Andrey Pesegov
Drift legend · Russia
The BlackLord R32, rebuilt from 2JZ to GT-R and then VQ37VHR power.
A Moscow bridge engineer known as the King of Furidashi and the Black Lord, Andrey Pesegov won the 2014 RDS West title in a Nissan Skyline R32 that he has rebuilt around three different engines.
Pesegov is a Moscow engineer who designs transport interchanges and bridges, and says that helps him design and scan parts for his drift car. He drives for Tuning Factory, a Moscow tuning shop and drift team that Backside.TV calls the oldest team in RDS, and is nicknamed the King of Furidashi and the Black Lord.
He clinched the 2014 RDS West title at the Nizhny Novgorod Ring without even reaching the final, because his lead was large enough to survive a lost top 32 duel; the runner-up was Kristaps Blushs of Latvia. As defending champion he won stage 5 at Myachkovo in 2015, beating Satyukov twice in the final after repairing a suspension broken in contact, and finished second in the season.
His R32 began with a 2JZ-GTE, was rebuilt around a GT-R engine for the 2018 RDS GP season, and was reworked again in 2020 with a VQ37VHR as the BlackLord R32. He won the Cup of Champions team award in 2017 with Tuning Factory and AIMOL, took bronze at the 2019 Belarus championship, and continues to race and document his builds.
