Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport added more silverware to its 2026 BTCC campaign at Knockhill, with Gordon Shedden delivering a podium and Independent victory in front of his home crowd, while Árón Taylor-Smith battled hard for further championship points. Arriving in Scotland with a race victory already secured by each of its drivers this season, the team had every reason to feel confident — and Shedden quickly gave the Knockhill faithful something to cheer about.

Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport returned to BTCC action after the summer break at Thruxton, banking another healthy haul of championship points despite a weekend that never quite reflected the pace of the two-car team. Arriving in Hampshire with confidence high, the team had already enjoyed an encouraging start to 2026, with Gordon Shedden and Árón Taylor-Smith sharing two race wins, three podiums and four Independent victories across the opening four rounds.
