NAPA Racing UK has expanded its official presence on the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship grid for 2023 with a four-car entry. Three-time champion Ash Sutton and Dan Cammish remain, with Daniel Rowbottom and Sam Osborne filling the extra seats.

After winning last season's Teams Championship, whilst Sutton finished second overall individually, the enlarged squad is chasing more success this year. All four drivers will race Ford Focus ST machinery, prepared by the Kent-based Motorbase Performance outfit.

Sutton and Cammish both won races last year, whilst Osborne is no stranger to the team, having raced a sister entry under a different banner previously. Rowbottom is a completely new addition to the line-up, bringing race-winning experience of his own after previously racing a Honda.

The cars will once again race in striking blue and yellow after the livery debuted on the grid last season.

Cammish said: "I am really looking forward to the upcoming BTCC season. The second half of last season was really strong and I am confident we will start this year in even better shape. The NAPA Racing UK team have put in a lot of work over the winter to ensure we are in the best place possible when the lights go out at Donington for the season opener."

Sutton said: "2023 is shaping up to be an awesome season. Everyone at NAPA Racing UK and Motorbase have been hard at work over the winter months with the development to the Focus, so I can't wait to see how that translates to the track. The addition of having Dan Rowbottom and Sam Osborne now apart of the NAPA outfit is a statement for the brand."

Rowbottom said: To say I'm excited is an understatement. The opportunity for not only myself, but for my long-term title partners Cataclean is superb. I've always been a NASCAR fan, so when NAPA joined BTCC, on a personal level that struck a chord for me, so to be able to continue the next steps of my career with NAPA Racing UK and Cataclean is an enormous privilege and something that words can't quantify."

Osborne said: "Super excited to join NAPA Racing UK for the upcoming season, feel privileged to represent such an incredible brand. We have been working hard with the team to get the car ready for the season, I have been working on my fitness and on the simulator and can't wait to get started. Looking forward to Dan Rowbottom joining the team!"
