attitude towards my proposal? 500 grand is at stake [500 thousand dollars]. We are not in a bazaar. We are not playing for bets. What does this mean? Raising the stakes? You were looking for a car in Uzbekistan, we offered you a car for the race. So what now? Why are you doing this? We want to race. Let us know when you can race and when you can come. We are ready,” Karimov said.
Background of the Issue
Recently, 23-year-old Russian blogger Askhad Tamaev challenged all Uzbeks – whoever beats him in a race would receive a unique Rolls Royce worth $1.6 million as a prize.
This challenge was accepted by famous Uzbek millionaire and car enthusiast Sanjar Karimov. He not only bought the fastest Nissan GT-R in Europe but also proposed putting $500,000 on the line for each participant.
In response, Tamaev accepted these terms and suggested raising the prize to $1 million.
Another racer from Uzbekistan, blogger and “Tashkent’s main gearhead” Gonzo G, also joined the story. He announced that he accepts Tamaev’s challenge and is ready to bet his BMW M3 Competition Touring.
Additionally, renowned capital lawyer Sherzod Egamberdiev suggested that all participants of the race sign a contract to ensure that after losing, neither side could back out and refuse to pay under various pretexts.
