Dan Eaves

Daniel John Eaves (born 3 June 1975 in Worcestershire) is a British auto racing driver.

In 1998 he won the Renault Spider Cup and earned a test with the Williams touring car team and the nickname Spiderman because of his dominance in the series.

This was a transitional year for the championship, and Eaves finished 5th out of a fairly thin field, although he beat veteran team-mate Steve Soper.

Eaves won Indy honours ahead of former Superbike racer Aaron Slight, and team-mate Tim Harvey.

He recorded five wins, including 3 at Thruxton – the first time that one driver had ever won three BTCC races in one meeting.

The team entered in 2009 giving Eaves his return to the BTCC alongside Adam Jones in a pair of bio-ethanol fuelled SEAT Leons under the banner of Cartridge World Carbon Zero Racing.
