Like many young drivers, Jamie Osborne took his first steps into car racing in the Ginetta Junior Championship, where he hit the track at the age of just 14-years-old during the 2018 season.

Having ended his rookie season in 20th place in the standings, Osborne – younger brother of BTCC racer Sam – returned to the series for his second year in 2021, scoring the first podium of his career at Donington Park en-route to twelfth in the points.

With a one-off outing in the MSVR Focus Cup providing a chance to sample senior racing for the first time, and resulting in a hat-trick of wins, Osborne made the huge step up to the JCW class of the MINI CHALLENGE for the 2022 season, with a pair of top ten finishes at Donington Park being his best results of the year.

Teaming up with NAPA Racing UK for his second year, Osborne embraced the challenge of helping to lead the new team and was one of the most improved drivers on the grid as he established himself as a regular contender towards the front of the grid.

A maiden win at Oulton Park was the highlight prior to the season finale at Brands Hatch, where he bettered that achievement by scoring his first championship crown – wrapping up the Graduate Cup crown in the final race of the year.

In 2024 Osborne was a constant presence towards the sharp end of the field with seven podiums finishes.

Heading into year four of his JCW programme, the focus now is very much on the fight for overall honours.
