NAPA Racing UK celebrate title glory at Brands Hatch BTCC finale.

NAPA Racing UK brought the curtain down on its 2025 KwikFit British Touring Car Championship season in style at Brands Hatch this past weekend by wrapping up the Teams’ Championship for a fourth successive year.

On what was a thrilling end to the campaign around the legendary Grand Prix circuit, the Alliance Racing squad produced a battling display over the course of Sunday’s three races – winning once and finishing on the podium in the other two contests – to spark title celebrations.

Victory in race one allowed Dan Cammish to cement third place in the Drivers’ Championship and the silverware didn’t stop them as Ash Sutton then tallied a brace of podiums to be crowned vice-champion.

Sam Osborne, who was riding a wave of momentum after claiming a popular maiden win last time out at Silverstone, ended his campaign by achieving his highest-ever points total in the UK’s premier motorsport series.

BTCC Practice & Qualifying:

With three titles on the line, the drivers wasted no time in dialling in their Ford Focus ST machines during free practice on Saturday – which in-turn set them up for the all-important final qualifying session of the year later that afternoon.

Three drivers successfully made it through the first stage of qualifying – although Osborne would be knocked out of his group, leaving him 18th on the grid.

Struggling to extract the maximum performance out of the soft tyre, Sutton would be the next to be knocked out, as he finished 11th in Q2. The Quick Six results in two NAPA Racing Fords lining up second and third on the grid.

BTCC Race 1:

The final day of the season began in sublime style for the team as Cammish took a lights-to-flag victory, his third of the season. Starting on the outside of the front row, the Yorkshireman delivered a routine performance to lead every lap on his way to the chequered flag.

Sutton battled valiantly to score points in ninth, having opted to run the less preferable medium compound.

Further back, Osborne ensured that all four cars finished inside the points as he hustled his front-wheel-drive up the order to cross the line in 15th.

BTCC Race 2:

The penultimate race of the season saw the team’s pursuit of title glory further bolstered as Sutton produced an overtaking masterclass. Starting ninth of the medium tyre, the multiple title winner got his elbows out as he fought his way up to second place.

Dan Cammish finished within the top six with Osborne once again fighting forward to finish on the fringes if the top ten.

BTCC Race 3:

With both the Teams’ Championship and Manufacturer/Constructors’ Championship on the line, the final race of the season saw high drama play out as Sutton – now on the optimum soft tyre – delivered another podium performance.

Starting eighth, Sutton charged up to fourth by the end of the first lap and following two more feisty moves, he progressed up to second. With limited TOCA Turbo Boost though, Sutton was unable to close down eventual winner Josh Cook and instead settled for runner-up laurels.

That result however, was good enough for the team to secure a fourth consecutive Teams’ Championship.

With the Teams’ title sewn up, Osborne ended his weekend with yet another brilliant drive, this time finishing inside the top ten.

 

MINI Challenge:

Brands Hatch also saw the Vertu MINI Challenge JCW season come to a close with Lewis Selby, Alex Solley, Cam Richardson and Le Mans 24-Hour winner Nick Tandy – who was drafted in to replace Jamie Osborne – sign off the season.

With Osborne sadly once again ruled out on medical grounds, Tandy’s guest appearance was a breath of fresh air as he showcased all of his skill and talent by scoring a podium in his miaden outing on Saturday.

Things would get even better for the experienced racer on Sunday as he ruled the roost by charging to a brace of race wins.

Elsewhere Selby closed out a challenging finale by ending the year third in the Drivers’ Championship with Solley and Richardson claiming a hat-trick of race finishes each to cement themselves inside the top six of the Rookie Cup.

The countdown to the 2026 KwikFit British Touring Car Championship now begins with the opening rounds scheduled to take place at Donington Park on April 18-19.
