damani-marcano-donington-smiling-in-front-of-car-mediumDamani Marcano represents a unique and compelling opportunity for visionary brands to not just be a part of his story but to define it. At barely 16 years old, and after only two short years in kart racing, Damani was the youngest driver in the 2015 Volkswagen Racing Cup, held as part of the British GT Championships. Before he was allowed to drive on public roads, he made his car-racing debut in front of crowds of up to 15,000 spectators per race and millions of TV viewers through the year.

He was also welcomed as a guest driver in the VAG Trophy where he became the youngest driver to qualify on the front row and achieve fastest-lap in a race. Combined with a natural ability in the car, hard work and determination, Damani is also exceptional with the media. Not only does he attract a car-enthusiasts and motorsport audience, he is hugely popular in the mainstream and lifestyle press.

 “Damani showed natural car control when on or over the limit. I was particularly impressed with how he handled interviews on the day. This is extremely important if a driver is to be the complete package – something that Damani is well on his way to becoming.” – James Dixon, racing driver & racing instructor

Mass Media Exposure

He is already involved as a presenter in the development of a TV series project, exploring motoring activities for teens, earmarked for production in the Summer of 2015. His step from karting into car racing was barely announced yet mainstream TV and print media immediately organised his story into their schedules. With solid media exposure all year, many more will want to tell his story. Your brand has the opportunity to exploit this now before this one-time opportunity has passed.IMG_0679
