The SMP Racing car which Zlobin, alongside Mika Salo and Anton Ladygin used in the 2014 Le Mans 24h
Zlobin began racing in 1996 at the later age of 26, and took part in several competitions, such as Danian Cup in rallycross. In 1998, he made a switch to single-seater racing, initially competing in Russian Formula Three Championship and Euro Formula 3000 for several years.[1]
In August 2002, he was announced as a test driver for the MinardiFormula One team, becoming the first Russian to test a Formula 1 car. His signing was a part of the sponsorship deal that Minardi made with Gazprom, brokered by Oksana Kosachenko. However, Gazprom paid only 2 million dollars out the promised 9 million during the season, which led to the contract breaking down.[2] After a one-year hiatus, Zlobin returned to motorsport in 2004, and continued the testing programme with Minardi.[3]
On 24 September 2007, Zlobin survived a car bomb which had been planted in his Mercedes-Benz G500. The explosion caused minor injuries to Zlobin's legs, but he was able to get out of the vehicle himself to call police.[4]
