Driving Sri Lanka’s Spirit Forward: DIMO’s Partnership with Young Racing Star Yevan David.

Staying true to its purpose of fuelling dreams and ambitions, DIMO continues to celebrate Sri Lankan excellence on the global stage. Renowned for its legacy of innovation, performance, and progress, DIMO takes immense pride in supporting local talent that embodies the spirit of these ideals. In this spirit, DIMO is proud to announce its partnership with rising motorsport sensation Yevan David, marking an exciting new milestone in the journey to elevate Sri Lanka’s presence in the international racing arena.

With a shared mission to enhance Sri Lanka’s position on the global stage, leading diversified conglomerate DIMO and young racing prodigy Yevan David have forged a partnership that redefines the country’s path to the international motorsport arena.

Yevan’s exposure to motor racing started at the tender age of six, when he went karting with his father at Sri Lanka’s premier facility, the Sri Lanka Karting Circuit (now SpeedBay) in Bandaragama. Showing great promise, his family recognized that this could be Yevan’s true calling, and by 2015, he was competing in kart racing in Singapore. Showcasing his talent and masterful driving technique, he was soon racing in Malaysia and Macau as well. By 2017, ten-year-old Yevan became the IAME Asia Series X30 Champion in the Cadet category. The following year, he secured the X30 Asia Cup in the Cadet Category, winning the race at the very place he first stepped into a kart – SpeedBay, Bandaragama. From there, he continued in professional kart racing before entering the worlds of Eurocup3, Formula 4, and Euroformula Open in 2024. In 2025, he stormed to a sensational rookie season in the Euroformula Open Championship, clinching the Rookie trophy as well as securing the overall second place in the Championship. He will become the first Sri Lankan to compete in FIA Formula 3.

Expressing his thoughts on this alliance, Yevan David said, “I am confident that this partnership will spur us to succeed, to shine, and to take the Sri Lankan flag further into the world of motorsport. It represents far more than a collaboration—it’s a shared belief that Sri Lanka can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in global racing.”

Commenting on this partnership, Rajeev Pandithage, Executive Director of DIMO, said, “DIMO has always been at the forefront of automotive trends and innovations in Sri Lanka, and we pride ourselves on supporting local young talent to reach the global arena. Yevan’s effervescent energy, inimitable talent, and racing spirit are all qualities that bring us immense pride as a nation. We believe this partnership enables us to enhance Sri Lanka’s position on the global stage.”

This partnership marks another step forward in DIMO’s journey of driving progress and excellence. Stay tuned to our blog for more updates on DIMO’s latest initiatives, collaborations, and inspiring stories that continue to fuel dreams and ambitions. http://www.corpnewsbuz.com/
