Pure Rxcing

Having worked as a mechanic and engineer in motorsport for several years, Edgar Kochanovskij formed his own racing team, Pure Rxcing, in late 2022.^[2] The team made its competitive debut in the 2022–23 Middle East Trophy at the 2023 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi.^[1]

In 2023, Pure Rxcing entered the GT World Challenge Europe fielding the No. 911 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) with support from German squad Herberth Motorsport in the Bronze Cup class. Alex Malykhin would serve as the team's bronze-graded driver, being joined by Ayhancan Güven for the Sprint Cup, Klaus Bachler and Joel Sturm in the Endurance Cup and Marco Seefried for the 24 Hours of Spa.^[3][4][5][6] The team would win twice, including their debut race at Monza, and Malykhin was crowned Bronze Cup champion.

Pure Rxcing returned to the Endurance Cup in 2024 with an unchanged car and lineup, but would instead take on the Pro class, with Kochanovskij stating they had "nothing more to achieve" in Bronze.^[7][2]

For the winter campaign following its maiden season, Pure Rxcing pursued the Asian Le Mans Series, continuing the collaboration with Herberth and Porsche.^[8][9] Bachler, Malykhin and Sturm had a successful season with two wins and three podiums, which ultimately gave them the championship ahead of Triple Eight JMR by two points.

In the wake of his FIA WEC successes, Alex Malykhin was upgraded from bronze to silver rating by the FIA, which led Pure Rxcing to switch focus to LMP2.^[10] The team partnered up with TF Sport for a go at the Asian Le Mans Series, fielding the No. 91 Oreca 07 for Malykhin, Louis Delétraz and Harry King.^[11]

In January of 2024, the team announced that they would compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship's new LMGT3 class.^[1] Pure Rxcing would field the No. 92 Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) with technical support from Manthey Racing, signing usual trio Klaus Bachler, Alex Malykhin, and Joel Sturm to drive the car for the full season.^[12] Pure Rxcing would have a historic season with two wins and six podiums to win the championship in their debut season.
