If you thought Dan Zelos was done after smashing the MINI Challenge, think again. After clinching his third Vertu MINI Challenge JCW title (yes, third) and dipping his toes into the BTCC waters, Dan is now taking a bold leap into the high-stakes world of Porsche racing. And he’s not going in solo—he’s got the freshly minted tyre brand Envoy Tyres riding shotgun.
What’s the Deal with Envoy Tyres?
If Envoy Tyres isn’t ringing bells yet, it’s because they’re the new kid on the block—affordable, fresh, and clearly keen to shake things up. Their decision to back Zelos in the 2025 Porsche Sprint Challenge GB isn’t just a smart marketing move—it’s a bold brand statement. Envoy is here, and they’re not shy about it.
New Championship, New Car, New Livery
Zelos will be hitting the tarmac in a Porsche 718 GT4 RS Clubsport (that’s the track-focused version of the Cayman, for those keeping score). He’ll be racing with Graves Motorsport, a name that knows its way around a pit lane.
What’s turning heads even before the tyres hit Donington Park’s curves on April 26th? That striking new livery. Picture deep greens slicing through the track like a blur—Envoy’s signature style is splashed across the side panels, spoiler, bonnet, and even Dan’s helmet and race suit. If the performance doesn’t catch your eye, the visuals will.
Why It Matters – For Fans and the Future
This isn’t just about one driver or one race. It’s a smart, strategic entry for Envoy into a racing series that continues to grow in prestige. The Porsche Sprint Challenge GB may be entering its sixth season, but with brands like Envoy joining the paddock, it’s clearly just getting started.
Sean Maddocks, Sales Director at Envoy, puts it best: “We’re thrilled to have Dan join the Envoy family. As our new Envoy partner, we are looking forward to supporting him in the next step of his motorsport journey. The Porsche Sprint Challenge GB is the perfect platform to showcase and debut the Envoy brand as we start to grow its presence around the UK. From the team here at Envoy, we wish Dan the best of luck for the season ahead.”
And Dan? He’s just as hyped: “This is a whole new chapter for me, and I couldn’t be happier to represent the new Envoy Tyres brand in the Porsche Sprint Challenge GB.”
What’s Next? Keep Your Eyes on Donington
If you’re around Donington Park on April 26–27, you’ll want to catch the season opener. Expect elbows-out racing, aggressive overtakes, and plenty of Porsche-powered drama. You can follow Dan’s journey and the Envoy team via their social channels or head over to www.envoy-tyres.com for more.
