Carrier extends racing sponsorship

Driver Jake Hill with the Carrier-sponsored BMW 330i M Sport challenger

UK: Carrier Commercial HVAC is to continue its support for Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport during the 2025 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season. 

Building on a championship-winning 2024 campaign, Carrier is once again partnering with the team that it has supported since 2023 as they prepare to take on this year’s races.

This season, Carrier will support Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport’s BMW 330i M Sport challenger, which now runs on fully sustainable fossil-free fuel, across all 10 rounds of the 2025 BTCC season which begins next month.

The Carrier logo will feature prominently on the car’s front corners and on the racing overalls of MB Motorsport driver, Jake Hill.

Carrier sees the BTCC as a means to raising awareness of its intelligent HVAC solutions. 

“Carrier has been an incredible partner throughout our championship-winning 2024 season, and we are delighted to have them on board again for 2025,” said Mark Blundell, former Formula 1 driver and sporting director of Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport. 

“They have become a true partner in every sense way beyond our BTCC programme. In the last twelve months that has involved enlisting their support with our new London office, introducing them to many of our fellow commercial partners and even running our first-ever staff recognition day together at Silverstone last year.”

Carrier’s involvement in the BTCC also offers valuable opportunities to collaborate with other businesses via Mark Blundell’s MBP sports marketing agency and its Official Partner Programme network, helping companies meet their heating and cooling needs while reducing their environmental impact.
