NAPA Racing UK has confirmed its four-strong driver line-up for the 2026 British Touring Car Championship, with Lewis Selby joining Ash Sutton, Dan Cammish and Sam Osborne at the team.
The Alliance Racing-run team is looking to defend the Teams’ title it clinched in 2025 and add the Drivers’, Manufacturers’ and Jack Sears titles to its names at the same time.
Following the departure of Daniel Rowbottom for Plato Racing, 45-year-old Selby will join the team to make his BTCC début in 2026, partnering Sutton, Cammish and Osborne in the quartet of Ford Focus ST cars.
Sutton spearheads the team as he embarks on his fifth season with NAPA Racing UK, seeking to add a record-breaking fifth BTCC title to his name.
“It goes without saying that the team and I are hungrier than ever to win that fifth title,” said 2025 runner-up Sutton. “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.”
Cammish is targeting his maiden BTCC title, and last year enjoyed his best season since joining the team, ending the year third overall in the drivers’ standings.
“I’m really looking forward to the new season,” said 36-year-old Cammish. “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.”
Osborne also enjoyed arguably his best BTCC season to-date last year, securing a maiden victory at Silverstone on his way to 16th overall in the drivers’ standings.
“I’m really eager to get back on track,” said Osborne, who is entering into his eighth season in the BTCC. “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.”
Selby joins the team after three seasons racing with the team in the MINU Challenge UK, where he finished third overall in 2025 after scoring one win and seven podiums.
“It’s a dream come true,” said Selby. “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 [Team Owner] 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!”
