Oliver "Oli" James Webb (born 20 March 1991 in Manchester) is a British auto racing driver. 2004 Karting Champion, 2007 Formula BMW Scholarship winner, 2010 Formula 3 championship 3rd position, 2014 European Le mans series Champion, 2015 Dubai 24hour Champion
Webb began his career in karting at the age of nine, progressing up through the ranks in the Greater Manchester karting scene with the help of management from British Touring Car Championship driver Michael Bentwood. With more experience, Webb started to win races at the Three Sisters Karting Circuit in Wigan, eventually winning that circuit's Mini Max Championship in 2004. He finished fourth in the Junior Max Championship in 2005, combining that with a season in T Cars.
Webb moved into T Cars with Graham Hathaway Engineering in 2005, combining the campaign with schoolwork and his karting career. He continued into the 2005 Autumn Trophy, finishing second to Adrian Quaife-Hobbs. He finished third in the 2006 main series, winning three races, a non-championship double-header at Brands Hatch, and achieved a record seven fastest laps in a season.
At the conclusion of the 2006 season, Bentwood entered Webb into the Formula BMW Scholarship Programme where drivers had the opportunity to be awarded with a financial contribution towards their racing budget, and an education and coaching programme from BMW Motorsport. Webb was one of the six chosen drivers for the scholarship, moving into Formula BMW UK in 2007. Webb drove for Carlin Motorsport, alongside Henry Surtees. Webb finished ninth in the championship, despite not finishing on the podium in any of the twenty races.
