🇨🇾 Tio Ellinas

Tio Ellinas is an established professional, FIA Gold graded, who raced single-seaters and Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars across six seasons from 2012 to 2021. His most substantial campaign came in GP3 Series for Manor, where he took three wins and five podiums across 29 starts, and he also competed in Formula V8 3.5, GP2 Series and Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, finishing 12th in the Porsche championship in his final season.[1]

Ellinas won races against fields that included graded professionals and future Formula 1 drivers. In Formula V8 3.5, he finished ahead of Oliver Rowland, who would go on to win the 2015 championship and later join Formula E, and he beat Carlos Sainz, the 2014 Formula V8 3.5 champion, on five occasions across their meetings in that series. His GP3 campaign with Manor generated consistent results in a grid spanning amateurs and established professionals; he was closely matched throughout his career against Conor Daly, a Gold-graded driver and former Star Mazda champion, and Aaro Vainio, a Silver-graded professional, both regular opponents across multiple series.[2]
