Oliver Bryant is a highly experienced GT driver and since becoming Autosport’s “one to watch” in 2004 he has competed in over 525 races, many at an international level and has notched up 150 wins in a variety of categories including the British GT Championship, Blancpain Endurance Series & high profile historic events including the Goodwood Revival, Classic Daytona 24 Hour, Silverstone Classic & Spa 6 hours.

Dailysportscar’s “rookie of the year” in 2005 impressed in every car he raced earning him “Rising Star” patronage of the British Racing Driver’s club in 2006, followed by full membership in 2009.

Career highlights include 4th place in the British GT championship in 2005 & 2006, 3rd place in the championship in 2013 and 3rd place in the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2014. Spa 24 hour Pro-AM podiums in 2014 & 2015 were followed by his Le Mans 24 hours debut in 2016 with a 9th place finish in the competitive GTE-AM class.Oliver’s goal is to win the Le Mans 24 hours and is regarded by teams and the motorsport press in the UK as truly competent driver with pace, race craft and maturity beyond his years; all of which is vital in endurance racing where reliability and consistency are as important as outright pace.

Oliver is a highly marketable young racing driver with the ability to promote brands and companies. In 2013 Oliver worked as a brand ambassador for BMW UK and has ongoing relationships with Bremont Chronometers, Close Brothers Property Finance & Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Ltd.

Oliver is also an ambassador for the Sean Edwards’ Foundation that works to improve safety standards for drivers throughout motorsport. Oliver is also a well-established driver coach working with other young drivers starting out in the lower ranks of GT racing.
