Cool Racing / CLX Motorsport, most commonly known as Cool Racing, is a French-based Swiss sports car racing team which currently competes in the European Le Mans Series, fielding entries in the LMP2 and LMP3 classes, as well as the Le Mans Cup.[1]

Founded in 2017 by Patrick Barbier and Alexandre Coigny, the team initially partnered with Racing Spirit of Léman to run their operations.[2][3] At the end of 2020, a restructuring occurred, during which Nicolas Lapierre became the team principal and the outfit was rebranded to Cool Racing / CLX Motorsport; the C and L standing for Coigny and Lapierre respectively.[4]
