DEIKIN RACING – silver medalists of the WORLD RALLY RAID CUP!

The crew of #700 DEIKIN RACING - Maksim Deikin and Kirill Izotov – became the winner of the DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BAJA 2025 World Rally Raid Cup, taking 2nd place on the podium of the championship. 400 racing kilometers were covered – prologue, stage 1 and stage 2. The races were held on November 21-23 in the UAE, and brought together almost a hundred award-winning athletes from all over the world. Famous crews took to the start line to demonstrate their professionalism in conquering desert tracks.

It is worth noting that the entire podium of the championship – the TOP 5 - was occupied by the crews of the BIG RED RACING racing team, under the auspices of which DEIKIN RACING acts, respectively.

DEIKIN RACING fought for victory on the new MAVERICK R 2026, fully reinforced and retrofitted with components and homologated components from DEIKIN RACING: levers, safety frame, additional equipment for pilots, etc.

The DEIKIN RACING crew opened the World Rally Cup by starting first on the 5 km prologue among the entire peloton. According to the organizers of DIB, the start of DEIKIN RACING was a real bid for victory: "We saw determination and power!" Moreover, on the very first kilometer of the track, the crew's rear wheel failed, but they finished! The first ones! "Prologues are always full of adventures with us. This is already the norm, and even the "corporate identity". If there are surprises, then everything will go according to plan," said navigator Kirill Izotov.

At the first stage of Stage 1 (193 km), DEIKIN RACING became the winners. Excellent pace, confident passage of desert sectors. But even here it was not without force majeure: due to a box error, the crew had to stop three times. On the second stage of Stage 2 (195 km), a face-to-face fight with the crew of Sergey Karjakin and Anton Vlasyuk unfolded. This made the race even more exciting. DEIKIN RACING went first for half of the stage, but by the end of the track they lost ground.

"The car worked amazingly. The pendant behaved great. We have noticeably accelerated, the pace has increased! We had a great race in the second stage! It was driving!", – pilot Maksim Deikin's comment.

The desert has become a test of endurance for the crew and for the equipment. The unpredictable terrain with dunes, depressions, sharp ridges and treacherous high-speed sections made the race unique. The two days of racing took place in the same area, but the route was different. On the second day, the crews were traveling in the opposite direction.

In terms of pure time, DEIKIN RACING is the first, but according to the results of all calculations, taking into account the Stage 2 penalty, the second place was won on the podium of the DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BAJA World Rally Cup championship. Another world race that has gone down in the history of the DEIKIN RACING brand!
