Nicolas Mélin is a Bronze-graded amateur endurance racing driver competing in multiclass LMP3 prototype racing. He raced for Racing Experience across four seasons from 2017 to 2020, with 13 starts split between Road to Le Mans and Le Mans Cup, a pair of international championships that mixed amateur and semi-professional drivers with graded professionals in shared-car endurance events.[1]
Mélin typically finished behind the established competitors he met regularly. He raced multiple times against Anthony Wells, a Bronze-graded professional with 40 Le Mans Cup starts to his name, and Colin Noble, a Gold-graded entry-level professional with 47 Le Mans Cup entries; in both cases the head-to-head records favoured his rivals. His most notable results came against drivers who went on to establish themselves at higher levels: he finished ahead of Alexander Mattschull, who became Le Mans Cup LMP3 champion in 2022, twice across their meetings, and ahead of Michael Jensen, who won the 2025 Asian Le Mans Series, once.[2]
