Gordon Shedden completes MB Motorsport line-up

MB Motorsport has completed its driver line-up for the 2026 British Touring Car Championship season, with three-time title winner Gordon Shedden joining Aron Taylor-Smith at Laser Tools-backed squad.

Capping off what has been a busy week for the newly expanded team, the Scotsman will remain behind the wheel of the Speedworks Motorsport-prepared Toyota Corolla GR Sport that led him to victory at Oulton Park this year.

Boasting an impressive résumé, Shedden has a total of 53 wins to his name in the UK’s premier motorsport series, placing him fifth on the all-time winners list.

“I am thrilled to be joining the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport team for 2026 – there’s something that just feels right about a Scotsman donning those iconic blue and white colours,” said Shedden.

“Buoyed by the way that I ended the season in the Corolla last year, I’m heading into the new season hugely motivated and ready to take the fight to the next level.

“It’s a huge benefit to have our plans in place so early so our planning and preparation can start in earnest – I owe a lot of gratitude to my personal partners and the Laser Tools Racing with MB Motorsport partners in making that possible.

“The programme is being brought together incredibly professionally, and I am confident that we are going to be in a great position to have a successful year together.”

Mark Blundell, MB Motorsport Sporting Director, added: “Welcoming Gordon into the fold for 2026 is a huge coup for the team. His reputation, results and record speak for themselves – we are signing up one of the series’ most successful drivers ever to complete a super strong lineup for our first year as a two-car outfit.

“In all our conversations to get to this point, Gordon’s hunger and desire to succeed has been obvious and we look forward to providing him with the platform he needs to hunt down even more victories.”
