Oliver Bryant Racing

Olly Bryant joined his father Grahame in the Morgan +8 he’s campaigned since the 1970’s for a round of the Heritage Grand Touring Car Challenge at Snetterton.

Olly Bryant shared a 2010 Porsche 997 GT3R with Oliver Morley in the 2.5 hour GT race at Spa Francorchamps. Olly had tested the car in March but Oliver Morley had not driven the car before.

Olly was racing a 1969 Lola T70 Mk3b and claimed repeated his 2009 perdormance of claiming pole position with a 1m31.455s lap, just over 0.9s quicker than the later Abarth PA01 of Richard Evans.

Olly Bryant shared a Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 with his father Grahame in a 200 mile endurance race at the famous Road America circuit.

After two years of finishing in 4th place, the famous AC Cobra “GPG 4C” came home in 3rd place closely behind the rapid AC Cobra of David Hart, Rob Hall andJeroen Bleekemolen and the winning GT40 of Shaun Lynn and Andrew Haddon.

Barwell Motorsport featured strongly in the battle for honours during the latest round of the British GT Championship at Silverstone last weekend. Both the Aston Martin DBRS9 of Andrew Howard/Jamie Smyth and the Ginetta G50Z of Olly Bryant/Piers Johnson challenged for podium finishes on their way to eventual 5th and 6th places respectively, and Olly claimed the overall fastest lap of the race during his stint.

Bernie Chodosh once again organised a package for Historic racing cars from the UK and Europe to travel to the States and race alongside the HSR series that runs over there. Of the 16 cars which went along we took the trusty Morgan +8, 1 MOG, that has been raced by my father Grahame since the late 1970’s. For the last few seasons the car has enjoyed great success in the Heritage series that has supported the British GT Championship, which I have been racing in. This trip to Sebring in early March was to be my first time racing in the States, but not for Grahame who has raced in the Sebring 12 hours before, and the Daytona 24 hours. In the few days before the event, we travelled up to Daytona to enjoy some of the sites and sounds of Bike Week.

The Barwell Motorsport British GT squad brought our win tally up to 3 victories out of 8 races contested so far this season, with the Ginetta G50Z scoring no.3 in Sunday’s encounter at Snetterton with drivers Olly Bryant and Piers Johnson.

After the disappointment of electrical issues at Spa, Olly Bryant was looking for a decent result at Rockingham. This time Olly was sharing the Ginetta G50 Zytek with former Ginetta G50 GT4 class winner Joe Osborne.

Multiple British GT race-winner, Olly Bryant, has joined the Barwell Motorsport Ginetta G50Z-Zytek programme for a minimum of four British GT series races. Bryant, 23, will campaign the car at Spa, Rockingham, Snetterton and Silverstone, and will be joined in the last three events by experienced international GT racer, Piers Johnson. Barwell is currently in discussion with a number of interested parties regarding the seat available in the G50Z alongside Olly at Spa.
