Sergey read each article related to motor racing that were published in ‘Za Rulem’ magazine that at that time was the only magazine in the country devoted to this topic. He also knew the names of all Formula-1 pilots and rally participants. However Sergey himself joined the high-scale motor sport much later. Sergey’s youth concurred with the Perestroika era. The collapse of the USSR and the shocking 90s followed. Sergey Shalunov became an efficient manager and successful businessman. Sergey participated in traditional rally in Chuvashia, and became the winner as per the general and team ratings. But his main job was preventing him from doing motor sport at a serious level. Anyway, thanks to his friends, Sergey participated in the Russian Circuit Racing Cup as a member of Lada scoring group.

He hit the podium in both series. In the Russian Cup, Sergey and his co-driver Viktor Antonov won a race in Smolensk Ring. As a result Sergey ranked 4th in the Lada Granta Cup during that season. In the Touring Light group Sergey only ranked 9th as during the last two rounds his car didn’t reach the finish line in each of the four races due to technical problems.

In 2013 Sergey Shalunov receives an invitation to join Syzran Racing Team. The team raced in the Lada Granta and National groups of the Russian Championship.
