Valeriy Gorban (, born February 6, 1973) is a rally driver from Ukraine. From 2002 to 2020, Gorban took part in 193 national and international competitions. Career in the championship of Ukraine in rally 2002—2007: MacCoffee Rally Team For the first time in his life Valeriy sat behind the wheel of a sports car in 2002, at the age of 29, already being a businessman, creator and head of the racing team MacCoffee Rally Team. During the 2002 season in the Ukrainian Rally Championship, team colors were defended by Alexander Salyuk, Sr. and Alexander Salyuk, Jr .; Gorban joined them only at the final stage of the championship in Kherson. Already in the following year, 2003, Valeriy Gorban and his navigator Evgeny Leonov as part of the MacCoffee Rally Team are conducting the full Ukrainian championship in rallying the Lada 2112 Super 1600 car. Having won five races out of six possible, the crew becomes the champion in the A9 class, and MacCoffee again wins in the team classification. However, since the next season, due to changes in the rules of the championship, team-mates, Alexander Salyuk Jr. and Valeriy Gorban, performing on the same cars, turn out to be rivals in class A7. As a result, the championships of 2004 and 2005 become a duel of two fastest monoprivot pilots, which ends with a battle draw: in 2004, Salyuk becomes champion of Ukraine in the A7 class, in 2005 – Gorban. And a year later, both pilots are synchronously transplanted to the higher-class vehicles – all-wheel drive Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The 2006 season demonstrates that Valeriy Gorban can rightly be counted among the leaders of the Ukrainian rally. Podiums on the rally "Chumatsky Shlyakh" and "Golden Autumn of the Carpathians" allowed the pilot to take the sixth place in the overall standings of the championship in the end of the season. The result could have been higher, but the result of Gorban on the Trembit rally was canceled due to the mismatch of his car homologation card. The next season for Gorban can to some extent be called experimental – more than half of the races he spends on the unusual for himself Subaru Impreza, built by the Kiev racer and engineer Andrei Alexandrov. The results of the pilot do not fall – he again finishes on the podium in the rally "Chumatsky Shlyakh", "Trembita" and "Galicia" and again at
