Egor Orudzhev

Having competed in the Toyota Racing Series during the 2014 winter, where three victories, including his maiden single-seater triumph at Teretonga Park, helped him towards sixth place overall, Orudzhev stayed with Tech 1 for that year's Eurocup season.

[15] His season proved to be a breakthrough, as he not only convincingly beat his teammate — future Formula One driver Nicholas Latifi — but finished fifth in the standings as the second-highest rookie.

[18] A total of six retirements cost the Russian a chance to fight for the title, as he won five races on his way to third in the standings, though his and teammate Aurélien Panis's efforts would be enough for Arden to be crowned teams' champions at the final round.

[20] Once again, a flurry of retirements separated Orudzhev from fully challenging eventual champion Pietro Fittipaldi, though he was nonetheless able to claim ten podiums, including two wins.

[24] The following season, Orudzhev and the team raced in three rounds of the ELMS in preparation for SMP's campaign in the top class of the 2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship.

Orudzhev drove the team's #17 entry, piloting a BR Engineering BR1 alongside Stéphane Sarrazin and Isaakyan.

[28] At the season opener in Silverstone, the team benefited from troubles which befell fellow privateers Rebellion, finishing third overall, four laps down to the leading Toyotas.
