With temperatures soaring during one of the hottest weekends of the BTCC season, the Laser Tools with MB Motorsport Racing team turned to Carrier to ensure guests at its premium hospitality tent remained cool and comfortable throughout the event. The weekend marked the latest activation in Carrier’s ongoing partnership with the team.
To meet the challenge, Carrier, through Carrier Rental Systems, deployed a tailored cooling system centred around the CRS160 Heat Pump, a high-capacity, 160 kW unit designed for efficient performance in large-scale environments. Inside the hospitality space, four Nykkus AHU20/40 air handling units were installed to provide stable airflow and consistent temperature control.
“Providing comfort in such extreme conditions requires careful planning and robust technology,” said Russell Boswell-Munday, Sales Director, Carrier Rental Systems UK&I. “Our CRS160 heat pump and Nykkus air handling units delivered exceptional performance, proving why Carrier is trusted for event cooling solutions.”
Carrier’s team remained on-site throughout the day, closely monitoring and fine-tuning the system to adapt to changing requirements. The solution quickly gained attention across the paddock, with other teams enquiring about how MB Motorsport maintained such a comfortable environment in the heat.
“It was one of the hottest BTCC weekends we’ve had, but Carrier absolutely nailed it,” said Alex Watts, Managing Director, MB Motorsport. “The hospitality tent was the coolest place in the paddock, and it was impressive to see how well the system held up under pressure. The team was professional, knowledgeable and totally focused on guest comfort.”
The installation forms part of Carrier’s broader collaboration with MB Motorsport, which began in 2023. With BTCC’s adoption of sustainable fuels from 2025, the team’s ethos aligns closely with Carrier’s innovation and sustainability goals.
