Racing Driver Nick Leventis Overview

Nick Leventis, born on January 31, 1980, is a retired British racing driver and the founder of Strakka Racing. Before entering motorsport, Leventis was a professional downhill alpine skier, but a severe back injury in 2003 forced him to change his career path. He was educated at Harrow School.

Leventis began his racing career in 2004, driving a BMW M3 in the BMW LMA Euro Saloon Championship, where he dominated Class B and finished as runner-up overall. He quickly proved his abilities in endurance racing, achieving a class win and finishing 6th overall in the inaugural Silverstone Britcar 24 Hour race. In 2007, he established Strakka Racing, which became one of Britain's leading independent racing teams. The team progressed to the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2008 with an Aston Martin DBR9 GT1.

One of Leventis's most significant achievements was winning the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP2 category with teammates Danny Watts and Jonny Kane, breaking five records in the process. In 2016, Leventis became a member of the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) and, alongside Kane and Watts, finished fourth in the LMP2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, earning him the BRDC Woolf Barnato Trophy. Leventis retired from motorsports in 2019 following a four-year ban for testing positive for banned substances.
