Dan Zelos has made a last minute return to the Porsche Sprint Challenge, starting the 2026 season opener strong with three consecutive 4th place finishes.

After a lack of funding threatened to put an end to his racing dream, Zelos managed to secure sufficient sponsorship just in time for the start of the season and is now back in the running ready to push for those podium finishes.

The 2026 season began in Donington Park, where Zelos took to the track in his Envoy branded Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 in the RS Clubsport Pro category. 

Despite a lack of pre-season testing, Zelos had a strong start, securing two fastest laps and P4 in class across all three races, with a P4 overall to finish the weekend.

Commenting on the season ahead, Dan said:

“Going into my second season, I feel a lot more confident and have much more of an idea of what to expect. I’m very comfortable inside the team and I really enjoy working with the entire Graves Motorsport crew.

“Hopefully I can bring even more to the table now I’m back on board…and I’m confident it won’t take me long to get my head back in the game. I feel once we achieve that first podium, many more will follow…”

The Porsche Sprint Challenge competition continues at Oulton Park on 5th-7th June. You can follow Dan’s journey on our social channels.
