This year participants from Vladivostok, Siberia, the Urals, from Kaliningrad, from the south of Russia and from the central part of the country came to the autodrome to meet old friends and make new ones, share stories of work on their track and surprise the guests of the truck festival.

This year the festival was dedicated to creation of a new alliance "Drivers of Russia". Under the alliance, representatives of small and large haulers from all parts of the country will work together to protect the interests, mutual assistance and development of hauliers.

Festival participants could also take part in a table hockey competition.

For participants with their families the festival created a large play area with trampolines, shooting gallery and a mini driving range. There were also chocolate master classes and games in English for children. But the highlight of attractions for children was the program "Children's trucker": 200 young participants aged from five months to 16 years old took a ride on real trucks of European and domestic brands.
