Davanti Tyres is using its first track tire, the Protoura Race, to launch its move into motorsports, with the company establishing the Davanti Tyres Race Team for 2025, which is set to compete in the inaugural 2025 Swift Sport Challenge.
In line with the Swift Sport Challenge’s low-cost racing model, the affordable high-performance Protoura Race tire has been selected as the control tire for the championship, having been specifically designed to excel on the track.
Adam Blair of the Davanti team explained what the tire’s first real-world racing experience means for the team, “The tire is well tested, but we’re very interested in incremental progress. The Protoura Race is already slightly ahead of its main competitor and I think being used by all cars in the championship will give Davanti more data to increase the gap even further over time.”
Davanti Tyres has also entered a brand-new technical and commercial partnership with the Mini Challenge Clubsport. As part of a three-year contract until 2027, the Protoura Race tire will be the new control tire of the championship, supplied and fitted by BMTR Motorsport.
Davanti Tyres CEO Peter Cross said, “It’s an exciting time for Davanti Tyres as we utilise our first-ever track tire, the Protoura Race, for a number of leading motorsport events. Now we have a semi-slick track tire, our performance range offers more options for our specialist retailers and motorists. We can’t wait to see it out on the track across 2025 as we enter a new era of motorsport.”
