Nick Zapolski

Nick Zapolski is the founder of ChooseMyCar and a lifelong motoring enthusiast with a rich background both on and off the track. A former competitive racer, Nick has taken part in British Touring Car Championship support events, giving him a unique understanding of performance, handling and what truly makes a car enjoyable to drive. That racing pedigree translates into a sharp eye for build quality, balance and driver engagement- qualities he looks for whether he's behind the wheel of a city hatchback or a proper performance sports car.

As well as steering the direction of the business, Nick is a hands-on contributor to the ChooseMyCar platform, offering insights that go beyond the spec sheet. He writes regularly on new car releases, ownership tips, market trends and car reviews, always with an eye on what matters most to real drivers. His content aims to strike a balance between informed opinion and everyday relevance, helping people make sense of a car market that’s constantly changing.

With a proven track record of building successful businesses in car finance and alternative consumer credit, Nick understands what goes on behind the scenes of car ownership. He’s spent years challenging the traditional finance model, advocating for better, more inclusive options for motorists across the UK. This entrepreneurial background brings depth and clarity to his writing, particularly when tackling often misunderstood topics like affordability, finance products, and running costs.

Away from the screen, Nick is never far from the world of cars. Whether he’s following the latest touring car action, getting off the grid for a weekend drive, or keeping tabs on emerging technologies in the auto space, his passion remains front and centre. He’s driven by the belief that a car isn’t just a practical tool, but something that should excite, satisfy and connect with the driver: and that belief runs through everything he creates.
