context_page_description: Oliver "Oli" James Webb is a British auto racing driver. He is a 2004 Karting Champion, 2007 Formula BMW Scholarship winner, 2010 Formula 3 competitor, 2014 European Le Mans series Champion, 2015 Dubai 24 Hour Champion, and W Motors Ambassador.
context_section_description: He moved to the British Formula Renault Championship to compete in the Winter Series in 2007. Competing for Fortec Motorsport, Webb finished fifteenth in the four-race series, with a best race result of eleventh at Croft. Webb continued his progression up the British motorsport ladder, by moving into the main British series for the 2008 season. Staying with Fortec, Webb finished every single race in the points en route to eighth in the overall championship. His best result was fourth place at round seventeen, at Silverstone. He finished third in the Graduates Cup for first-year drivers, behind Dean Stoneman and James Calado.
  Webb competed in three other Formula Renault series during the season, competing in the Northern European Cup, and the British and Portuguese Winter Series championships. In the NEC, he recorded a fourth-place finish at Spa, and added a twelfth at Zolder to wind up 25th in the standings. In the UK Winter Series, Webb finished fourth overall in the four-race series, finishing on the podium at Rockingham. A retirement in the second race cost him a top-three championship spot. Finally, he finished as runner-up to team-mate Calado in the Portuguese Winter Series, with the two taking all four victories, Calado with three and Webb with one.
  In 2009, Webb returned for a second season in Formula Renault UK. Consistency was the key for Webb, as he finished all but one race of the season, winning two races at Brands Hatch and at Silverstone. Webb was never outside the top-five in the championship standings, leading the championship after fourteen races before falling behind Dean Smith and Calado later in the season. Webb achieved ten podiums over the course of the season. He also made his first foray into the Eurocup, taking part in the rounds in Barcelona and at Le Mans.
