Ivan Peklin (Ukrainian: Іван Пеклін; born 23 October 2001) is a Ukrainian racing driver currently competing for GT Sports Technology in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Central Europe.
Career
Peklin began karting at the age of eleven.[1] He won the Ukrainian Karting Championship twice: in the Bezkorobka Junior class in 2015 and in KZ2 in 2017.[2][3] Internationally, he represented Ukraine in the 2016 Karting Academy Trophy and competed for Maranello Kart and Birel ART in the KZ2 class during his final year of karting in 2018.[4]
After losing a fully-paid seat for the 2020 F4 British Championship to Marijn Kremers in the 2019 FEED Racing Program,[5] Peklin made his single-seater debut with Xcel Motorsport in the Formula 4 UAE Championship trophy round in late 2019.[6] He finished seventh in the only race he contested,[7] and also competed in the final round of the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship at Sepang, achieving a best result of sixth in race one.[8]
In 2020, Peklin competed in the French F4 Championship run by the FFSA Academy for his first full season in single-seaters.[9] He scored his maiden podium in race two at Nogaro.[10] In the next round at Magny-Cours, he became the first Ukrainian to win a single-seater race by taking victory in race two.[11] Peklin struggled to maintain this form in the remaining rounds, with a best finish of seventh and ended the season 10th in the standings.[12]
Peklin moved to International GT Open in 2021, joining Team Lazarus alongside Jordan Pepper.[13] The duo won the season opener at Le Castellet and finished fifth in race two.[14][15] Lazarus withdrew from the series after this round, leaving Peklin sidelined.[16]
In late 2021, Peklin made a one-off appearance in the Italian GT Sprint Championship and was set to contest the 2022 ADAC GT4 Germany season, but the campaign was delayed due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[17] He eventually debuted at the season finale at Hockenheimring for PROsport Racing,[18] and also represented Ukraine in the 2022 FIA Motorsport Games GT discipline.[19][20]
In 2023, Peklin joined Seyffarth Motorsport in the GTC Race series, taking a lone GT4 class win at Oschersleben to finish seventh in the standings.[21][22] He also made a one-off appearance in TCR Europe at Monza,[23] finishing ninth and 14th in his two races,[24] but did not participate in the following round at Barcelona despite appearing on the entry list.[25]
In 2024, Peklin returned to the GTC Race series with Land-Motorsport, driving an Audi R8 LMS GT3.[26] He won at Spa and finished second in the Semi-pro standings.[27] He also represented Ukraine in the FIA Motorsport Games GT discipline, finishing sixth despite an early-race spin.[28][29]
