A love of racing runs in Nolan Allaer’s family. A third-generation racer, Allaer spent his childhood at the racetrack watching his father, uncle and grandfather compete in SCCA club events around the country.
Despite giving up racing to play hockey at age 11, he stayed involved in the sport through sim racing. In 2020, he attended an SCCA racing school as a high school graduation gift. By the end of racing school – a one-time opportunity from his parents -- he was running track record times and had reignited his passion for racing.
He’s been successful, too. He won SCCA National Titles in Formula Ford (2023) and Formula Continental (2022-23) and raced in Britain’s highly competitive BRSCC Formula Ford National Championship in 2023, winning his heat race and pole at the prestigious Formula Ford Festival.
Allaer balances racing with being a full-time college student. He’s a junior at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, working toward a degree in mechanical engineering.
