BTCC: NAPA Racing UK confirm all four drivers for the upcoming BTCC Season

It has been confirmed today that NAPA Racing UK has locked in their lineup of drivers for the 2026 BTCC Season.

Reigning Teams Champions NAPA Racing UK set their sights on a clean sweep of all the BTCC titles available to them heading into 2026, with a four-car strong lineup set to drive them forward for 2026. Four-time BTCC Champion Ash Sutton will race for the team once more with teammate and multi-time race winner Dan Cammish alongside him. The pair will be joined once again by first time race winner Sam Osborne. The trio have raced as teammates since 2023, with Sutton and Cammish partnering a year prior, claiming 33 race wins between them since they became teammates and claiming back-to-back-to-back-to-back Teams titles ever since NAPA entered the BTCC.

Sutton goes into the season looking to claim his fifth title, after just losing out to rival Tom Ingram last season. He would claim his first title back in 2017 in just his second season in the BTCC, before following it up with back-to-back titles in 2020 and 2021. After just missing out on the title in 2022, he would dominate 2023 with 12 wins that season on his way to his fourth title. Sutton has not bene outside the top three in the championship since 2019.

Meanwhile, Cammish looks to claim his first BTCC title heading into 2026, just missing out in 2019 after a brake failure at the finale cost him the title. However, Cammish has shown he has more than enough capability of claiming a title and often does so in dominate fashion. Three-time Porsche Carrera Cup GB Championship, dominating the series whenever he competed, he also dominated then British Formula Ford Championship in 2013 winning every race he competed in that season to claim the title, despite missing the final six races.

Osborne has slowly improved over the last few years, having his best season in 2025 claiming his maiden victory at Silverstone. He would finish third in the Jack Sears Trophy after an intense season long battle with Daryl DeLeon, Charles Rainford and Dexter Patterson.

However, the team does have a new addition after the departure of Daniel Rowbottom. Lewis Selby will make his debut in the BTCC after winning the Directors Cup in the MINI Challenge JCW field in 2024. He will be eligible for the Jack Sears Trophy in the teams attempt to clean sweep all eligible championships.

With the announcement of the teams’ drivers, Ash Sutton said: “It goes without saying that the team and I are hungrier than ever to win that fifth title. I’ve been in contention in each of the past two seasons, but I feel that now is the time to get back on top and rewrite the BTCC history books. Everyone at NAPA Racing UK has been working tirelessly over the off-season. I feel like I’m in a good place too, so all the ingredients are there for us to go and achieve the things that we’re targeting. I can’t wait to get back out on-track.”

Dan Cammish added: “I’m really looking forward to the new season. There’s a lot of change, we have new rules as well as new team and driver pairings to contend with, all of which means there are plenty of opportunities. It promises to be an exciting season, and the aim is to retain the Teams’ title, take back the Manufacturers’ title and on a personal level, I’ll be giving it my all to clinch that elusive first Drivers’ Championship.”

Sam Osborne said: “I'm really eager to get back on track. Getting that first win last year was such a great feeling, now I want to make that trip to the podium more! I've seen the cars as they've been taking shape, and they look fantastic. Full credit to the guys back at base for all their hard work, and hopefully we can repay that work with another good season.”

Ahead of his debut in the BTCC, Lewis Selby said: “It’s a dream come true, to race in the British Touring Car Championship with the brand I’ve dedicated so much time to, will be a very proud moment. I never really considered the BTCC as an option, but due to various events, I was asked and immediately said yes! I can’t thank Pete Osborne and Steve Richardson enough, and I look forward to doing the best job I can for them, the team, and all my many colleagues at NAPA Auto Parts. I can’t wait to get started!”
