Jake Hill will be hoping to return to form this weekend as the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship heads to Oulton Park.

Hill and his Laser Tools Racing team will be hoping that they can rediscover their 2024 title winning form and return to the top step of the podium once again.

Reigning champion Jake Hill, behind the wheel of the WSR-run BMW 330i M Sport, heads to Oulton Park looking to reignite his form after a turbulent start to the 2025 season. It’s been a year of highs and lows so far—the team climbed to the top step at Brands Hatch in Round Two, but has since endured difficult weekends at both Snetterton and Thruxton, falling short of the heights reached during the 2024 campaign.

A firm favourite on the BTCC calendar, Oulton Park in Cheshire combines breathtaking scenery with intense, wheel-to-wheel racing. First developed nearly 70 years ago, the circuit was expertly crafted into the natural contours of the landscape, and the BTCC has been a regular visitor ever since.

With its prime summer date, Oulton Park consistently attracts crowds of over 40,000 across the race weekend. Known for its vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere, the event often sees fans enjoying relaxed walkabouts with drivers and team members around the campsites.

In 2025, Oulton Park once again plays host to Rounds 13, 14, and 15 in its traditional June slot—the final stop before the BTCC heads into its annual mid-summer break.

The team has always enjoyed its visits to Oulton Park and holds an impressive record at the track. Across the previous six races, the squad has secured three wins and five podium finishes, reinforcing its status as a happy hunting ground.

This weekend, Jake Hill will once again pilot his BMW 330i M Sport, with the team carefully managing his TOCA Turbo Boost (TTB) deployment. Due to his fifth-place standing in the championship, Jake will have just 9 seconds of TTB available per lap in qualifying—deployable only above 130 kph—and will be permitted just 5 laps of hybrid usage in the opening 15-lap race on Sunday.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Hill said: “This weekend brings a fresh challenge as we head to Oulton Park – a circuit that’s a complete contrast to the fast, flowing nature of Thruxton. Our BMW 330i M Sport has a strong track record here, and with solid results over the past two years, I’m heading into the weekend feeling confident we can start to get our season back on track.

“Oulton Park is always a highlight on the calendar. It’s a fantastic circuit to drive – technical, demanding, and with little margin for error. The season so far hasn’t gone the way we’d hoped, but I’m optimistic this weekend can mark a turning point and allow us to start delivering the results we know we’re capable of.”
