Leading mid-range tyre brand, Davanti Tyres, has renewed its partnership with MINI CHALLENGE racer, Dan Zelos. The 2024 season will be the fifth year Davanti has sponsored the reigning MINI CHALLENGE Champion.

The 25-year-old is ready to take on the 2024 season with a fighting spirit, enjoying the reputation of being one of the most successful drivers in MINI CHALLENGE history. With the momentum of being crowned 2023 Champion behind Zelos, Davanti Tyres and Zelos are looking forward to leading the way in the first race of the season, starting at Donington Park on 27-28th April 2024.

With a new year comes a new look and this season Zelos’s livery on his orange and black MINI JCW features striking Davanti branding on the side and rear panels, spoiler and bonnet, as well as on his helmet and race suit.

Sean Maddocks, Davanti Sales Director for UK & Ireland said: “Our long-standing partnership with Dan Zelos is something we’re very proud of – it’s important to us, as a British-owned tyre manufacturer, to support a British racer.

“We really admire Dan’s determination and commitment and as 2023 Champion, we will watch every race wishing him well and hoping to see him retain the crown this season, too.”

Commenting on the partnership, Dan Zelos added: “I feel more excited to get out this season than ever. After the success last year, I took a real step back from the track to celebrate and spend time with family and friends. We’ve had a great winter to rest, recharge and get that buzz back to be in the driving seat.

“Of course, a lot of my success would not have happened without the support of my partners, including Davanti Tyres who have been a constant over the last five years. As we head into the new season, I’m determined we’ll be celebrating another great season together later this year.”

The action will get underway at Donington Park on 27/28 April – stay up to date with Dan’s progress on Davanti Tyre’s social channels
