Martin Gibson Making Heralded Return to Team Oliver Racing
Giti Tire Motorsport is revving up for the 2025 British Truck Racing Championship (BTRC), maintaining its winning position as Exclusive Tyre Supplier and Team Oliver Racing’s principal sponsor.
This season also sees the heralded return of Martin Gibson, Giti Tire’s Manager—European Test Centre. He joins Stuart and Martin Oliver in a three-truck Giti-liveried line-up.
Gibson, who competed from 2019 to 2021, made a significant impact with multiple podium trips and a third-place overall finish in his final season. After stepping away to explore other motorsport opportunities, Martin will now take control of Team Oliver Racing’s #101 truck.
Seventh-Year Sponsoring Team Oliver Racing
This year marks Giti’s seventh sponsorship of Team Oliver Racing and fourth as an exclusive tyre supplier. Giti Compete Race-Tuned v1 truck tyres in size 315/70R22.5 will fit all competition trucks.
Beyond providing high-performance tyres, the manufacturer will also be present with its dedicated race support team, at each meeting. They’ll be offering every team assistance with tyre fitting and expert advice.
The seven-meeting season starts at Brands Hatch on the 19th and 20th of April. It includes Convoy in the Park, Donington in August, and Le Mans in September.
Giti Tire Motorsport will underpin this year’s activity with its co-branding agreement as Sparco®’s global automotive tyre partner. The partnership is built on their shared values of racing, performance, research and development, and continuous safety.
Gibson said, “I am very excited to return to Team Oliver Racing. I have competed in plenty of different championships, but nothing quite matches the excitement of British Truck Racing.”
“We take everything we learn from our global truck motorsport involvement from the racetrack to improve our everyday truck and bus tyre portfolios, and what better way than taking the tyres to their absolute limits and being able to feedback first-hand my thoughts and experiences.”
Stefan Brohs, Giti Tire’s Marketing Director in Europe, added, “Throughout our marketing programmes, consistency is key, and our long-term partnerships with Team Oliver Racing and the BTRC have been nothing but positive for our truck and bus operations.”
“At each meeting, we realise great interaction with fleet owners and their teams, truck drivers and enthusiasts, and our customers have given us nothing but positive feedback from their own experiences at races and out on the road. 2025 promises to be extra special with the return of Martin in the cockpit of #101, and no doubt this will be illustrated in the extensive coverage we receive through TV, socials and print.”
