Czabok-Simpson Motorsport has announced the addition of Ismaeel Ellahi to its lineup for the team’s entry in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge GSX Class.

Ellahi, an accomplished sim racer, will pilot one of the team’s Porsche Cayman 718 GT4 RS Clubsport entries, a car he drove in both GT4 European Series powered by Rafa Racing Club and Porsche Sprint Challenge Germany this year.

“I’m incredibly excited to join Czabok-Simpson Motorsport for the 2026 season,” he said.

“CSM has built a strong reputation with Porsche platforms, and the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge GSX class is an excellent environment to continue developing as a driver.

“I’m looking forward to working closely with the team and pushing for strong results in 2026.”

Team co-owner and managing partner Matthias Czabok added: “Ismaeel represents exactly what we look for in a driver. He brings commitment, professionalism, and a clear desire to grow within the Porsche Motorsport ladder.

“The GSX program is a key part of our 2026 efforts, and we believe Ismaeel will be a strong addition to the CSM lineup as we continue to build competitive and sustainable programs.”

In addition to its VP Challenge program, CSM previously announced an expansion into Porsche Carrera Cup North America next year, while also maintaining a presence in Michelin Pilot Challenge.
