Timur Irekovich Boguslavskiy (Russian:Тиму́р И́рекович Богусла́вский) (born 30 April 2000) is a professional racing driver fromRussia, currently competing inGT World Challenge Europe withAKKA ASP. Driving aMercedes-AMG GT3, Boguslavskiy won the overall series championship in 2020 and 2023.
Boguslavskiy began his career in 2015 in the Winter Rotax Max Kazan.[1][2] He also raced in Russian Automobile Federation Rallycross Cup,[3] Russian Rallycross Championship,[4] Canyon Cup[5] and Winter Canyon Cup (circuit racing series inTatarstan),[6] Tatarstan Circuit Racing Championship and Tatarstan Circuit Racing Cup,[1]Russian Circuit Racing Series prior to his move to Europe.[7] There, he would compete in the Seat Ibiza Cup Italia,[8] Radical Middle East Cup,[9][10]Renault Clio Cup Italia,[11][12]European Le Mans Series,[13][14] andLamborghini Super Trofeo Europe.[15]
In 2019, Boguslavskiy would turn his attention towards theBlancpain GT Series Endurance Cup, driving aMercedes-AMG GT3 for the AKKA ASP Team in the Silver Cup category.[16] PartneringNico Bastian andFelipe Fraga, the Russian would experience a dominant campaign in-class, taking three victories along with two further podiums on his way towards the title, which the team clinched during the penultimate round at the24 Hours of Spa.[17]
The following year saw Boguslavskiy continue to race in the now renamedGT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, entering the Pro class with Fraga andRaffaele Marciello at AKKA ASP, whilst expanding his duties towards theGT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, racing alongside Marciello.[18] During a season heavily disrupted by theCOVID-19 pandemic, Boguslavskiy and his team would end up fifth in the Endurance Cup, having taken a pair of podiums at the start of the year before seeing their title hopes dissipate owing to a brake issue at the24 Hours of Spa.[19] In the Sprint Cup, six podiums, including two wins, enabled Boguslavskiy to fight for the championship, though he would eventually finish in second place, four points behindDries Vanthoor andCharles Weerts.

Boguslavskiy began to focus on theSprint Cup from 2021 onwards, teaming up with Marciello. The duo failed to win a race that year, though four podiums eventually resulted in a third place finish in the standings. During the2022 Sprint Cup season, Boguslavskiy and Marciello managed to win three races despite the dominance shown byTeam WRT duoDries Vanthoor andCharles Weerts, taking another runner-up placing overall.
For 2023, Boguslavskiy returned to theEndurance Cup on a full-time basis, partnering previous year's champions Marciello andJules Gounon. A chaotic season opener atMonza saw a premature end to AKKodis's race, as Boguslavskiy picked up race-ending damage during a misjudged defensive manoeuvre onChristopher Mies.[20] Boguslavskiy made up for his error with a solid stint during theLe Castellet event, returning his car in fourth position before Marciello charged through to take victory.[21][22] Another clean race, this time at the24 Hours of Spa, yielded second place, before the Mercedes trio took a victory inGermany, having started from pole position.[23][24][25] The team would clinch the title during the final round atBarcelona by finishing fifth, with Boguslavskiy keeping himself in third, ahead of Ferrari'sDavide Rigon, during his entire stint.[26][27] Following the campaign's conclusion, team managerJérôme Policand stated that the 2023 title win meant more than the previous year's, given that Silver-ranked Boguslavskiy's presence in place of Mercedes-AMG factory driverDaniel Juncadella forced the team to operate on a higher level.[28]
The duo of Boguslavskiy and Marciello began theirSprint Cup season well, winning two of the opening four races as a result of two poles and dominating opening stints from the Swiss driver, with Boguslavskiy keeping the lead during the final stages of race 1 atBrands Hatch andMisano respectively.[29][30] Despite a retirement in the first race at theHockenheimring, the duo would win race two, as the Russian managed gear-shifting issues to keep rival Lucas Légeret seven seconds behind him by the checkered flag.[31] Marciello took another pole inValencia and drove to an early lead, before Boguslavskiy took over and narrowly won ahead ofAlbert Costa, having lost half a dozen seconds to the Spaniard in the closing laps.[32] This however would not be enough to take the title, with a collision caused by Audi'sLorenzo Patrese ending the team's final race atZandvoort, therefore crowning the Tresor Orange1 outfit as champions.[33]

With theLMGT3 class replacing the LMGTE category in theFIA World Endurance Championship, Boguslavskiy would move to the WEC for the 2024 season, driving aLexus RC F GT3 for Akkodis ASP alongsideKelvin van der Linde and bronze driver Arnold Robin.[34] However, the start of the year proved to be a struggle, as a retirement inQatar was followed by a 14th place inImola. The Russian then missed theSpa event due to fever, before returning to finish seventh in class atLe Mans.[35][36] A few weeks later, Boguslavskiy left the team permanently, citing his focus on "new challenges" as his reason.[37]
In 2025, Boguslavskiy returned to theFIA World Endurance Championship, joiningTeam WRT, alongsideYasser Shahin andAugusto Farfus.
