We don’t manage seasons.
We manage careers.

In motorsport, short-term decisions can have long-term consequences.
That’s why every step should be part of a bigger plan — protecting today’s investment while building tomorrow’s opportunities.

For families, it’s about vision and continuity.
For drivers, it’s about progress, not shortcuts.

Motorsport is a journey, not a gamble.

DREAM START FOR SILKUNAS AND SILKUNAITE: WINS AND PODIUMS AT THE COTFAP EVENT IN MACAU

The season-opening weekend for Minardi Management powered by DAG LTD featured the two Lithuanian siblings, Markas Silkunas and Vanesa Silkunaite. On the Macau circuit, the two young drivers shined in the Senior category, finishing both races in the top two positions.

Vanesa Silkunaite – COTFAP – Macau

RACE 1: P2, RACE 2: P1, Event Final Result: P2

Vanesa Silkunaite started her new season in the best possible way, proving to be one of the standout performers of the Macau round of the Champions of the Future Academy Program. The young Lithuanian driver dominated throughout the weekend’s sessions, surrendering the lead only in a few heats to her fellow Minardi Management Powered by DAG LTD talent, Markas.

For Silkunaite, this was her first win of 2026 — a success that confirms her strong end to last season and highlights her continued growth. The result achieved in Macau sends an important signal ahead of her upcoming international commitments and provides a valuable confidence boost for the rest of the racing year. An encouraging start that places Vanesa among the key contenders for the season that has just begun.

Markas Silkunas –COTFAP – Macau

RACE 1: P1, RACE 2: P2, Event Final Result: P1

Markas Silkunas also returned to action, picking up exactly where he left off last season — from the top step of the podium. It was a perfect weekend for the young Minardi Management Powered by DAG LTD driver, who claimed Saturday’s race with authority and secured second place on Sunday, earning him the overall victory of the Macau event.

Silkunas continues his preparation in karting ahead of his imminent debut in Formula 4 single-seaters, where he is expected to be one of the protagonists of the season. For the Lithuanian driver, the Macau races served as valuable training to maintain race pace and refine his feel and confidence on track in view of the championship start.
