Pace and promise but no podium at Silverstone - GT and Sports Car Cup

Saturday 30th May 2026

Olly shared with 2025 teammate Michael O’Sullivan in his lovely Lotus Elite. In the 20th anniversary season of GTSCC, Olly qualified the car 11th overall and on pole position in the GT2 class. Michael started the race and set into a good rhythm, battling in the top 3-4 places. Unfortunately, a spin in avoidance of a parked Austin Healey in a yellow flag zone cost the pair over 6 laps, whilst the car was recovered to the pits after refusing to re-start.

Once going again, Olly did a handful of laps, setting the GT2 fastest lap before handing back to Michael to gain more experience and get some extra laps under his belt. Michael was quickly “back on the horse” and set a string of fast laps before taking the chequered flag 10th in class.

Next outing is Anglesea on 27th June where the pair hope to once again be in the mix.
