Current Vertu MINI CHALLENGE points leader Dan Zelos will take his support for the Parkinson\u2019s UK charity to a new level when the 2024 season resumes at Croft, with a special one-off livery on his EXCELR8 Motorsport-run car.<\/strong><\/p>\n Zelos has proudly carried Parkinson\u2019s UK logos on his car this year to help raise awareness of the charity and its work after someone close to him was diagnosed with the condition.<\/p>\n As a result of the partnership, Parkinson\u2019s UK has had a presence at each of the five BTCC meetings held so far this season, with representatives from the charity joining EXCELR8 on the grid for the 15 touring car races run to date.<\/p>\n In a bid to further showcase his personal support for Parkinson\u2019s UK, and with the full backing of his various other commercial partners, Zelos will run a revised colour scheme for the two races in North Yorkshire, which mark the first time he will have competed at Croft since 2021.<\/p>\n His traditional Davanti-backed livery will be replaced by a striking new look which will be seen in public for the first time when he hits the track for official practice on Friday.<\/p>\n Alongside the one-off livery, Zelos will also help generate much-needed funds to go towards research into the condition – and potential treatments – through a charity track walk that is scheduled to take place at the circuit on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n Fans attending the event will be able to join Dan at 9am in the assembly area (located on the outside of turn one) to complete a lap of the track.<\/p>\n All those who donate \u00a35 or more on a special JustGiving page before the conclusion of the second Vertu MINI CHALLENGE race on Sunday will also be entered into a draw to win a number of special prizes – including VIP hospitality to the 2024 season finale at Brands Hatch.<\/p>\n People will also be able to donate via a QR code on Dan’s race car, and also via leaflets that will be made available during the track walk on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
