In the next season, and due to a change in the rules of the championship, team-mates Alexander Salyuk Jr. and Valeiry Gorban drive against each other as rivals, however still performing in the same cars.

Podiums on the rally "Chumatsky Shlyakh" and "Golden Autumn of the Carpathians" saw the driver come sixth place in the overall standings of the championship at the end of the season.

The next season sees Gorban taking a more experimental approach to his – in more than half of the races he used a Subaru Impreza, which was an unusual car for him, built by the Kyiv racer and engineer Andriy Alexandrov.

The 2008 season begins for Valeriy and his team with a change of image – the side of the cars is decorated with the logo of the new title sponsor, the vodka brand Prime.

The season of 2009 did not become a breakthrough, although he brought the pilot the first podium in the Bukovina rally in two years, and the team headed by him returned to the top of the standings.

At the beginning of the season, both favorites are transplanted to higher-class cars: Gorban on the Mini Cooper RRC, and Salyuk on the Ford Fiesta R5.

Everything is decided on the last race, the Trembit rally – and here Salyuk, unable to withstand the tension, gets off the track at the first stage, and Gorban becomes the absolute champion of Ukraine for the second time in his career.

The second season of Mini Cooper RRC showed stability: 100% finish in 7 races, 2 victories on special stages, and 10th place got in WRC-2 standings.

His Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 started in the Star Fortetsya rally and easily won the victory with a tremendous advantage over the second prize winner.

His second start in Ukraine was at the end of the rally season when Valery decided to surprise everyone with Mini John Cooper Works WRC notable by its very colorful painting.

The Estonian Sergei Larens occupied the seat on the right of Valery Gorban, and the newly created team started in the new WRC-Trophy, where the previous-generation RC1 vehicles were allowed to participate.

The crew of Valeriy Gorban and Sergei Larens became the leader in both of them thanks to their victory at the season start and a prize place got in the next stage.

The restored Rally Fortecya was at a very high level, and the crew of Valery Gorban and Sergei Larens did not know the equal paths of Podillya.

In the first race in Argentina, the crew of Valeriy Gorban and Andrei Nikolaev climbed to the podium, and a few weeks later in Greece he managed to win his first victory in the World Cup.

During the season, third place was added to this in Italy and two fourth in New Zealand and Spain, which in total allowed the crew to become the first Ukrainian athletes to become bronze medalists of the World Rally Championship.

Starting in 2013, Valeriy transplanted to the higher-class equipment, the Mini Cooper RRC car, thus taking part in the classification of the newly formed WRC 2.

The significantly increased level of competition plus the necessary period of adaptation to the new car does not allow Gorban to show the same high results in the 2013 season.

2008 started with the next update of equipment, this time at the disposal of Valeriy and Stanislav Porsche 996 RSR, which allowed to fight for victories on the North loop.

In 2008, Valeriy Gorban took part in the cult race ADAC Zurich 24h Rennen, the international crew saw the finish in tenth place in the absolute standings.

In 2009, joint performances could not be continued because of the refusal of the German Consulate to extend the visa to Stanislav Gryazin, Valeriy Gorban only went on a start in the crew with Olexii Kikireshko and Ralph Wagner, but 2 in the class.

Ukraine hosted several stages of the European Rally Cup and held joint competitions with the Russian and Belarusian automobile federations.
