Dan Zelos has had an impressive journey in British motorsport over the past decade. After starting his career in the Ginetta Junior Championship, where he secured two wins in his first year, Zelos moved up to the Renault Clio Cup in 2016.
After three years and two podiums in the series, Zelos made the move to the manufacturer series in 2019 that has seen the 26-year-old cement his name into British Motorsport, The Mini Challenge UK, where he has truly made his mark. Over five seasons, he has amassed 18 victories and 42 podiums, further solidifying his reputation as a formidable competitor.
His perseverance paid off when he won his first MINI Challenge UK title in 2021. Zelos repeated this success by clinching the championship again in 2023, becoming the driver with the most wins in the current JCW class of the series—a remarkable achievement in a highly competitive field.
The now three-time champion would continue his dominance in 2024, securing six wins and 11 podiums in 16 races. This stellar performance culminated in his move to the BTCC at Donington Park GP for the eighth event of the 2024 season, marking a significant step forward in his racing career.
