Jake Hill heads to the home of British motorsport to tackle the Silverstone National circuit as he looks to keep the podium momentum rolling into round nine of the 2023 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.
Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport and their WSR-run BMW 330e M Sport will make the trip to tackle the 1.6-mile National configuration of Silverstone. Renowned for its simplistic layout, with three straights and three corners, the venue offers plenty of overtaking opportunities around each lap.
Last time out at Donington Park on the GP layout, Jake battled hard across all three races to secure a brace of podium finishes, resulting in a healthy points haul for the team.
Jake and the team have good memories of Silverstone, having secured a race win and a podium finish in a fantastic display of driving ability from Jake in 2022 which would also see him set the outright lap record for the circuit in the midst of his final race charge that day.
Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport and Jake Hill head into the penultimate round of the season 3rd in the Drivers’ Championship on 300 points, 20 points behind reigning champion Ingram and a further 62 behind leader Sutton after collecting four wins and six podium finishes across the season so far.
Jake will be looking to continue to close the gap in the championship fight this weekend as he aims to score big points and fight for race wins and podiums.
Speaking ahead of the weekend, Hill said: “I can’t wait to hit the track at Silverstone, we had some great success here last year with the victory, podium and lap record! We need to keep the momentum rolling into these last two rounds of the season and I’ll be giving it everything I have to be battling it out at the front of the field once more.”
“The team have been working hard this season to really dial the car in with each passing round and my 330e M Sport has been feeling fantastic so I’m raring to go this weekend.”
