Northamptonshire’s NAPA Racing UK signs off historic BTCC season with Brands Hatch one-two

Dan Cammish wins the 2026 finale ahead of five-time champion Ash Sutton as the Northamptonshire-based team celebrates a fifth consecutive Teams’ Championship

Northamptonshire-based NAPA Racing UK has completed a record-breaking 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship campaign in emphatic style, with Dan Cammish winning the final race at Brands Hatch and team-mate Ash Sutton finishing just 0.131 seconds behind.

 The result capped a landmark season for the county’s leading touring car team. Sutton secured a record fifth Drivers’ Championship, NAPA Racing UK claimed its fifth consecutive Teams’ Championship, and Alliance Racing delivered the Manufacturers’/Constructors’ title for Ford.

 Since entering the BTCC in 2022, NAPA Racing UK has won the Teams’ title in every season, underlining Northamptonshire’s place at the heart of British motorsport.

The Brands Hatch finale on 10 and 11 October provided a fitting conclusion to the campaign.

 Sutton led the NAPA Racing UK drivers in free practice, taking third with a best lap of 1:29.242. Cammish was ninth in 1:29.601, Osborne 15th in 1:30.321 and Selby 18th in 1:30.551.

 In qualifying, Sutton secured sixth with a 1:29.513 lap. Cammish qualified 10th in 1:29.542, followed by Selby in 15th at 1:29.988 and Osborne in 18th at 1:30.182.

 Saturday afternoon’s 10-lap Qualifying Race ended with Cammish 10th, Sutton 11th, Selby 16th and Osborne 19th, before the team moved forward in Sunday’s three championship races.

 On Sunday, Sutton finished fifth and Cammish eighth in Race One, with Osborne 15th and Selby 16th. In Race Two, Sutton placed third, 2.733 seconds behind winner Tom Ingram; Cammish was sixth, Osborne 10th and Selby 13th.

 In the final race of an exciting season that all kicked off in April, Cammish took the chequered flag in his NAPA Racing UK Ford Focus Titanium after 18 laps of the Grand Prix circuit, completing the contest in 32 minutes 29.523 seconds.

Sutton followed 0.131 seconds later and recorded the fastest lap among the NAPA Racing UK drivers at 1 minute 29.650 seconds. The runner-up finish was his 21st podium of the season. Sam Osborne finished 13th, while Lewis Selby retired without completing a lap.

 Sutton had already made BTCC history at Northamptonshire’s Silverstone circuit three weeks ago. Victory in the second race at their local circuit gave him an unassailable points advantage and made him the first driver to win five BTCC Drivers’ Championships.

The achievement moved Sutton ahead of four-time champions Andy Rouse and Colin Turkington, setting a new benchmark in the championship’s history.

 He ended the season on 514 points, ahead of Tom Ingram on 387 and NAPA Racing UK team-mate Cammish on 369. The final standings reflected the pace and consistency that powered the Northamptonshire-based squad through another title-winning year.

• Drivers’ Champion: Ash Sutton — NAPA Racing UK

• Teams’ Champions: NAPA Racing UK

• Manufacturers’/Constructors’ Champions: Alliance Racing/Ford

 Cammish’s finale victory, Sutton’s record fifth crown and NAPA Racing UK’s fifth straight Teams’ Championship give Northamptonshire three major reasons to celebrate.

The campaign further cements the locally based team’s reputation as one of the leading forces in British motorsport.
