Dubai 24H — done 🏁
Endurance is not about comfort.
It’s about who refuses to quit.
🛠️Early crash. –1 hour for repairing…
💤 No sleep.
🏎️🤓 Racing and coaching two drivers through the night. Car, radio — nonstop.
🛞4H driving time at night = 10 laps back.
🏆P2 in TCE class in the end.
⏱️Absolute class lap record.
Dreams become truth ✨ When I was a kid and started racing I dreamed about small goals on a regional level like a take first point, when it happened the goals became more difficult ➖first podium➖first win and so on.
When I achieved it I set the new dream - to take a cup from international the highest level competition and I didn’t even imagine that can be a car race on a beautiful Porsche @porsche@porsche.customerracing
But on 3.09.2023 it happened. I still can’t believe in this and I m full of emotions and enthusiasm after it. So it’s time to create the news goals in this lifetime loop. ➿
It wouldn’t have ever happened without support of my Love 💕@victoria.effy 💕

Согласны?
Серебро на 24-часовой гонке в Дубае! 🏆🏁
Всего несколько дней назад мы вместе с вами наблюдали за стартом первой международной гонки серии Michelin 24H Series этого сезона – и уже сегодня подводим невероятные итоги. Серебро в классе TCE и абсолютный рекорд круга класса в исполнении нашего амбассадора Ивана Екельчика.
Это была настоящая гонка на выносливость: сутки без остановки, смена пилотов, ночные отрезки, раскалённые тормоза и постоянная работа на пределе – а также огромное количество ярких кадров из солнечного Дубая, наполненных атмосферой этого уикенда. 🤩📸
Отличный старт сезона – поддержим этот подиум реакциями? 📲💙
2016.
Coaching kids.
Won some races.
First time on the track with BMW Russia promotion.
Was being the part of the best Russian Rotax Grand final team so far.
Feels like yesterday.
That’s where it all started.

Why do the best results in racing and real estate never happen by accident?
In this episode of MERED Talks, our host Harley Jenner is joined by two guests from seemingly different worlds — Ivan Ekelchik, a professional GT3 racing driver sponsored by MERED, and Bogdan Maximov, MERED’s Project Director — to uncover what elite motorsport and high-end real estate development have in common.
From racetracks to construction sites, performance is never left to chance. This conversation explores how engineering, discipline, precision, and passion shape success — whether you’re building a race-winning car or a landmark tower like ICONIC Residences Design by Pininfarina.
🎧 Hit play to discover:
• How discipline, preparation, and recovery define success in motorsport, and in life
• What connects engineering in motorsport and property development
• Why results are determined by mindset

• Which brands in both industries truly represent quality and performance
🎥 Watch the full episode to see why winning, on the track or in development, is always engineered, never accidental.
