MB Motorsport and BTCC front-runner Jake Hill have today (1 February) revealed a striking new title partnership with automotive tools specialists, Laser Tools, which will see Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport take to the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship grid in 2023.

With Laser Tools Racing having forged a glowing reputation in Britain’s premier motorsport series since its inception in 2014, both parties are united in their bid to embark on a fully-fledged title assault in the upcoming 2023 campaign, with Hill behind the wheel of the WSR-run BMW 330e M Sport – a combination that proved so potent in its debut campaign last year.

“We have been very impressed with the team at MB Motorsport and we feel that Jake Hill is a future BTCC Champion,” said Martin Smith, Chairman of Laser Tools. “Mark Blundell has demonstrated that the synergy between Laser Tools Racing and MB Motorsport is already obvious. We are proud to be still competing in the BTCC and very much looking forward to what is sure to be a very exciting year for us.”

“It is a hugely exciting moment for the MB Motorsport organisation to announce our new title partners in the shape of Laser Tools as we ramp up our preparations for 2023,” added Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport Sporting Director, Mark Blundell. “Laser Tools Racing has already achieved so much within the series and we are proud to be carrying that baton forward now. Our discussions have been very productive right from the start and I cannot wait to see what Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport can achieve this year!”

“When I was told this news, I was massively surprised but completely thrilled too,” concluded Hill. “Laser Tools Racing has a proud history in the BTCC and I cannot wait to fly the flag for them in the series this year. They’re a brand completely synonymous with everything that is so good about the championship and I know that the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport combination will prove to be a really strong one this year.”
