'Crazy' 24 Hours for BTCC Star Hill'

With the announcement on 11th February that he had been inducted into the prestigious British Racing Driver's Club (BRDC) 'Superstars' programme for 2020, followed by one of the most significant developments in recent British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) history, that F1 Star and Le Mans winner Mark Blundell has formed MB Motorsport to head Hill's BTCC team, the Kent-based 25 year-old has hailed the level of interest and interaction in the past 24 hours as 'completely crazy!'

'Of course Shaun (Hollamby, MB Motorsport Team Principal) had told us that this deal was progressing, but to see this finally all come together is so exciting, and will see the team move onto a whole-new level. I absolutely loved working with Mark last year, learned so much, and of course have been very close to Shaun and the rest of the team for many years now. I am determined to put every possible effort in both on and off track, and look forward to seeing what Sam (Osborne) and me can do in what has made a Championship-winning package even stronger still.'

​Being chosen as one of only 13 young drivers, and only one of 2 BTCC drivers (alongside former champion Ashley Sutton) for the BRDC Superstars came as a welcome surprise, and one that holds huge importance to Hill.

Having been part of the British Racing Driver's Club (BRDC) 'Rising Stars' programme since he was 16 years-old, BTCC race-winner Jake Hill was delighted to be elected as a full-member of the world's oldest and most prestigious  motorsport club last year, having scored significant results in BTCC, Porsche Carerra Cup and British GT.
 
The 25 year-old Hill joins the Elite of young drivers hailing from the UK & Commonwealth as he is inducted as one of the select few 'Superstar' drivers as recognised by the BRDC.
 
In recent years Formula One stars including Lando Norris, Alex Albon and George Russell have been part of this programme, Hill being incredibly honoured to join fellow BTCC driver Ashley Sutton amongst others.

"Some of the drivers that have been part of the programme in the past read as a who's-who of motorsport. To be recognised as one of a handful of drivers that are on the verge of establishing themselves as top-line professionals in our amazing sport is such an honour' said Hill.
