Jake Hill brings the curtain down on this chapter of his Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship this weekend at his home circuit of Brands Hatch.

The 2024 champion announced that he will be leaving the BTCC and MB Motorsport as he heads to race internationally for 2026. Before he does that though he will be trying to secure third place in the championship in front of his friends, family and adoring fans.

This year’s season finale carries special significance for the team, as Jake Hill makes his final appearance in the series after a glittering BTCC career that has delivered 62 podiums, 22 race wins, and a memorable Drivers’ Championship title in 2024.

The 2.43-mile Brands Hatch GP circuit holds particular importance as the home track for both Hill and the team. Since forming their successful technical partnership with WSR in 2022, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport have consistently impressed at Brands Hatch GP,  securing six podium finishes in the last nine races, including two standout victories.

Heading into the weekend, Jake sits fourth in the standings, just four points behind Dan Cammish, and is aiming to secure third place in the championship despite having missed the Croft round due to illness.

This weekend, Jake will be piloting his #1 WSR-run BMW 330i M Sport with the team once again, carefully managing his TOCA Turbo Boost (TTB) deployment. With Jake jumping up to fourth in the standings following Silverstone, he will have 7 seconds of TTB available per lap in qualifying—deployable only above 130 kph—and will now be permitted 4 laps of boost usage in the opening 15-lap race on Sunday morning.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Hill said: “This weekend will definitely be an emotional one as I make my final appearance for Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport in the BTCC, and doing so at my home track feels like the perfect farewell.

“We head into the round in good form as we’ve closed the gap to third place in the championship. And the goal for this weekend is to secure that third place! I’ve proudly called the BTCC home for almost a decade, and I can’t wait to get out there, give it everything I’ve got, and close out a brilliant chapter for both myself and the team.”
