Post-karting career

After winning the Karting World Championships at just 17yrs of age, Oakes moved over to Formula BMW racing, with the backing of Red Bull Racing. In his first race at Brands Hatch on 9 April 2006, Oakes won the race after getting pole in qualifying. Oakes finished 6th overall in the Formula BMW UK Championship after missing several rounds due to European commitments with Red Bull racing in the European Championship and took a 5th in Le Mans and 7th in Barcelona respectively.

This made Oliver the title favourite after he signed to Join Motopark for the 2007 season. However, after topping the pre-season tests the team struggled to adjust to the new aero kit and although he had some podiums during the year it was much below expectation.

During the winter Oliver tested World Series by Renault cars for Comtec and Tech 1, putting up some impressive times. However, after feeling World Series in 2008 was not the right step, he decided to sign for Eurotek Motorsport to compete in the ultra competitive and highly regarded British Formula 3 Championship. Although it is a new team and they were on the back feet after missing the pre-season testing and many races Oliver is confident with the personnel from all aspects of motorsport behind him they will be fighting for podiums towards the end of the year. This never materialised as Oakes finished nineteenth in the championship after they only entered the final 3 rounds. He did take an impressive pole position at the final round at Donington.

He moved to Carlin Motorsport for his 2009 campaign, but after a dispute with the team, decided to part company with the team before the Rockingham rounds of the series.

After being on the sidelines for most of 2009 Oakes undertook some testing commitments for manufacturers and made a last minute appearance in GP3 during 2010 to assist new Team Atech CRS.
