LADA Vesta it has an international homologation. Prepared for the participation of LADA Sport ROSNEFT team pilots in the top class "Touring" of the Russian series of circuit races.
Since 2009, the LADA Sport factory team has been represented in the World Touring Car Racing Championships.
In 2015 and 2016 it drove 1.6-liter turbo engine LADA Vesta TC1 with a capacity of 380 hp, prepared by the French company Oreca according to the regulations of the Global Race Engine ("World Racing Engine"). Both years, the team ended up in third place in the manufacturers' standings. The 2016 season was the best for the drivers for all their performances in the WTCC — nine podiums, three record-breaking victories, two of which won at the Russian stage. Meanwhile, by 2017, due to the world championship's deep crisis, LADA Sport (as well as Citroën Racing) decided to leave it. Racing Vestas were still presented at the championship — they were piloted by the private Italian team RC Motorsportruen. In total, the pilots on the "Vestas" won 19 podiums in the WTCC (including 4 victories).
Since 2017, the LADA Sport team, using various LADA Vesta modifications, has been participating in The Russian Series of Circuit Races, constantly being in the leading group. Although the car was created in the shortest possible time, from the first races it was able to compete on an equal footing with the world's leading models of the class. During this time, several different versions of the racing Vesta debuted in the Touring class — with VAZ and Renault engines.
