Nick Foster is a British auto racing driver and businessman who has driven in the British Touring Car Championship.

Racing career

After spending the first part of his career in rallying, Foster switched to circuit racing in 2006, competing in the Radical Championship. In 2007 he began two years in the British GT Championship, driving a GT3 class Dodge Viper for Team RPM. Two years in the GT Cup followed.

British Touring Car Championship

In 2011, Foster stepped up to the British Touring Car Championship, driving for West Surrey Racing in a BMW 320si. His best result of the season was a second-place finish in the reversed grid race at Croft, ahead of teammate Rob Collard. He stayed with the team for 2012, now rebranded as eBay Motors. Nick remained with the WSR team for 2013, with a brand new NGTC spec BMW 1 series, alongside Collard and returning former champion Colin Turkington. He stayed as part of WSR's unchanged line–up for the 2014 season. Foster announced his retirement from the BTCC on 7 January 2015.
Foster is the chairman of Contour Electronics, who sponsored the WSR team prior to his move into the BTCC with the team.

Foster's son, Louis Foster, is a racing driver currently competing in British F4 with Double R Racing.
