“We’re really grateful to Sytner Leicester and BMW for their support,” said Dan Greaves. “It’s tough trying to qualify for a place at the Olympic Games and it’s a big help knowing that they are behind us, helping to raise funds and awareness. It’s also fantastic having a brand new 320d Mspt Saloon from now until the end of the 2012 Games. There’s a lot of travelling to heats, competitions and promotional events so it’s great being able to arrive there in style.”

Steve Gough, Dealer Principal at Sytner Leicester, said: “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get really involved with the 2012 Games. Our staff and customers are keen to support London 2012 so we’re really happy to be backing Dan – especially since he was born in Leicestershire and continues to train in Loughborough, not to mention his achievements to date.”
