MB Motorsport today announced that multiple race-winner, Ollie Jacksons will complete their 2021 driver line-up.
Ollie joins the team fresh from his most successful season in the Kwik Fit British Touring Championship to date, claiming his maiden victory in the series at Silverstone before going on to triumph at Snetterton in the penultimate round of the 2020 campaign.
A familiar face in the BTCC paddock, BRDC member, Ollie Jackson, first competed in the BTCC back in 2011 and since then has transformed into a regular points scorer - finishing in a career-best 12th place in the Drivers’ Championship with Motorbase Performance last season.
At the wheel of the mountune-powered Ford Focus ST during his multiple race-winning campaign last season, Ollie’s knowledge and experience of the car will prove invaluable as the team looks to hit the ground running with its new machinery. Thanks to the team’s technical partnership with Motorbase Performance, Ollie is well-placed to build on the successful relationships already established in his 2020 campaign.
