Davanti partners 750 Motor Club Swift Sport Challenge

Davanti Tyres has announced a new technical partnership with 750 Motor Club’s new Swift Sport Challenge.

As of January 2025, the Protoura Race tyre will become the control tyre of the championship, a new entry-level formula for 2025 that brings with it the next generation of technical and sporting cost control.

At the core of the Swift Sport Challenge are various new concepts that aim to reduce the ‘cost to be competitive,’ with regulations set to include details such as incentivising road-going cars, disincentivising spending on pre-race test days, sharing car setup data and removing the ability to use costly performance-enhancing data logging equipment.

In line with the low-cost racing model, the affordable high-performance tyre, Davanti says the Protoura Race has been selected as most suitable for both novice drivers and experienced racers alike, having been specifically designed to excel on the track.

According to Davanti, its semi-slick tread design provides a combination of excellent dry grip and control in the wet without compromising speed, making it a successful formula to outpace the ordinary.

Sean Maddocks, Davanti Tyres sales director for UK and Ireland, said: “At Davanti Tyres, we’re really pleased to work with 750 Motor Club and to see our first ever track tyre become the control tyre for the Swift Sport Challenge, supporting a new entry-level formula that aims to reduce the cost to be competitive and generally be more accessible.

“Despite its competitive price, the Protoura Race’s testing credentials are ahead of the benchmarks set by similarly priced competitors, thanks to rigorous testing and development at the IDIADA facilities in Spain and iconic motor racing circuits such as Silverstone and Spain’s Calafat Circuit. It will be great to show the racers and fans the on-track performance of this tyre.”
