<\/p>\nEnvoy Tyres announces its continued partnership with Dan Zelos, after launching his 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge GB campaign at Donington Park.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old has secured an 11th-hour seat with Graves Motorsport, overcoming significant obstacles to confirm his place on the grid for what promises to be another thrilling season of motorsport action.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Zelos will pilot the #45, 500PS Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport in the fiercely-disputed RS Clubsport Pro class, with the car sporting an eye-catching livery dominated by Envoy Tyres’ signature green branding on the side and rear panels, spoiler and bonnet and complemented by matching race suit graphics.<\/p>\n
Sean Maddocks, sales director at Envoy Tyres, commented: \u201cAs a driver who embodies the same values of determination, precision and excellence that define the Envoy brand, Dan is the perfect ambassador.<\/p>\n
“The Porsche Sprint Challenge GB is a fantastic platform to showcase Envoy Tyres to audiences across the country, and we’re excited to support Dan in what’s shaping up to be a highly competitive season.”<\/p>\n
Despite missing out on a podium place in his 2025 campaign, Zelos demonstrated genuine pace and racecraft, securing four fourth place finishes at Donington Park, Oulton Park and Silverstone – narrowly missing silverware on multiple occasions as he re-adjusted to rear-wheel-drive machinery following nearly a decade in front-wheel-drive competition.<\/p>\n
With that valuable experience now under his belt, the triple Mini Challenge champion is targeting a significant step forward in 2026.<\/p>\n
Dan Zelos added: “It’s certainly been a rocky few weeks. For a while, things looked bleak as we were really struggling to raise the budget to keep going. I did have an option to return to Minis, but I wanted to put everything I learned in the Porsche last season to good use. It’s been stressful, but things finally came together and it’s a huge relief to confirm my place on the grid.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully I can bring even more to the table now I\u2019m back on-board, and although I went into the first weekend a little bit on the back foot, I\u2019m used to having to hit the ground running without much preparation and I\u2019m confident it won\u2019t take me long to get my head back in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dan\u2019s campaign commenced this month (16-19 April) at Donington Park’s National Circuit, with the season continuing at:<\/p>\n
