About Chicane Motorsports

The story of how a driver, a marketer, a finance wiz and a business guy built a different kind of race team.

From One Car and a Laptop to a Two-Car Program

Chicane Motorsports didn’t start in a boardroom – it started in the paddock.

Over the last few seasons, Cody McKay Motorsports and Coleman & Co PR quietly built one of the most visible programs in Aussie Racing Cars: consistent TV time, sponsor-friendly content and a media engine that turned race weekends into real marketing assets.

In 2025, that work was recognised with the category’s “Best Media & Marketing” award.

From there, the next step was obvious:

What if we built a team from day one that treated motorsport as a serious brand platform – with racing, media and commercial strategy all holding equal weight?

Chicane Motorsports is the answer.

Why We’re Called Chicane

In racing, a chicane is that sequence of corners that separates the bold from the tentative. It’s where:

  • races can be won or lost

  • drivers prove their commitment

  • fans hold their breath

We chose the name because we’re not interested in simply circulating and hoping someone notices.

We’re here to be the team that takes smart risks, makes bold moves and helps brands stand out – on track and on screen.
