2026

In 2026 Daniel left karting behind and entered a completely new competitive environment. A new car. A new category. A new challenge.
The target is clear.
The path is built one step at a time.
F4
The first step into single-seaters.
Formula 4 represents the intended next step into single-seater racing: vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, tyre management, engineering work and physical preparation. The objective is to build the foundations required for the next stages.
F3
The international benchmark.
Formula 3 is a future objective where international competition becomes even more demanding. The challenge is no longer simply speed: consistency, technical understanding and racecraft become fundamental.
F2
One step from the elite.
Formula 2 represents the final major development stage before Formula 1. Reaching this level would require exceptional performance, maturity, preparation and sustained sporting progression.
F1
The destination that drives the journey.
Formula 1 is the long-term ambition. Not a shortcut. Not a promise. A destination that gives every previous step a purpose.
Daniel Oliver Sánchez wants to become one of the leading Spanish talents of his generation and build a career capable of taking him toward the highest level of world motorsport.
In only a few seasons he has gone from Madrid champion to international karting, FIA competition, an eighth place at the IAME World Finals and now his first chapter in car racing. The next challenge begins here.
The next talent from Madrid.
On the road to Formula 1.
Daniel Oliver and Elite Motorsport return to Donington Park for the penultimate event of the 2026 Ginetta Junior season.

Donington Park
While many of his competitors have been racing since the age of five, Daniel started much later.
Every race, every lap and every championship has become another opportunity to close the gap.

And this is onlythe beginning.
