Alan and his Brother, Martin setup Cooper Racing in Calne in 1984 after running their own cars in Cornwall. The team won their first championship at Castle Combe that year, and their first national championship with Antonio Armelin in 1985. In 1985 the team also produced their first Cooper Formula Ford. The team built on their success over the following years, and moved to their current address at Castle Combe in the early 90's. Cooper stopped manufacturing cars in 1992 to concentrate on running customer cars and Alan setup Castle Combe Racing School.
