Chelsea Hopkins

Contributor -

UK-based writer with a background PR and Marketing, and boots-on-the-ground experience running with my own off-road team. From late-night field repairs to race-day chaos, I know the scene inside and out. As Zendo News’ UK and EU contact, I cover motorsports across the region; any event, any class, any terrain. If it kicks up mud, rattles windows, or was built with more passion than budget, I’d love to write about it.
