Paragon Rapid Technologies Ltd. is proud to announce a new partnership with professional racing driver Árón Taylor-Smith for the 2026 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season.
The partnership will see Paragon represented on the grid as Árón joins Laser Tools Racing for the 2026 championship. A former BTCC Independent Champion, having secured the title in 2024, Árón brings a wealth of experience and a strong reputation within British motorsport.
The partnership is a natural fit for Paragon, particularly given the company’s expertise in advanced manufacturing and heat shielding solutions. It also provides an exciting opportunity to build relationships within motorsport and showcase the business to a wider audience.
Speaking about the announcement, Árón Taylor-Smith said:
“I am over the moon to get the opportunity to represent Paragon Rapid Technologies for the 2026 season. They are at the forefront of their industry with a great alignment to the BTCC given their field of expertise in heat shielding. I was fortunate enough to meet Ryan just before Christmas and straight away it felt like a perfect partnership. I am really looking forward to putting a show for everyone at Paragon this season.”
Ryan Wake, Sales & Operations Director at Paragon Rapid Technologies, added:
“Working with Árón is about far more than a logo on a car. He understands what it takes to make a partnership successful away from the track as well as on it, and that was a big factor for us. The branding you’ll see is only the beginning of the relationship, and we’re really looking forward to developing it over the course of the season. The Croft race weekend is one we’re especially excited about, with a lot of our team and guests coming along to be part of it.”
The 2026 BTCC season gets underway at Donington Park on 18–19 April, with Paragon looking forward to supporting Árón throughout the championship.
We’re particularly excited about the Croft race weekend, where members of the Paragon team, along with invited guests, will have the opportunity to experience the action firsthand.
It’s an exciting new chapter for Paragon Rapid Technologies, and we look forward to seeing Árón and Laser Tools Racing on the grid for what promises to be a fantastic season.
