In 2004, Oleg Kesselman became the first Russian racer to participate in the Porsche Carrera Cup and the Porsche Supercup (Monaco). Oleg finished in the points in half of the season's races -- a pretty good result for a debut in the Cup.

Molitor Racing Systems (M.R.S.) was Kesselman's German partner. The Russian YARPIVO brand was his general sponsor.

Oleg's international career began with the Deutsche Tourenwagen Challenge. Within a year he led his team to 18th place overall (out of 200 teams) and 4th in the A6 class in the famous 24 Hours of Nurburgring race. In the end of the 2002 season Oleg made his first European podium, placing 3rd overall in the 100 Miles for the Swiss Auto Club Prix (FRS) race.

In 2003, Kesselman drove a Porsche 911 GT3Cup in all stages of the BFGoodrich Langstrecken championship, winning one race and getting three 2nd places. In the end of the season he won the Eifelrennen 24-h Special 100 km and participated in the final stage of the Porsche Carrera Cup.

The 2004 season was a good entry year into the Porsche Cup. Oleg plans to return to the series next year -- his goal will be steadily finishing in the top ten.

Participation in prestigious European championships gives Kesselman Motorsport three additional advantages:

1. Develops the professional skills of Russian racing engineers and mechanics

2. Promotes international car racing among the Russian audience

3. Provides a theoretical base for using car racing as a sports marketing tool

Increasing awareness about car racing and encouraging the application of sports marketing principles to car racing in Russia are important goals for Kesselman Motorsport. With this in mind, in 2005 we plan to publish a series of books in Russian on professional driving, automotive tuning and sports marketing.
