Brendon John Cook (born 27 December 1970 in Belmont, Newcastle, Australia), is a former race driver, racing mainly in Australia, but also in Europe.
He started racing at the age of 16 in Karts, winning club titles there and moved into Formula Ford in Britain. He raced 4 times in the British Junior series, which ran the same races as the outright series, but for different points. The highlight for him would have been out qualifying eventual Formula One driver David Coulthard. After an unsuccessful season of Formula 3 in Switzerland in 1990, he returned to Australia and competed in various club racing including Formula Ford, , HQ Holdens and Karts. He made a brief return to Europe in 1996 for British Formula Ford and 1998 to compete in one round of the Benelux Formula Opel series and the EFDA Nations Cup in the Netherlands. In 2002 he ran in the Australian Formula Two Championship where he finished 8th and took out the Rookie of the Year award. He returned for one race in 2011 in the Formula R class at Eastern Creek.
Season 1995 saw an introduction to Production Cars in the Eastern Creek 12 Hour, but a blown head gasket saw them not start. He ventured to the Nurburgring 24 Hour in a Peugeot in 1996, but did not finish. From there he moved to the Australian Mitsubishi Mirage series and competed in the Bathurst 2 hour race finishing 3rd in Class B. 2004–05 he raced a Citroën Xsara in the NSW Combined Touring Car Championship, winning the State Championship in his class. He raced a BMW in the 2006, and a Holden Vectra in the 2007Australian Production Car Championship. 2009 saw him join the Bargwanna Motorsport team in the Australian Mini Challenge.
