Olly returns to the GT3 Podium at Silverstone with an old acquaintance!

Saturday 23rd August 2025

Olly was reunited with the ex- Ecurie Ecosse Barwell Motorsport BMW Z4 GT3 at the Silverstone Festival to take part in the new MRL GT3 Legends series. Having been re-commissioned by Pursuit Racing, Olly qualified the car in its first competitive session for 10 years. Olly’s time was good enough for P4 on the grid. Others fitted a second set of new tyres, whereas Olly carried over the qualifying tyres.

Although this compromised performance in the early laps, his race pace was very consistent and he brought the car home 3rd overall in the 50 minute encounter. The car ran faultlessly and 12 years since Olly won the Silverstone 500 sharing with Marco Attard, he was back onto the podium in the same car at the same circuit! Thanks to Euan Shand for his continued support in allowing chassis 1028 to continue adding to its impressive history.

Next outing is Paul Ricard this weekend, coming for 2.0L Cup and then Goodwood Revival.
