Sam Osborne completes NAPA Racing UK line-up

By

NAPA Racing UK has completed its line-up for the 2025 British Touring Car Championship, announcing Sam Osborne as its fourth and final driver.

As expected, the reigning Teams’ champions have named an unchanged squad for the forthcoming campaign which includes four-time champion Ash Sutton, Dan Cammish, Dan Rowbottom and Osborne.

In what will be his fifth successive season behind the wheel of the Alliance Racing-built Ford Focus ST, Osborne will be hoping to build on what was his most successful campaign to-date last year.

Finishing inside the points in 22 of the 30 races, the 31-year-old ended the year claiming runners-up laurels in the Jack Sears Trophy – a competition he will be eligible to compete for once again.

“To be honest, I didn’t want last season to end, we got things going and I was on a bit of a run,” said Osborne.

“I think it was nine consecutive top ten finishes in the last nine races. Midway through the year, we added Rory (Butcher) to my car crew, and along with Rich (Townsend, my engineer) and my side of the team, it progressed us in all areas on and off-track.

“Since Brands Hatch, it’s been non-stop with work and preparing for the 2025 season. We’re determined to start the season strong and put all the hard work to good use.”
