Meet The Team

Nigel is our team manager. He has always had a love of motorsport and has now taken on the responsibilty of getting the team to the podium. Nigel will come up with stratagies, manage fuel stops and driver changes. Nigel is mostly seen with his earphones on communicating with the driver. 

Nigel is an asset to the team and is well regarded  by other teams on the grid. Always with a smile and a joke he is very supportive of the drivers and will even appear at their test days and other race events day to support them.

In 2024 Nigel was able to work on the development of the team and under his management brought home a 2nd place at the Daytona 3 hours, an overall 1st at the Daytona 6 hours and a second in class in our first attempt in the British 24 hours. 

In 2024 Nigel will be seaking opportunities for new drivers in Cole Clarke Racing. It has been announced that Nigel is to step down from 24 hours racing events. This is sad news as Nigel has been there from the start. We have not lost Nigel as he will still be the team manager for the 3 and 6 hours events. 

Barry has always been a petrol head with a love of all things ‘engines’. After Barry left school he went on to do mechanics at college and has been a vehicle technician since. He began drag racing in his mid 20’s with a beloved Rx7 and this continued through to late 30’s with his Civic Type R. Barry also had his fair share of track days. All of the above Barry has decribed as having been for fun and thoroughly enjoyable, every minute of it! He has always dabbled in a bit of karting and his love for the sport has strengthened since I turned 40 and was bought his first kart suit. Barry has done many a race on his own and loved the thrill it gave him, but had never had the opportunity to race competitively until a chance meeting with Andy at an open sprint race karting session. Since experiencing being part of the team Barry realised that this is what he was missing and is what he love most about the sport! It gives him such a buzz that we’re all working towards the same goal together and can encourage one another, offer advice and a few laughs along the way. Barry is now looking forward to what the future holds for us as a team.

Elliot is self-confessed car nut! Having spent many years working on race cars and road cars, thanks to his dad also being a racing driver sparking the automotive fire inside him. Elliot has had plenty of experience on track in cars, but looking for some competitive racing. 

Elliots has experience driving track days testing for various teams he has worked with, and competed in local rounds at Castle Combe.
