Yota Drive 2014

Admit it, do you also sometimes want to fall into childhood and play with radio-controlled toys? There is something about them that attracts people of all ages. So the St. Petersburg bloggers from the spbblog community, each of whom is a little child at heart, decided to arrange races on radio-controlled cars. And not just to drive, but to arrange a whole event out of this - a big tournament for the whole day!

The tournament was called Yota Drive and was held with the support of Yota, a 4G Internet operator, which recently launched as a federal mobile operator with beautiful numbers +7-999-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ and unlimited Internet. Well, the word DRIVE in the name of the event, as it turned out, was 100% justified, the process of managing fast models left no one indifferent! The sea of smiles, positivity and pleasure was a constant companion of Yota Drive participants!

Tatyana from UGIX-ON, one of the partners of the tournament, filmed an excellent and revealing video about the event on a QStar DVR:

Let's see how it looks in the photos!
