The sports season in 1950 one of the GAZ-C1 (N11) appeared in the sports club Torpedo Gorky. Two other "car" Torpedovtsev (N20 and N27) as well dressed art of other participants - at the bottom of the roof were cut, fixed rear doors and windows. But still, they were homemade, not collected under ideal conditions.
The best of the forty-three crews was a test of GAZ Michael Metelev (Torpedo-GAS) on the "Pobeda-Sports" N 11. He established a new set-union speed records at distances of 50, 100 and 300 km, respectively, 159.929 km / h 161.211 km / h and 145.858 km / hour.
But this work is not over! Smolin all projects brought to the end to a perfect, perfect, from his point of view, the state.
In 1951, three vehicles were equipped with rotary blowers "Rutz," two carburetors replaced by one, but two-chamber - K-22. Thus the maximum power increased to 105 hp, and speed - up to 190 km / h!
Another car in the same 1951, was equipped with an experimental four-cylinder 2.5-liter engine with an aluminum U.S. cylinder head designed for the compression ratio 9.5, the upper and lower intake exhaust valves, two serial carburetors mounted on the intake manifold ( U.S. design). Power of the engine was already 94 hp at 4000 rev / min. but top speed has increased by only 2 km / m - up to 164 km / h.
In this same year, AA Smolin began work on a more promising vehicle SG2, so that it can be assumed that the installation of different engines - only one step in working out the construction of a new car, no longer tied to the serial chassis.
In 1952, with the only remaining "family" Pobeda Motor-Sport was equipped with an experimental unit head with two spark plugs per cylinder. Compression ratio was raised to 7.4, but increase the power never came. And in 1955 came an open version of the C1 engine GAZ-21.
In total, the machines "Pobeda-Sports" won three championships of the USSR (1950, 1955 and 1956.). This was the first truly successful domestic sports car. However, it is not surprising - after all, it designed the aviainzhener. In addition, the experience gained in the creation of a GAZ-C1, was not in vain, but useful when creating Smolin already in 1951, GAZ-Torpedo (SG2), and later - CF3 (a jet engine MiG-17), and SG4.
