The Kia Rio is arguably the most popular car on the Russian racing circuits. The successful QB generation base model rapidly became popular among drivers and teams of Russian Series of Circuit Racing: in 2017, Kazan's Aidar Nuriyev brought the Korean brand its first title in the S1600 class.Since then, Rio has led its drivers to first place three more times, and in 2025 Nikolay Karamyshev won the national championship in the senior Touring Light class with a more recent Rio X FB.

We'll definitely get to the FB later, but for now, we're happy to present an earlier model to simracing fans. It's been recreated as thoroughly as possible based on real cars. We owe a huge thanks to Alexander and Mikhail Pochenkov: the racing brothers actively shared information, which allowed us to ensure the high quality of the mod.

The livery of the Powerful team, for which the Siberians compete, has naturally been included in the mod. Equally important, the Rio is available in two performance levels – to suit both the Touring Light and S1600 classes.
