DEIKIN RACING became the winners of the First Stage of the Wild Tulip Russian Rally Cup in Elista, Kalmykia. The crew of 201 – Maksim Deikin and Kirill Izotov – confidently declared themselves in the new 2026 season, demonstrating absolute superiority on all special stages. 16 of the country's strongest crews took part in the N2 category.
The steppe terrain and 500 km of the expressway became a new challenge for the DEIKIN RACING team and components, in particular, tests of the braking system, or rather its final version, continued during the cup race.
"There was not a single technical hitch, not a single second of doubt about the operation of the MAVERICK R combat vehicle. It's a great high-speed track, which allowed us to focus on navigation and improve our piloting skills at consistently high speeds. The braking system has been successfully tested, and the plan is to launch mass production. Nothing distracted from the tasks, the weather was great," commented Maksim Deikin, founder of DEIKIN RACING, pilot.

The pilots also noted the excellent condition of the champion car, which was in operation for the entire 2025 season and is ready to perform well in 2026. "All the partners have also joined us for the new season, thereby expressing confidence in the brand and the team. We appreciate their support, in particular, ROLF MOTOR OIL for keeping the equipment in an efficient condition under extreme loads and in different temperature conditions. On POWER WHEELS discs specially designed for us, we conquered rally raid tracks with multi-format coverage. We would like to thank MPS PARTS for the prompt delivery of equipment, and MOTOREFORMA for high–quality spare parts," Maksim Deikin added.
