We’re proud to support the future of British motorsport.

At Burnell, we’re delighted to sponsor Luca Hopkins, an incredibly driven and talented young rider competing in the 1P Mobile Junior Sportbike Championship.

Luca Hopkins is already making a significant impact, securing podium finishes and achieving an impressive 3rd overall in early rounds at Oulton Park and Donington Park. His determination, work ethic, and maturity set him apart both on and off the track.

What makes Luca’s story even more inspiring is his resilience. Balancing racing, work, and study, he has taken the initiative to secure his own sponsorship and opportunities, demonstrating a level of commitment well beyond his years.

At Burnell, we believe in backing people who show passion, ambition, and grit and Luca Hopkins embodies all three.

We’re excited to be part of his journey and look forward to seeing what the future holds as he continues to push for championship success.

Burnell are proud to have sponsored Árón Taylor-Smith Racing in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship since 2021 and moments like this remind us exactly why.

On 10th May 2026, our Sales Director Mark Osborne and Technical Director Jim Young were thrilled to be supporting trackside at our home ground, Brands Hatch.

What followed was nothing short of exceptional …

From P13 on the grid, Aron delivered an outstanding drive, battling through the field to take P1 in race two, beating off fierce competition to claim a well-earned victory. A phenomenal performance, showcasing skill, determination and the true spirit of BTCC racing.

With 21 drivers competing in the 2026 championship, Aron now sits 7th in the standings as we head into Rounds 7, 8 and 9 at Snetterton 300 in Norfolk on 23rd – 24th May, a circuit known for two of the longest straights in the country.

We wish Aron Taylor-Smith and Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport all the very best and you can catch all the action live on ITV4 this Sunday.

👏 Huge congratulations to Aron and the entire Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport team, we’re proud to be part of your journey!
