LEWIS SELBY’S MINI IS TAKING A TRIP BACK TO THE 90s
17 Sep 2025
NAPA Racing UK and technical partner Valvoline revisit the 1990’s.
What an incredible response to the 1995-inspired Valvoline livery, showcased on the BTCC Ford Focuses on Ash Sutton and Dan Cammish at Donington Park GP.
Both drivers stood on the podium, with Dan surviving the madness of race 2, to take a well-earned victory.
At Silverstone, NAPA Racing UK continues to celebrate its partnership with Valvoline, this time with MINI Challenge JCW driver, Lewis Selby
A CONTINUED CELEBRATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
The Valvoline “V” livery was applied to several of Valvoline’s leading teams globally in the mid-90s, across the BTCC, NASCAR and IndyCar, to name a few.
Lewis’ race-wining MINI F56 JCW has undergone a “pint-sized BTCC” makeover for Silverstone and Brands Hatch GP. To accompany the livery, Lewis will be wearing the same Alpinestars retro design as Ash Sutton and Dan Cammish, emblazoned with his #18. To complete the mid-90s Valvoline look, Lewis will be sporting an Al Unser Jr inspired helmet, designed and painted by Rennat Design.
JARNO MIDDLEBOSCH – VALVOLINE GLOBAL OPERATIONS MARKETING DIRECTOR EUROPE:
“The 1990s were a golden era for Valvoline, in many motorsport categories. We are pleased to be able to replicated one of the most remembered liveries of that decade.
Fans attending the race will also be able to purchase limited-edition merchandise, inspired by the teamwear from 1995.”
Like the BTCC team, who use Valvoline VR1 Racing Oil, the MINI JCW is part of the development for Valvoline’s SynPower formula, designed to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions and extend maintenance intervals.
