NAPA Racing UK is excited to unveil its driver line-up for the 2026 season, with contenders in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), MINI Challenge, and BriSCA F1.

BTCC

NAPA Racing UK are targeting honours in the Drivers’, Manufacturers’, Teams’ and Jack Sears Trophy Championships this year after confirming a four-car assault on the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.

Four-time champion Ash Sutton, title contender Dan Cammish and race winner Sam Osborne all remain with the team for the forthcoming 2026 season, and they’ll be joined on the grid by series debutant Lewis Selby.

Having become a regular fixture towards the front of the MINI CHALLENGE JCW field in recent years, winning the Directors Cup in 2024, Selby will now make his long-awaited touring car bow with the team, where he will be eligible to battle for Jack Sears Trophy honours.

“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,” says Selby. “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!”

MINI Challenge

NAPA Racing UK also has its sights set on contending for outright honours in the MINI CHALLENGE JCW this year after confirming the high-profile signing of former Directors Cup champion, Joe Tanner.

In what is a true statement of intent from the race-winning outfit, Tanner makes a triumphant return to the grid this year, where he’ll join Cameron Richardson to don the striking blue and yellow NAPA colours.

Having stepped away from racing for a couple of seasons, the Scotsman – who operates the globally recognised helmet painting company Rennat Design – is widely regarded as one of the series’ leading lights of the modern era.

Richardson will remain with the team for a fourth successive campaign, having debuted in the Coopers before then making the jump up to the JCW Sport category and then last year, the JCW Class.

With the benefit of being in the same car for a second consecutive year, Richardson – who made history by becoming the first ever JCW Sport race winner – is eager to build on the foundations that have been laid in recent years.

BriSCA Stock Cars

NAPA Racing UK will continue to have a presence in the British Stock Car Association (BriSCA F1) in 2026 as it continues to build on its long-standing partnership with Jack France.

Beginning his alliance with the team back in 2021, France has gone on to establish himself as a leading light of the Stock Car landscape, tallying numerous standout results both in the United Kingdom and abroad.
