Carrier extends racing partnership

UK – Carrier will continue its commercial partnership with Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport for the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season, marking the fourth consecutive year of collaboration between the two organisations.

To celebrate the occasion, Carrier joined Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport at the team official launch Event in Shoreditch, London. Exclusive programme members got a first glimpse of the new cars before the Toyota Corollas and their liveries were revealed to the world alongside the programme partners, drivers and team management.

Following a strong 2025 campaign, the partnership will see Carrier remain a key supporter of the team as it embarks on a programme featuring new drivers, new cars and expanded engagement activity across the BTCC calendar.

Led by Sporting Director Mark Blundell and Technical Advisor and Race Engineer Craig Porley, Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport will field a new driver line-up for the upcoming season. Three-time BTCC Champion Gordon Shedden joins the team, bringing extensive experience and a proven race-winning pedigree. He will be joined by Árón Taylor-Smith, a multiple BTCC race winner and former Independent Champion, returning to the series with strong potential to challenge at the front of the grid.

Away from the circuit, Carrier has confirmed it will attend six customer days during the season, offering clients and partners exclusive access to the team and paddock environment. Two dedicated Carrier friends and family days will also take place, providing behind-the-scenes experiences for staff and their families.
