Jake Hill will enjoy the benefit of stability for the 2024 British Touring Car Championship season, as the title contender remains at Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport in a BMW 330e M Sport run by West Surrey Racing.
It will be 29-year-old Hill’s third consecutive season in the WSR-built BMW, a partnership which has already yielded nine victories (six of them in 2023) and taken Hill to third overall in the drivers’ standings for the past two seasons.
Hill will continue to lead the team’s campaign in what will be Laser Tools’ tenth year on the BTCC grid, with the outfit planning to reveal ‘further plans to fans at the first opportunity’.
“It is amazing to have everything lined up for 2024 already, this is the earliest I have ever managed to pull everything together and my thanks go out to everyone at Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport for making another year together possible,” said Hill, a 12-time BTCC winner.
“The combination of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, WSR and the BMW 330e M Sport proved to be a winning one last time out and I am encouraged with all the work going on behind the scenes that we can go even better in 2024.
“It’s a big year for everyone at Laser Tools Racing as they celebrate ten years in the BTCC so it’s a privilege to be the one chosen to represent them in 2024.
“Rest assured me and the whole team will be giving it our all to make it a year to remember for everyone.”
Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport Sporting Director Mark Blundell believes that lessons learned in the previous two seasons can help Hill to title success next year.
“I think anyone who knows the BTCC knows just how important continuity and stability are to delivering a winning operation on and off the track,” added Blundell.
“It’s fantastic to bring everything together so that everyone can focus on the task at hand and raise our standards into 2024.
“My sincere thanks go out to everyone at Laser Tools and Tool Connection for trusting in MB Motorsport to be their partner of choice on the BTCC grid.
“Jake had a great season in 2023 – his pace is clear for all to see and we know we have learnt some lessons which we can put to good effect next season to make us even stronger.
“We are also delighted to be continuing to work with Dick Bennetts’ WSR and BMW. We have enjoyed two years of success together so far and I know how motivated everyone is to go even better in 2024.”
WSR Team Principal Dick Bennetts is looking forward to working with Hill for a third successive season.
“We’re very pleased to extend our partnership with Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport for another year and to have Jake Hill once again behind the wheel of one of our BMW 330e M Sports,” said Bennetts.
“Over the past two seasons, he has proven himself to be one of the most skilled and committed drivers in the field and been a regular race winner and podium finisher, while our relationship with Mark Blundell and MB Motorsport has gone from strength to strength. We have very high hopes for what can be achieved together in 2024.”
