Tyler Cooke caught the racing bug early in life, as his grandfather had a late-model team where he spent a lot of time both at the shop and at the track. At the young age of 11, Tyler began racing karts and continues to occasionally run races to this day. His professional racing career started in 2011, at the age of 16, when he began racing in the Spec Miata class. His victory at the 13-hours of VIR shone light on Cooke’s ability helping to secure a seat with Freedom Autosport for the 2012 season of Grand-Am Sports Car Series. In 2013, Cooke joined the Bimmerworld Racing team in 2013 and success with wins and a couple third place championships. Cooke had competed in Germany in the VLN Series and in the ADAC 24 Hour Race at the Nurburgring in 2017 and 2018 where he scored a 3rd place at the ADAC 6 hour at the ring. In 2021 Tyler became a Junior driver for Lamborghini racing for Leipert Motorsports in the Fanatic GT World Challenge Europe series racing in races such as the 24 Hours of SPA. From Cooper City, FL, Cooke has extensive driving instructor experience. In addition to private coaching, Cooke has worked alongside manufacturer schools including Ford Racing School, BMW Performance Center and Lamborghini Squadra Corse. His experience as a professional race car driver, driver coach and driving instructor lends itself to the extensive experience that Tyler has with numerous tracks across North America which include: Road Atlanta, New Jersey Motorsport Park, Virginia International Raceway, Laguna-Seca, Daytona International Speedway and more! Tyler’s coaching style is unique – he is driven to promote long-term improvement by consistency and a unique driving technique. Coaching is important because it helps you either make big gains while learning a track or finding those last improvements to help you do well in a race or win. While he refuses to right seat, Tyler uses base laptimes and thorough data/video analysis to coach his clients visually.
