For a while, he concentrated on his own Woodbury Park golf course, frequently playing golf, including pro-am tournaments and senior's golf. But he sold the course lately and moved away from Devon. He still partakes in historic and special events, winning the first GP Masters event and took part in FIA GT. He now races in endurance events, and as both his sons are racing now and Nigel advises, supports and even races alongside them. Also is President of UK Youth and it was for this role that he was awarded a CBE in the New Year's Honours in 2012.
