MB MOTORSPORT ACCELERATED BY BLUE SQUARE BACK ON TRACK AT SNETTERTON
MB Motorsport accelerated by Blue Square are thrilled to be back on track this week at the two-day Goodyear tyre test at Snetterton Circuit, across the 7th and 8th of July.
It will mark the first running for the team since the successful season launch event in March and will kickstart the team’s delayed maiden campaign in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship ahead of the season opener at Donington next month.
Across the two days, all three of the team’s drivers will get behind the wheel of the Honda Civic Type R. Jake Hill and Sam Osborne take to the track on Tuesday with Esmee Hawkey, the team’s Official Development Driver, joining Sam on Wednesday.

After a sixteen week track hiatus, the official two-day test provides only the team's second official outing on track alongside its fellow BTCC competitors as attention turns to the new season drawing ever closer.
