Ukrainian Rally Championship Ivan Mishyn's rallying career is inextricably linked to his childhood friend
Vitaliy Pushkar. Friends began to visit rallies together as a fans, and also made their debut together as a professional rally crew, where Vitaliy took the driver's role, and Ivan became the codriver. Their first car was the all-wheel drive 2.0 liter
Subaru Impreza, which was previously owned by another Odesa driver
Igor Chapovsky. During the 2009 season Pushkar and Mishyn started in 11 rallies with the only retirement at the Bukovina rally, due to technical problems. Such stability has helped friends to become a winners of Ukrainian rally Championship in U12 class for the first year of performances.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX, which allows them to fight for victories in the Ukrainian national rally competitions. In the end of 2010 Pushkar and Mishyn got into the top ten fastest Ukrainian crews. Next year Odesites climb a step up in the top five and won its first international trophy -
Cup of Friendship, which is held by Automobile Federations of Ukraine,

Chumatskyi Shlyakh rally and became third in the
Mariupol rally which made them one of the season favorites, but retirement from
Galicia rally weakened their positions. The destiny of the championship had to be decided on the
Ivano-Frankivsk Trembita rally, and Vitaliy and Ivan won it - but this was not enough to get the title.
