Northumberland racing duo in British Truck Racing final

Stuart and Michael Oliver from Hexham, who compete together as Team Oliver Racing, will take on the final round at Brands Hatch from October 31 to November 1.

Stuart Oliver, who made his racing debut in 1998, is a 10-time British Truck Racing Champion and former European champion, and currently sits second in the standings. His son Michael is in fourth place.

Team Oliver Racing has recorded eight race wins this season across circuits including Donington Park, Snetterton, and Le Mans.

The pair compete in five-tonne trucks reaching speeds of up to 100mph.

Stuart Oliver said: "We’ve had a really good season so far and it’s great to be heading into the final in such a strong position.

"Brands Hatch always has a fantastic atmosphere and we’ll be giving it everything we’ve got to finish the season on a high."

Michael Oliver, who began racing competitively in 2016, said: "It’s been a great season for us, and hopefully we can continue to give the fans plenty to cheer about at Brands Hatch."

The team is supported by ODYSSEY batteries, which power their high-performance racing trucks.

Michael Oliver said: "When you’re racing at this level, it’s important to have complete confidence in every part of the truck and its components.

"We’ve used ODYSSEY batteries for many years because we know we can rely on their performance when we need it. They’ve never let us down."

ODYSSEY batteries are manufactured by EnerSys.

Sabine Lejeune, sales director EMEA Transportation at EnerSys, said: "We’re proud of our 10-year partnership with Team Oliver Racing.

"We’ve seen some fantastic performances from Team Oliver Racing over the years, and we’ll be behind the father and son duo once again as they head into the championship finale."

The team also uses the ODYSSEY Connect battery monitoring system to track battery health and performance through an app.
