Well, we wanted news, we have news!
Completely surprised about it especially as I thought Laser Tools won't return and expected Hill to race still under Rokit branding. Anyway, interested to see BMW in this iconic livery. However, I can see some confusion coming as some might wonder whether Hill is part of the "factory" WSR, or does his car is run by MB Motorsport or actually Laser Tools Racing! |

The team withdrew from the BTCC. The brand now sponsors another entry. |

Looks like an M4. But they are still racing the 330e according to all stories. Perhaps its just for the publicity photo.

Laser Tools is a sponsor. MB is the promoter. WSR is the team. (AFAIK, we are waiting for confirmation of "factory", or the primary sponsor) |

And it was Moffat’s team that ran the Infinitis, not Laser Tools

On the G80 the badge sits in a recess between the top of the grilles, you can see the badge raised so is clearly the G20 still.

That Autosport article finishes with the following,
'Last year Moffat’s team ran in association with Team Hard, and it will continue in 2023 under a new name with a two-car attack.' So no hints of a change in car, but does confirm they will be back |

"The Laser Tools Infinitis were based in Hard’s premises for much of the past two seasons, and the Scottish-owned squad is now expecting to firm up a replacement for Patterson alongside Aiden Moffat. [...] The team is likely to drop the Infiniti and switch to a front-wheel-drive car – Moffat Sr said this could be the Cupra but the team is still evaluating options." |

However, MB Motorsport has publicly declared an intent to expand to two cars. Morgan has publicly confirmed that Ciceley backing will appear on at least one car. WSR has publicly confirmed that "The team structure and the names under which the BMWs are entered in 2023 are yet to be finalised. Further information will be revealed in due course." It's all speculation at the moment, and the only thing we can base it on is information in the public domain, otherwise we are open to more criticism of 'I know something you don't' |

Any aspiration to expand to two cars sits separate to that, and there may be any number of reasons why they wouldn't mention it:

Why do I get the feeling we may see a new record for longest ever team name - "Laser Tools with MB Motorsport in association with [sponsor B] powered by [sponsor C]"

Now there's at least one clue. Let's see what they reveal.

WSR suggesting (after the Red Bull livery) their livery will be much different this year - so perhaps no BMW backing?

''Nope. Will still be the BMW 330e M Sport, as we’ve stated in all our announcements during the winter.' |
