INTERNATIONAL – Alan Enileev won the Need For Speed championship at the World Cyber Games in 2006.
He was one of eight Russians selected to carry his nation’s flag for the opening of the 2014 Summer Olympic games in Sochi, Russia.
Now, at 31, he has transferred his love of all things virtual onto the world of cars, waxing rhapsodic—mostly in Russian—about the inner workings of Bugattis and G-Wagens to his 2.1 million Instagram fans. He’s so popular that he got his stately, silver-haired father into it, too: Papa Enileev commands 104,000 Instagram followers of his own.
