CAM-sponsored Dan Zelos in final race weekend of the MINI championship & his BTCC plans for 2023
As CAM-sponsored Dan Zelos heads into the final race weekend of the MINI championship, he’s been reflecting on a mixed season that he describes as plagued by “bad luck”.
“As we head to Brands Hatch I’m looking forward to ending the season on a high.”
“It has been a proud season to carry the #1 on my car. But hopefully, the bad luck is behind us and we get some results that my team, most importantly my mechanic deserves for all the blood, sweat and tears we have gone through this season.”
In the penultimate race of the season at Silverstone, Zelos experienced a front tyre puncture and race 3 came to an abrupt ending. As the Operations Manager at a group of tyre wholesale depots, it’s hard to miss the irony that it’s the MINI’s tyres that have been giving Zelos trouble through the 2022 season.
“The new tyre compound that was introduced this season has not been a tyre my driving style suits. I always push to the car’s limits and this tyre doesn’t like that too much.”
Despite the odds, Zelos’ optimism remains tangible and it’s no surprise when he has such exciting racing ambitions in development.
“We are getting closer to making my dreams come true. I’m fully focused on getting a British Touring Car Championship seat for next season!”
