Nick Leason (born 23 August 1968 in Purley, London) is a British racing driver currently who drove a Lexus IS200 in the British Touring Car Championship in 2007. He previously entered for the last 2 rounds (6 races) of 2006 at Brands Hatch and Silverstone. Leason achieved a final championship position of 24th. Leason announced he would compete in his first full BTCC season in 2007, driving the Daniels Motorsport-run Vauxhall Astra Coupe he had raced in the closing rounds of the 2006 season. However, this project was abandoned during pre-season and Leason was instead confirmed as a driver for BTC Racing in a Lexus teamed with Chris Stockton. He did not race at Croft that year^[1] and after persistent reliability troubles decided to abort his full season campaign.

In 2008, Leason announced that he planned to join up with Rick Kerry and Team AFM Racing to race a pair of diesel fuelled BMW 120d's,^[2] though the team missed the whole season.^[3] Leason did race the diesel powered BMW 120d in the opening four rounds of the 2009 BTCC^[4] before withdrawing due to lack of budget.
