Oliver Bryant's Profile

Oliver Bryant is a highly experienced GT driver, and since becoming Autosport’s “one to watch” in 2004, he has competed in over 750 races, many at an international level and has notched up 232 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. An even stronger finish at Le Mans followed in 2017 with a 4th place GTE-AM finish at the wheel of the Beechdean Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE. Oliver’s goal is to win the Le Mans 24 hours, and he is regarded by teams and the motorsport press in the UK as a truly competent driver with pace, race craft and maturity beyond his years, all of which are vital in endurance racing where reliability and consistency are as important as outright pace. Oliver is a triple 2.0L Cup champion, having won the title in 2018 and 2022 alongside Andrew Smith and again in 2024 alongside Kyle Tilley.

Oliver is also an ambassador for the Sean Edwards Foundation, which works to improve safety standards for drivers throughout motorsport. Oliver is also a well-established driver coach and vehicle development driver who works with both young and more seasoned amateur drivers to improve their skills and ability to compete successfully in their chosen formula.
