Despite the young years, Vyacheslav in 2023 already managed to become the vice-champion of the Asian series Le-Man and win the title in the Ultimate Cup series.

Here is what Rusinov himself told us: “Already during the debut on the daily marathon in Dubai, Rossa LM GT showed an impressive speed by winning the qualifications. After that, we conducted an extensive test program of the new machine. Now the development of the car enters the final stage. ”

Vyacheslav Gutat had already held tests and was satisfied with the car. “I am impressed by the manageability of Ross and its aerodynamic efficiency,” he commented.

The Ross crew will perform in the Ultimate CUP series in the GT3 class – for Rusinov, the ability to compare your sports car with the technique of this category from authoritative automakers is important for Rusinov. In this case, these will surely be Ferrari 488 GT3 EVO, Mercedes-AMG GT3 and Renault RS 01 GT3.

The racer is going to continue performances at the remaining stages of Ultimate Cup. It is also looking for the opportunity to put his car in the GT2 category – this version of the Federal Medical Education has already been developed, and it is on it that Rusinov makes the main bet. This modification is intended for a gentleman-drivers and is characterized by a higher power, reduced clamping strength and less powerful brakes.

“A sports car for the GT3 class needs to be homolog for four years. This is a complex procedure, after which practically nothing can be changed in the design of the machine. Prior to this, in the context of real races, we would like to compare the dew with other GT3 vehicles in order to be able to make the necessary changes before the start of the homologation procedure, ”the Rusinov situation explained.
