TEAM OLIVER RACING – BRANDS HATCH SEASON FINALE RACE REPORT

The 2025 British Truck Racing Championship came to a thrilling conclusion at Brands Hatch, where Team Oliver Racing wrapped up the season with determination, teamwork, and plenty of silverware.

DAY ONE – FAST STARTS AND TEAM SPIRIT

Saturday morning’s qualifying session set the tone for the weekend, with all three drivers putting in strong performances:

Martin Gibson – P4

Stuart Oliver – P5

Michael Oliver – P9

In Race One, all three trucks delivered impressive results. Stuart and Martin made great starts, pushing hard from the opening lap. After some brilliant wheel-to-wheel racing, Stuart claimed his first podium of the weekend in P3, with Martin close behind in P4, and Michael charging through the pack to take P5. A fantastic team result to kick off the finale weekend!

However, Race Two brought drama early on. Multiple incidents on the first lap caused a red flag, and unfortunately, Michael was caught up in the chaos, sustaining significant damage to the side of his truck. Thankfully, he was completely fine, but the truck wasn’t.

What followed was a truly incredible effort from the whole Team Oliver Racing team, working

tirelessly late into the night to repair and rebuild Michael’s No.12 truck. By morning, it was fully restored, repainted, and race-ready once again, a real testament to the skill, determination, and commitment that defines this team.

DAY TWO – STRONG FINISHES TO END THE SEASON

With Michael’s truck back on track, the team headed into Race Three, the first reverse-grid contest of the weekend. Michael lined up on the second row, with Stuart and Martin right behind. All three made strong starts, keeping their cool amid mid-pack drama. Stuart powered his way to another P3 podium, Michael followed closely in P4, and Martin brought it home in P9.

In Race Four, the competition was fierce once again. Stuart and Martin battled nose-to-tail

throughout, finishing P4 and P5 respectively, while Michael secured a solid P7 to continue his consistent run of results.

The final race of the season, Race Five, played out in front of a packed Brands Hatch crowd. A red flag restart added to the tension, and once the racing resumed, the action was relentless. Stuart suffered an unfortunate spin but showed great determination to recover to P15. Michael delivered a fantastic drive, fighting hard in the lead group to claim an outstanding P2 finish. Martin rounded off the weekend with another strong and steady P7.
