Jake Hill set to stay at BMW for 2024 British Touring Car Championship season

Jake Hill is set to remain with West Surrey Racing next season after enjoying his best-ever year in the British Touring Car Championship.

The Platts Heath charger, 29, took his sixth win of the campaign at Brands Hatch on Sunday after completing a sensational overtake in the final race of the year.

He says "nothing is signed” for 2024 but he plans to handle a BMW 330e again after finishing ahead of team-mate and four-time champion Colin Turkington in the drivers' standings for the second consecutive season.

"We've come out as the top BMW driver again with six wins and six further podiums so overall it's been a successful season," Hill told KentOnline after Sunday's last race on the Grand Prix circuit.

"It's been a good year and one to make improvements on but I am looking forward to going again next year.

"Nothing is signed, sealed and delivered yet but that [staying at WSR] is what I am hoping to do."

Hill, who started the season finale from fourth position, took to the grass to pass both Josh Cook and Stephen Jelley at Westfield in a move he will "remember for a long time".

He was called to the officials as they looked into a potential track-limits breach, but the former Ginetta ace escaped punishment and could celebrate his first-ever BTCC win at his favourite circuit.

He had finished sixth in the first two contests despite feeling "pretty ill" during the weekend.

"Ironically today was one of those days where we struggled with the car," added Hill, who scored four victories on the Grand Prix loop at the Super Touring Power event in July.

"Yes, we won race three but that's what soft tyres and a clear road ahead does for you.

"But I'm impressed with myself and how I have done this year.

"I love my engineer Craig
