Briggs Equipment is delighted to announce its partnership with Árón Taylor-Smith as he prepares for another season in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Entering his twelfth season, Taylor-Smith will race with the championship-winning Laser Tools Racing team with MB Motorsport, bringing experience, skill, and determination to the 2026 grid.
Árón Taylor-Smith is one of the BTCC’s most widely followed drivers. The Irish racer, who claimed the 2024 BTCC Independent Championship, has achieved multiple race victories and more than 25 podium finishes over his career. With over a decade of experience in the series, he has consistently been a standout performer, and his move to Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport is expected to further elevate his performance and profile.
Leigh Edgley, Managing Director – Materials Handling Equipment at Briggs Equipment, said:
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Árón in the exciting world of BTCC. He is not only an outstanding professional on the track but also a true ambassador off it. This partnership is built on shared passion, performance, and success, and we look forward to a thrilling 2026 season with him and the championship-winning Laser Tools team.”
The collaboration will provide customers and staff with unique opportunities to experience the BTCC first-hand, while also supporting charitable initiatives. The partnership reflects Briggs’ ongoing commitment to people, community, and performance.
Taylor-Smith added:
I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Briggs Equipment back into my 2026 BTCC campaign with Laser Tools Racing. They’ve played a hugely important role in my journey in the British Touring Car Championship, and I’m incredibly excited to continue building on that as we head into a new season”.
