Racing season gets underway for Protoura Race

23rd April 2026

Protoura Race is ready to drive competitors to victory as the control tyre across three championships this year; the Mini Challenge Clubsport, Suzuki Swift Challenge and new for 2026, the Mini Rally Challenge.

Protoura Race officially made its mark in motorsport in 2025, receiving excellent driver feedback on its longevity and consistency. The tyre impressed drivers so much – with some commenting that they had run the tyres over several races without needing to replace them – that it is once again supporting competitors in both championships.

Additionally, Protoura Race is the tarmac tyre partner for all asphalt events in the 2026 Mini Rally Challenge – the first Road Rally series for Davanti. 

Commenting on the racing partnerships, Sean Maddocks, Davanti Tyres Sales Director for UK & Ireland, said:

“Our motorsport partnerships are centred around making motorsport more accessible from a financial standpoint, so it’s great to be working with the Mini Rally Challenge Championship who fully embody this aim while encouraging drivers to take part in what is a very exciting competition.”

Davanti is proud to support competitors with a tyre that delivers on performance while reducing the financial burden of tyre costs. Sean continued:

“Thanks to the proven performance and the exceptional longevity of our product, we’re providing drivers with the opportunity to save on tyre costs with no sacrifice on lap times – a valuable combination for the competitors on track.”

All three competitions are now underway, and you can follow all of the racing action on the Davanti social channels.
