NAPA Racing UK continued to extend its lead at the top of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at Donington Park last weekend, with victory for Dan Cammish and a podium brace for points leader Ash Sutton on the GP loop.
Once more our weekend kicked off with a launch, this time for our brand-new 2026 Valvoline livery featured on Dan Cammish and Sam Osborne’s cars. Inspired by Jess Hawkins’ Valvoline NASCAR from an event in 2024, the striking livery was incredibly well received by fans, and the limited-edition caps flew off the shelves in the NAPA Shop!
Despite being in the faster Qualifying group, where multiple drivers carried more boost, the Race to Pole saw Sutton, Cammish and Osborne securing top-ten starting positions with fourth, fifth and ninth respectively. Another stellar showing from Selby meant he would’ve likely joined his team-mates further up the grid, but contact pushed him back to 17th. With mostly strong positions, the team looked towards every chance of success come race day!
The team’s forward momentum carried into the opening race on Sunday. Sutton swept his way from the second row to finish second, with Cammish claiming fourth after a late and daring pass on ex-teammate Rowbottom. That left the Valvoline liveried driver in a brilliant position come Race 2, being the leading driver on the faster medium tyre. Selby made progress through the grid to finish inside the points with a P14, whilst Sam Osborne’s Sunday started with a technical problem which the team quickly fixed.
Race 2 saw Dan Cammish take advantage of his medium tyre choice, converting P4 into a brilliant race win and pushing him a point ahead of Tom Ingram in the Drivers’ Standings. Sutton joined him on the podium, his second trip to the rostrum of the day and extending his lead in the championship even further. Selby put in another spirited showing and, but for a ten-second penalty due to a false start, would have been a contender for the reverse grid draw. An unrelated issue for Osborne left him on the sidelines once again.
In Race 3, Sutton rounded out another strong showing with fifth. Equally impressive was Selby, who rallied after his earlier frustrations to move through the order and take P12. After hard work from the crew on Osborne’s car, he was able to make it back out and, in similar style to Selby, charged through the field as high as P14 to end the day, ahead of Cammish – ensuring all four NAPA Racing UK cars ended the day in the points.
NAPA Racing UK next head to Croft Circuit on 5th-6th September. The team heads into the weekend continuing to lead the Teams’ and Manufacturers Championships, alongside Ash Sutton leading the Drivers’ Championship by 98 points. Dan Cammish sits in third, just 5 points behind Tom Ingram. In the Jack Sears Trophy, Lewis Selby made places and left the weekend in third place, with Osborne fifth.
