The Russian Automobile Federation (RAF) () is an FIA-affiliated association of motorists based in Russia founded in 1991.
History On 11 December 1992, the FIA General Assembly accepted the RAF as a member of the FIA and granted the RAF the right to exercise sports power throughout the national territory of the Russian Federation.
Victor Kiryanov served as President of the RAF from 2003 to 2024. Boris Rotenberg was elected as his successor in May 2024.
Use as a representative nationality
Beginning in 2021, Russian motorsport competitors are designated as representatives of the RAF after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the ban on Russia, barring it from competing under its flag in international sporting events following the doping scandal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The following entrants were listed as RAF competitors while they were banned from representing Russia. +EntrantTypeYearsNotesRef.Formula OneNikita MazepinDriver2021 #9 Haas F1 TeamFIA World Endurance ChampionshipG-Drive RacingTeam 2021–2022Roman RusinovDriver2021Sergey SirotkinDriver (reserve entry)Daniil KvyatDriver 2022World Rally Championship-2Nikolay GryazinDriver2021Toksport WRT 2Konstantin AleksandrovCo-driverDakar RallyQuadsChyr Mari Team2022 #193 Yamaha YFM 700RAleksandr MaksimovDriverCarsVRT TeamTeam2022 #208 BMW X5Vladimir VasilyevDriverMSK Rally TeamTeam #216 Mini John Cooper Works BuggyDenis KrotovDriverKonstantin ZhiltsovCo-driverAlexey KuzmichCo-driver #218 X-raid–Mini John Cooper Works BuggyLight PrototypesMSK Rally TeamTeam2022 #312 Can-Am MaverickPavel LebedevDriverKirill ShubinCo-driverBoris GadasinDriver #315 G-Force Motorsport – G-Force T3GFDmitry PavlovCo-driverAndrey NovikovDriver #320 G-Force Motorsport – G-Force T3GFDmitrii KozhukhovCo-driverTeam Maria OparinaTeam #323 Can-Am Maverick X3Maria OparinaDriverLight Prototypes (SSV)Xesha MotorsportTeam2022 #465 BRP Maverick X3Tatiana SychevaDriverAleksandr AlekseevCo-driverTrucksKamaz-MasterTeam2022Dmitry SotnikovDriver #500 Kamaz K5 435091Ruslan AkhmadeevCo-driverIlgiz AkhmetzianovTechnicianAnton ShibalovDriver #501 Kamaz 43509Dmitrii NikitinCo-driverIvan TatarinovTechnicianEduard NikolaevDriver #505 Kamaz K5 435091Evgenii IakovlevCo-driverVladimir RybakovTechnicianAndrey KarginovDriver #509 Kamaz 43509Andrey MokeevCo-driverIvan MalkovTechnician
