Davanti eSports driver Zelos sets sights on Knockhill

10th February 2021

Dan Zelos claimed another important points haul at virtual Snetterton in the Mini Challenge eSeries to remain third in the real-world driver standings.

With the Mini Challenge main season just a few months away, Zelos and the Davanti eSports team go into the second half of the simracing version of the championship looking for victory at Knockhill.

“I feel sharp, I’m reacting quickly and mentally the competition in the eSeries is good preparation for the season,” said Zelos. “I’m going against guys I’m going to see on the grid in person so I am giving it my all to win and that is so different to out-of-season testing.

“VRRC and Asseto Corsa produce an incredible driving experience and to be able to compete at this level, when usually it would just be my team, the car and the track, is fantastic.

“Now, with 4 rounds remaining, I have to go out there and make my mark at virtual Knockhill.”

Live coverage of the Mini Challenge eSeries qualifying and racing from Knockhill starts at 9.45am on Saturday, February 14 from 9.45am with full commentary on the Mini Challenge UK Facebook and Youtube channels. Post-race highlights will be available on Amazon Prime.
