Dirt is Good becomes F1 Academy’s official detergent partner from the 2026 season.
The partnership strengthens the championship’s commercial base, adding a consumer brand group that includes Persil, OMO, and Skip.
At Zandvoort, 17-year-old Zoe Florescu enters as a Wild Card, carrying Dirt is Good branding on car #15.
The number links to Wonder Wash Max’s 15-minute cleaning claim, integrating product messaging across livery and kit.

Dirt is Good extends its wider campaign, featuring Florescu alongside Usain Bolt in international advertising.
