Oliver Jarvis Rejoins Era Motorsport LMP2 Lineup for Hometown Battle on the Bricks

Jarvis returns to Era Motorsport for the first time since the 2023 Rolex 24 at Daytona, piloting the No. 18 Oreca 07 Gibson LMP2 alongside Tobias Lütke and David Heinemeier Hansson

Era Motorsport is excited to welcome back 2022 IMSA Champion Oliver Jarvis, who will rejoin the No. 18 Oreca 07 LMP2 beginning with the TireRack.com Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, September 19–21, 2025.

The team is pleased to have the FIA Platinum-rated driver back for the remainder of the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IWSC). Jarvis will join Tobias Lütke and David Heinemeier Hansson in the No. 18 for both the Battle on the Bricks at Indianapolis and the season-ending Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October.

Alongside his 2022 IWSC DPi championship, Jarvis brings two LMP2-class victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and numerous podiums across IMSA, the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the European Le Mans Series to Era’s driver lineup.

The Battle on the Bricks is a special event for Era Motorsport, taking place not only at the “World Capital of Racing” but also just a short drive from the team’s headquarters in Westfield, Indiana.

Era Motorsport is also taking part in IMSA’s Resiliant Racers program at Indianapolis to help celebrate and support the children and families affected by pediatric cancer and other serious diseases. The No. 18 will sport Melody H.’s name below the drivers on the side of the car to celebrate her 11th year since overcoming the cancer she was diagnosed with at just 10 months old.

The No. 18 Era Motorsport Oreca 07 LMP2 will take the green flag at 11:40 a.m. ET on Sunday, September 21, for a six-hour race around the 2.439-mile (3.925 km) Indianapolis Motor Speedway Grand Prix Road Course.
