MBP are delighted to announce that Luke Hilton, the most recent addition to our driver portfolio, will compete in his maiden single-seater campaign as he takes to the track with Douglas Motorsport in the GB4 Championship in 2025.

The talented young racer, hailing from Essex, has made an instant impression in his fledgling racing career. Luke had embarked on a maiden car racing campaign in 2023 that saw him collect multiple victories, podiums, lap records and pole positions to finish as Vice-Champion in the Fiesta Junior Championship. He then rounded out the year in style with yet more silverware in the Radical World Finals in Portimao on his competitive debut.

2024 saw Luke continuing on his impressive journey, with two victories, lap record and pole positions in the Gulf Radical Cup kickstarting the year, which he then followed up with a Hagerty Radical Cup UK campaign that saw him continue his form with multiple podiums and fastest laps.

Luke’s 2025 campaign will see him teaming up with the professional and accomplished, Douglas Motorsport outfit in the GB4 Championship as he makes his eagerly anticipated single-seater debut. The season will see Luke racing around some of the UK’s most loved tracks from Silverstone to Oulton Park, with GB4 racing alongside all six UK rounds of the prestigious British GT Championship.

Looking ahead to the exciting next step in his career, Luke is raring to hit the track:

“I cannot wait to get going in 2025. Making my single-seater debut and taking that next step in my career is incredibly exciting and an opportunity for which I am very grateful. Teaming up with the fantastic team at Douglas Motorsport means I will have a brilliant team and expertise behind me every step of the way. We have enjoyed working together so far and I am confident I have the best people around me as I take on my debut season in single-seaters.”

“I would also like to express my thanks for the support of everyone involved, particularly from my family and MBP as we take this next step on the journey together. Bring on 2025!”

Douglas Motorsport Owner, Wayne Douglas, is delighted to welcome Luke and is optimistic about how the relationship will play out on track.

"We're excited to welcome Luke onboard as we partner together for the 2025 season in GB4.”

“We've been working closely with Luke over the past few months as our winter testing programme gets underway, and we're really pleased with his progress so far. We look forward to Luke making great strides in his first season of single-seaters which is always a huge jump for any driver"

Gary Paffett, Motorsport Advisor at MBP, is excited to see Luke hit the track in 2025:

“Seeing Luke taking the next step in his career and making the jump up to single-seaters is an exciting moment. Together, we have reviewed many opportunities looking towards the new season and we are confident that the combination of Douglas Motorsport and the GB4 Championship is the perfect next chapter for Luke. He has already impressed many in his career so far and I am sure his professional and determined attitude will help him to hit the ground running in GB4. We cannot wait to see what this season brings and we are looking forward to supporting Luke every step of the way.”

Luke’s GB4 Championship season will kickstart at Donington Park on the 5th of April 2025.
