Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport is proud to announce the extension of its long-standing partnership with Gratte Brothers Group, marking a continuation of one of the most enduring relationships in British motorsport.
The renewed partnership represents a significant milestone, with the relationship between Gratte Brothers and Mark Blundell celebrating the 40th year of their partnership in 2026 - a phenomenal achievement and a sign of both parties' commitment.
Gratte Brothers was Mark’s first-ever corporate sponsor as he kickstarted his own junior racing career, and the family-run business has supported him throughout every chapter of his career, from his early racing days to his leadership role within motorsport today.
In recent seasons, the relationship has continued to evolve beyond branding, driven by meaningful engagement across Gratte’s regional offices, client hospitality at selected BTCC rounds, and ongoing B2B collaboration through MB Motorsport’s commercial network. Gratte Brothers is also a founding member of the MBP Official Partner Programme, joining more than forty industry-leading organisations focused on long-term partnership and shared values.
Building on this momentum, the partnership reached a new milestone last season with the delivery of Gratte Brothers’ first-ever trackside staff recognition day at Brands Hatch, underlining the people-first approach that has defined the relationship for decades. This internal reward day will be repeated and enlarged in scope and scale in 2026!
Mark Blundell, Founder of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport, said:
“The relationship with Gratte Brothers has been integral to my career, and it’s something I’m incredibly proud of. To look back at how this partnership began and see how it has grown over the years, now extending into motorsport and the wider MBP network, is genuinely special to me. I am ever grateful to Ian, David and all the Gratte family as they continue to share our ambitions.”
David Gratte, Group Managing Director of Gratte Brothers, added:
“Our partnership with Mark, MBP and now MB Motorsport has truly stood the test of time. As we celebrate a big year here at Gratte, our 80th anniversary as a business, we’re proud of the role this relationship has played in our journey and the engagement it continues to generate across our business. We’re excited to keep building on this success in 2026 and wish the entire team every success for the season ahead.”
