Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport are back in action this weekend as the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship heads to Snetterton, Norfolk for round three of the season.
Fresh off a strong showing at their home race at Brands Hatch Indy—where Jake Hill secured his first pole position and victory of the 2025 campaign—the team now turns its focus to Norfolk for the third round of the season.
Arriving at Snetterton full of focus and intent, Jake currently sits third in the Drivers’ Championship standings with 80 points, just 12 points behind the leader and will be looking to replicate his success at the circuit from 2024.
Snetterton’s 2.97-mile layout offers one of the most technical challenges on the calendar, featuring a mix of long straights, tight hairpins, and complex corner combinations. It’s a circuit that rewards a well-balanced car and a confident driver, and one that has delivered plenty of good memories in recent years, with Jake securing pole position and a brace of race victories there in 2024 on his way to his maiden championship title.
This weekend, Jake Hill will pilot his WSR-run BMW 330i M Sport, and the team will need to skillfully manage his TOCA Turbo Boost (TTB) deployment. Due to his third-place championship standings, he will have only 5 seconds per lap of TTB available during qualifying—deployable at a minimum speed of 135 KPH—and 3 laps of hybrid usage permitted in the opening 12-lap race on Sunday.
Round three begins on Saturday with two free practice sessions followed by qualifying at 15:10, which can be watched live on the ITV Sport YouTube channel. All three races take place on Sunday, with live coverage available on ITV4 and online at ITVX. Sunday’s triple-header races are scheduled to start at 11:30 (BST), 14:20, and 16:55 respectively. Live timing for all sessions is available here.
Jake Hill, Driver, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport:
“We’ve had a solid start to the year and I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel after the improvements made at Brands Hatch. Snetterton will bring a fresh challenge to the 2025 season. With a mix of fast straights and tight corners, getting the balance of the car will be key. Everything we do in those practice sessions will be crucial for our setup across the weekend.”
Mark Blundell, Sporting Director, MB Motorsport:
“Jake and the team have shown improvements and composure so far this season, and we’re really pleased with the foundation we’ve built following a great weekend at Brands Hatch. Snetterton will be another key opportunity to keep this recent form going. We’re all hungry for more silverware and determined to make every point count to be back at the sharp end of the grid.”
