Christian F. L. Cole Driver Profile
A west side business professional, married, and a father of two, Christian has been an exotic car and racing enthusiast since getting his driver license at age 15. He began his driving career with BMW/Skip Barber Advanced Driving School at Lime Rock Park in 1990, followed by Skip Barber Racing School at Sebring Raceway shortly after. Upon completion of a single lapping session, the minimum lapping days required to race was waived by the SB instructors as result of his exceptional car control skills.

After feeling the need to sharpen his driving skills, Cole completed the Dodge/Skip Barber Advanced Driving at Road Atlanta in 2000, the BMW Performance Driving School at Spartanburg in 2003, as well as the Bondurant Grand Prix Road Racing School in 2016.
After receiving the highest grade in his Bondurant class, he decided to go back to his roots and compete in the Bondurant Masters Formula Mazda Series in 2017 and finished 2nd overall with 4 podium finishes.
Christian made his debut into professional racing in 2019 with the McCann Racing Team in the newly formed SRO TC America Series, piloting the #27 McCann Racing/NOSHOK Audi Sport RS3 LMS (DSG). He successfully completed his debut season with the McCann Racing Team in the TCR Class with impressive results, finished 2nd overall in the championship with 15 podium finishes, and was awarded the 2019 TCR Rookie Of The Year award.
