ABOUT US
COLES RACING HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 2 DECADES, COMPETING REGULARLY FOR BRITISH KARTING TITLES
Coles Racing was set up by Adrian Coles, a character with countless years of experience in the karting and motorsport scene.
Adrian started karting in 1979 at the tender age of 9 at the Dunkeswell Kart Circuit. He graduated into single seater racing in 1989, racing alongside a young David Coulthard.
Adrian set up Coles Racing in 1991, running people in the 100 Junior and Senior Britain Class, before moving into the TKM categories. Adrian himself, still racing at the time, achieved 4th overall in the British TKM Championship in 1998, before winning the title in 1999.
At the end of the year 2000, Adrian stopped racing to concentrate on running the Race Team.
In 2002, Adrian first started running the team under the Coles Racing Team Awning, running drivers in the Super One and Stars of Tommorow Championships.
Over the years Adrian has worked with many drivers who are still known around the paddock today, such as Dan Hazlewood of Fusion Motorsport, David Bellchambers of Next-Gen Motorsport and Dan Holland of Dan Holland Racing.
