Society Ambassadors - Oliver Jarvis in profile

Lives: Burwell, Cambridgeshire

Date of Birth: 9 January 1984

Nationality: English

Oliver was first introduced to motorsport from an early age when his father, Carl Jarvis, was competing in Formula Ford 1600. Keen to try it for himself, and at just six years old, Oliver enjoyed his first motorcross competition, albeit then two wheels not four. At the age of eight, Oliver made the transition to race karts. During his 10 years in karts, he achieved notable success in British and European events, as well as in World Karting as a TonyKart Works Driver.

Oliver moved from European Karting when he was 18 to the highly competitive British single seater car championships racing in the Formula Ford category for two successful seasons before moving up to Formula Renault. 2005 proved to be an outstanding year of achievements for Oliver when he became the 2005 UK Formula Renault Champion having gained 5 wins, 7 podiums, 4 pole positions and 3 ELF /Atol Driver of the Day Awards. He was also awarded BRDC Rising Star Status. Oliver’s perfect end to the year was receiving the prestigious McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver Award last December presented to him by Sir Stirling Moss.

For 2007, Oliver will be making his debut in the All Japan F3 Championship driving for the reigning championship winning team TOM'S Toyota. He will combine this with his role as one of two drivers representing Team Great Britain in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport.
