JAKE HILL TO DEPART LASER TOOLS RACING WITH MB MOTORSPORT AND THE BTCC

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport announces that the team will be parting ways with Jake Hill at the end of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season as the reigning champion embarks on the next chapter in his international racing career.

The announcement marks the end of the partnership between Jake Hill and MB Motorsport, which commenced in 2020 and has been filled with success, victories, and plenty of fun ever since. 

Jake’s association with the team formally commenced at the tail end of 2019, having worked as teammates with Mark Blundell during the former Formula One driver’s maiden campaign in the championship. Heading into 2020, MB Motorsport was formed and entered the UK’s premier racing series with Jake being afforded the opportunity to lead the team’s on-track charge in every season since.

In the time that has followed, the combination has racked up a total of 62 podiums, 22 race victories and one memorable Drivers’ Championship success.

The combination became even more potent in 2023 with the alliance formed between Laser Tools Racing and MB Motorsport – two organisations with a proven track record of helping to champion and develop some of the UK’s top young racing drivers.

In that period alone, supported by the engineering excellence of Craig Porley, the management support of MBP and the operational support of WSR, Jake and Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport have become one of the championship’s main protagonists, with Jake claiming his maiden BTCC Drivers’ Championship in a memorable and dramatic season finale at Brands Hatch in 2024.

Having achieved so much together, the conclusion of the 2025 season brings new challenges for Jake. Thanks to his fantastic performances on track and the excellent support of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, Jake now has the opportunity to achieve another of his lifelong career ambitions – by forging his own professional racing career internationally, with an exciting programme to be announced in due course. 

This marks an excellent achievement for Jake, highlighting how his domestic performances in the BTCC have enabled him to take his career to the next level. Further, it marks a testament to the work of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport and how its BTCC platform has been used as the launchpad for one of the UK’s top racing drivers.

With 2026 in mind, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport reiterates its commitment to the British Touring Car Championship and to providing opportunities to support talented drivers in building and developing their careers in the same way that Jake has. The team is excited to reveal its 2026 programme plans and driver line-up in the not-so-distant future.
