CAM RICHARDSON STEPS UP TO THE JCW GRID WITH NAPA RACING UK

Cam Richardson will make the step up to the JCW grid for the 2025 MINI Challenge season, after being named as the second driver in the expanded NAPA Racing UK line-up.

Richardson made his racing debut with the NAPA Racing UK team in 2023 in the entry level Cooper class, scoring a best finish of tenth and picking up multiple top 15 results in one of the most competitive categories in UK motorsport.

On the back of a solid rookie year, Richardson then moved up into the all-new JCW Sport class in 2024 and earned a place in the record books when he scored the first ever class win during the opening meeting of the year at Donington Park.

That would be one of three class wins over the course of the season – along with twelve further podium finishes – as Richardson found himself in the heart of the championship fight before ending the campaign as championship runner-up.

Having taken huge strides forwards during his two years of competition to date, Richardson will now look to build on the progress made during his season in the Sport class as he moves up to a full-blown JCW machine.

The JCW car is similar to the one Richardson competed in last year, albeit with additional power from the 2.0 litre turbo-charged engine and with a Quaife sequential gearbox in place of the H-patten unit fitted to the Sport category.

Richardson’s move up into the JCW category will also see him score another MINI Challenge landmark as the first driver to have progressed from the Cooper to JCW Sport and then into the top class. He will be racing alongside fellow newcomer – and former Cooper rival – Alex Solley in the NAPA Racing UK four-car line-up, with the final two drivers to be confirmed shortly.

Cam Richardson – NAPA Racing Driver:

“I cant wait to get started this season! We had a really great run last year in the JCW Sport, but 2025 is a clean slate and a new challenge.”

“I know we’ve got the best team to tackle it with and we will give it our all.”
