Nigel Melker is one of the most popular and richest Racing Automobile Driver who was born on January 25, 1991 in Rotterdam, South Holland, Netherlands. The following year, Melker competed in both the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championships with MP Motorsport. Melker finished 18th within the NEC standings, and scored points for all the races he took part in. In the Eurocup the race, he competed in the first five races in the race, and was 23rd overall, earning five points, which was good for sixth position at Spa.
In 2010 Melker was one of the drivers to sign up with RSC Mucke Motorsport for the 2010 GP3 Series season. His team-mates were compatriot Renger van der Zande and German Tobias Hegewald. He began the season by winning his first pole position in his career in open-wheel racing during the first race at Barcelona however, during the race he got engaged in an incident on the first lap and had to be relegated. When he raced in the sprint, he began from the bottom and gained fourteenth position. He also took a pole in Turkey however he did not get into the top 10 until the last event of the year in Monza which relegated him to 23rd position at the championships.
As well as his 2011 GP3 campaign, Melker competed in the season’s Formula 3 Euro Series, also with Mücke, finishing in fourth position in the drivers’ standings with four wins. He finished ahead of his team-mates Felix Rosenqvist, Marco Sørensen and Facu Regalia, but was unable to consistently challenge dominant champion Roberto Merhi, his Prema Powerteam colleague Daniel Juncadella, or Signature driver Marco Wittmann.
Melker remained in GP3 with the Mücke team for the 2011 season, alongside Michael Christensen and Luciano Bacheta (who was later replaced by Daniel Mancinelli). With the benefit of a year’s experience in the category, his form was much stronger and he won the first race of the season in Turkey. This gave him the early championship lead, and he took a further four podium finishes, but he ultimately slipped to third place behind the Lotus ART duo of Valtteri Bottas and James Calado after his team appeared to lose its competitive edge following mid-season testing at Barcelona.
After missing for the entire 2007 campaign, Melker moved up to single-seaters in the year 2008. He took part at his first Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup in conjunction with Van Amersfoort Racing. He was twelfth in the standings, with eleven points, which earned 120 points. He also competed in ten races in the Italian Formula Renault Championship. He placed 18th, on the podium with 37 points.
