BTCC: Josh Cook re-joins One Motorsport for 2025

After a year with Toyota and Speedworks Motorsport, Cook returns to One Motorsport for the upcoming BTCC season.

He will be back driving his Honda Civic Type-R this year after the team took a year out in 2024. He initially joined the team in 2019 where he would stay with the team for five years claiming 16 wins with the team and another 17 podiums on top of that.

He took home the 2022 and 2023 Independents Drivers Championship with the team while in that same period the team claimed back to back Independent Teams Championships.

In 2025 he will be making his 300th start in the BTCC as he looks to earn more success with the team.

After signing, Josh Cook said: “I’m thrilled to be returning to One Motorsport. This is where I’ve spent a large proportion of my BTCC career so to be coming back to familiar faces and surroundings, as well as a car that I know very well is a really exciting prospect.”

“The Civic Type R wasn’t on the grid last year, but the team have been busy chipping away on a number of key areas during the past 12 months. Along with the regulation changes that have been made, I think we can be optimistic of some great results over the course of the season.”

“Executing the 2025 season is the immediate focus but this move back to the team is with the long-term view of laying down the foundations for 2026 and beyond. I want to be BTCC champion – simple as that.”

“Going into the season I feel like I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in – both physically and mentally. I know what I need to do, and I’ve got a fantastic team around me; all the ingredients are there and I’m confident this move is going to be the start of something special.”

Team Owner, Steve Dudman said: “Josh is a class act and bringing him back into the One Motorsport fold was a key objective when we were setting the wheels in motion to return to the grid this year.”

“There’s no denying that he has been fast and competitive in whatever he has driven, so to now reacquaint him with a car that has been refined over the past year is hugely exciting for everyone involved.”

“We’ve enjoyed a vast amount of success together and the aim is to go and chase even more, starting this season. Despite operating at such a high level, I believe Josh can get even better so I’m looking forward to seeing what he can achieve on his return.”
