There is an old adage that states "alone we go faster, together we go further." Speed is the main objective of any race car driver but when it comes to achieving goals and dreams for the future, the union of talent and people who believe in the sport are always seeds that bear long-lasting and precise fruits.

Beginning with the 2020 racing season, São Paulo, Brazil-based Banco Daycoval has decided to believe in the career of Brazilian driver Kiko Porto to take the institution's brand across the world.

This season, the 16-year-old from Pernambuco joins Houston-based DEForce Racing, behind the wheel of the Banco Daycoval / Petromega / DEForce Racing / Speed Group entry in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship – the first step on the Road to Indy Presented by Cooper Tires. Young Porto knows how important it is to carry the name Daycoval for his success as a driver.

“I feel very excited to have the Daycoval brand stamped on our car,” said Porto. “A driver's success often passes through the hands of those who believe in their work. My determination and the will to win becomes even stronger with this partnership, and my responsibility and dedication only increase from now on. I thank everyone on Banco Daycoval's board for joining my dream.”

The first race weekend of the USF2000 season will be March 13-15, on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. In total, there will be nine race weekends throughout the year and two official series tests: one in early March and the other in May.
