Personal life

Cook is the son of Peter Cook, a former racing driver.[1]

Career

Cook began racing in 2020, making a one-off appearance in the Silverstone round of the Britcar Endurance Championship for Simpson Motorsport.[1] Remaining with the Audi RS 3 LMS customer for his first full season in the series the following year,[2] scoring a lone class win in race two at Silverstone and three other podiums to end the season fifth in the Class 4 standings.[3][4] In parallel, Cook raced with the same team in the Touring Car Trophy,[5] scoring a lone podium at Donington Park en route to eighth in points despite missing two rounds.[6][7]

In 2022, Cook returned to the newly-rebranded TCR UK Touring Car Championship and Simpson Motorsport for what was set to be a full-season campaign,[8] before leaving the series two rounds into the season, having only scored points by qualifying second at Donington Park.[9] Cook returned to the team later in the year, as he raced in the final three rounds of the British Endurance Championship in Class A,[10] scoring a best result of second at Silverstone and the first Donington Park enduro.[11] During 2022, Cook also raced in select rounds of the GT Cup Championship in the GT3 class, for both Enduro Motorsport at Silverstone and Cook Motorsport for the final two rounds.[12][13]

Joining Audi R8–fielding J&S Racing to remain in the GT Cup Championship the following year,[14] Cook amassed eight overall wins and eight more class wins to secure the GT3 title at season's end.[15][16] At the start of 2024, Cook joined AGMC Racing Team by Simpson Motorsport to race in the Dubai 24 Hour in the GT4 class,[17] finishing second in class in his first appearance at the event.[18] For the rest of the year, Cook returned to J&S Racing for his maiden season in the British GT Championship alongside Sacha Kakad.[19] Racing in the GT3 class, Cook scored a best result of fifth in race one at Snetterton en route to a 13th-place points finish.[20] In parallel, Cook also raced in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, competing in the Silver Cup for the first two rounds for Lamborghini-affiliated GRT Grasser Racing Team,[21] before switching to Audi-linked CSA Racing for the final three rounds.[22] During 2024, Cook also made a one-off appearance in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup for Saintéloc Racing at Brands Hatch.[23]

Switching to Barwell Motorsport for 2025 as a new Lamborghini junior,[24] Cook led a dual campaign in both the British GT Championship and the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup.[25][26] In the former, Cook began the year alongside Matt Topham, before being paired with Rob Collard for the rest of the season, in which he scored a lone win at Oulton Park and four other podiums to secure runner-up honors in points.[27] Racing alongside Sandy Mitchell in the latter, Cook scored a best result of seventh at both Brands Hatch and Zandvoort en route to a 20th-place points finish.[28] During 2025, Cook also raced for Mercedes-affiliated Boutsen VDS at the 24 Hours of Spa.[29] At the end of the year, Cook won the Lamborghini GT3 Young Driver Shootout at Misano.[30]

The following year, Cook remained with Barwell Motorsport for his third season in the British GT Championship.[31]
