Jake Hill will take to the Donington Park GP configuration this weekend, as the BTCC uses the layout for the first time since 2002, with Jake and the team aiming to keep their forward momentum going this weekend.

Jake will make the trip to Donington Park for the third time this season, with the venue playing host to the season-opener on the National configuration as well as the Goodyear Tyre Test at the beginning of July which allowed the drivers their first taste of the GP layout. 

Last time out at Knockhill, Jake collected a sensational second double-victory performance of the season with back-to-back successes in races one and two helping him climb up into P3 in the Drivers’ Championship with three rounds of the season to go.

Jake and the team have fond memories of Donington Park, having scored pole position in the season opener in 2022 before going on to claim victory in race three, and earlier this year Jake got his season off to a successful start as he claimed a second place in race one and the fastest lap in race three of the opening round of the year. 

Jake Hill and Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport head into round eight 3rd in the Drivers’ Championship, just thirteen points behind reigning champion Ingram, having collected four victories and eight podiums to take his tally of points up to 260 points. 

Jake, in his WSR-run BMW 330e M Sport, 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. 

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Hill said: “We’re all really excited and motivated for Donington Park this weekend! Heading into the final three rounds of the season, the year is reaching its crunch point and it’s time to maximise every session and every race – we can’t afford to leave anything out there! Knockhill was a fantastic weekend and the goal this weekend is to keep that winning momentum rolling into Donington Park.

“Heading onto the GP layout, it’s going to be a new challenge but one I’m really excited for and I think the layout will suit the characteristics of our rear-wheel drive BMW. WSR and Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport have had the car dialed in recently and my BMW 330e M Sport is feeling fantastic so a big thank you to them for their efforts!”
