Burnell Switchgear & Control Confirms Continued Partnership with Árón Taylor-Smith and Laser Tools Racing for 2026 BTCC Season

Specialist power distribution and electrical systems provider Burnell Switchgear & Control is proud to confirm the continuation of its partnership with BTCC standout Árón Taylor‑Smith as he prepares to tackle the 2026 British Touring Car Championship season with Laser Tools Racing.

Established in 1972, Burnell has built a reputation for designing, manufacturing and installing bespoke electrical switchgear and distribution solutions that are robust, reliable and engineered to meet clients’ exact specifications. With over five decades of experience delivering mission‑critical power systems in sectors from solar energy to rail infrastructure, Burnell’s commitment to precision aligns naturally with the demands of top‑tier motorsport performance and teamwork. 

Árón Taylor‑Smith, a proven force on the BTCC grid and the 2024 Independent Champion, enters his eleventh full season in the championship with the support of Burnell Switchgear & Control as he ventures into this new chapter with Laser Tools Racing.

Árón Taylor-Smith commented: “I am over the moon to have the continued support from Burnell as we embark on this new chapter in the BTCC. It’s a partnership that I am incredibly proud and their support, both on and off the track, means more to me than you would realise. I’m excited to continue our journey together with Laser Tools Racing and push for another strong campaign.”

Burnell’s support of Árón Taylor‑Smith extends beyond traditional branding, it represents a shared ethos. In both high‑performance racing and high‑performance engineered systems, reliability and precision matter, and the collaboration highlights how those principles translate across very different yet equally demanding environments.

Mark Osborne of Burnell added: “We’re delighted to continue supporting Árón as he competes with Laser Tools Racing. His dedication and performance are exceptional, and his approach to competition reflects the same focus we bring to delivering fit‑for‑purpose power distribution systems. As a company, we are all really excited to see what 2026 brings.”
