Nicole Wakelin’s Biography

I write about cars. A lot. That’s because I've always loved cars and the fact that they regularly hand me the keys to shiny new automobiles so I can write about them still amazes me. I cover news, write and film video reviews, and attend auto shows and new vehicle launches around the world. 

In addition to written and video coverage of the industry, I also speak to all things automotive. I have appeared on numerous podcasts, done radio interviews including national broadcasts on NPR, and spoken at conferences.

I competed as a driver in the 2020 Rebelle Rally covering 1,500 miles of off-road terrain with only maps and compasses to guide the way. I also drove in both the 2022 Mille Miglia Warm-Up USA coming in first among all novice entrants and returned for another run in 2023.

I am a current member and former Vice President of the New England Motor Press Association. I am also a juror for the World Car Awards, a juror and vice president for the North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards, and a juror for Women’s World Car of the Year.

I am currently a freelance journalist for a variety of sites including TopSpeed, U.S. News, AutoWeb, and CarTalk. I'm also Editor in Chief at TestMiles as well a co-host of the Wheel Bearings Podcast.

My work has appeared online and in print for a wide range of outlets including TrueCar, Forbes Wheels, Sports Car Market Magazine, Car Talk and World Report, Boston Globe, Kelley Blue Book, CNET, CarGurus, Ride by Kelley Blue Book, and Newsweek.
