Dan Cammish

Dan Cammish arrived in the BTCC with a fine pedigree in the sport and several seasons on the TOCA support package under his belt. The architect of a flawless campaign in British Formula Ford in 2013 – winning all 24 races he entered to wrap up the title with two meetings to go – he subsequently clinched back-to-back crowns in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB in 2015 and 2016.

Cammish spent 2017 contesting both the PCCGB and pan-European Porsche Supercup. He finished third in the domestic championship – despite missing two races mid-season – as he triumphed eight times from 13 starts in a campaign

highlighted by a stunning victory at Le Mans following a frenetic four-way final lap scrap for supremacy. He added to that with fourth place in the fiercely-disputed international series with three podiums to his credit, including a runner-up finish on his debut in Monaco.

Stepping up to the BTCC in 2018 in place of Gordon Shedden at factory Honda outfit Halfords Yuasa Racing, Cammish immediately showed his pace – only denied pole position in qualifying for the Brands Hatch Indy curtain-raiser after falling foul of a pit-lane red light.

His first podium came at Thruxton and he scored his maiden victory, immediately followed by another, in the Brands Hatch GP season finale – concluding the campaign just five points shy of legendary team-mate Matt Neal.

He continued at Halfords Yuasa Racing in 2019 and this time around, Cammish truly made his presence felt at the sharp end of the grid, fighting tooth-and-nail for the coveted Drivers’ crown until a mechanical failure denied him the laurels on the penultimate lap of the year.

The Yorkshireman remained with the team in 2020 and concluded the campaign third in the overall standings, having put in a relentless fight, resulting in his highest points haul in his BTCC career - despite three fewer races than the standard 30-round calendar.

After a late call-up, Cammish contested the 2021 season opener at Thruxton with BTC Racing, securing a 1-2 finish for the squad as he followed team-mate Josh Cook across the line. Competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain for the remainder of the 2021 campaign, Cammish clinched a third title in the series.

Cammish made his BTCC return in 2022 with NAPA Racing UK, alongside reigning champion Ash Sutton. He secured one win, four further podiums and one pole across the campaign to take eighth overall in the standings.

After a 2023 season of learning the pace of the car and leading the championship after the first round, Cammish will look to take the fight to champion teammate Ash Sutton in 2024.

Ashley Sutton

Like most, Ash Sutton began his career in karts, claiming several titles as he rose rapidly through the ranks. Progressing on to single-seaters, he finished fourth in the 2010 Formula Vee Championship, snaring Rookie of the Year honours for good measure.

Following three years away from the track, Sutton wound up third in the 2014 British Formula Ford Championship on the TOCA package, prior to switching to tin-tops in 2015. Running in the Team BMR stable with Team Pyro, he won six races and took 14 podiums as he clinched the Renault UK Clio Cup crown.

Sutton graduated to the BTCC in 2016 with Triple Eight Racing, driving an MG6. His first season in the championship was a fruitful one as he garnered a race win and a couple of impressive pole positions on his way to a poignant Jack Sears Trophy triumph in the year of the inaugural champion’s passing.

For the 2017 campaign, Sutton switched to Adrian Flux Subaru Racing and rear-wheel drive. A joint-high of six race wins and nine further podium finishes saw him over the line to seal a first BTCC title in only his second campaign – the youngest man to become champion since way back in 1966.

Sutton overcame a pressure-cooker final weekend battle with double champion Colin Turkington to take the honours.

2018 wouldn’t go the same way, however, despite a chart-topping six race victories once again. Early-season consistency was lacking from his Subaru – a situation that was repeated throughout the following campaign as the 2017 champion managed just a single race win.

Sutton joined Aiden Moffat at Laser Tools Racing in 2020, embracing new challenges in the Infiniti Q50. Adding to his points tally in 26 of the 27 rounds of the campaign, Sutton’s consistency throughout the season saw him rewarded with a second overall BTCC title and the Independents’ crown, having taken the title battle down to the final race.

Sticking with the team in 2021, the Hertfordshire racer would visit the rostrum on nine occasions and, with 27 top ten finishes during the 30-round campaign, Sutton’s consistent and measured approach to the title battle proved more than warranted when he attained an unassailable points lead with one race left.

The three-time champion made the move to NAPA Racing UK ahead of 2022, with his #1 Ford Focus ST emblazoned with gold Kwik Fit plates in his championship defending season. Sutton only finished outside the points-paying positions on two occasions, taking three wins across the year. Heading into the finale, Sutton sat third in the title battle, and would conclude the year an impressive second place, beating title rival Jake Hill by just one point.

In his second year with the squad, Sutton built on his experience in the Ford Focus ST as he took his record-equalling fourth title. In 2024 he will look to take the record outright.

Jake Hill

Having made his series debut for a one-off appearance in 2013, Jake Hill became a regular in the BTCC three years later. Hill steadily improved his championship position year-on-year since joining Trade Price Cars in 2019, where the Tunbridge-Wells born driver took his Audi S3 to a maiden victory in a superb lights-to-flag drive at Knockhill.

Previously, Hill had starred in a number of the BTCC’s support series, collecting podiums and wins before focussing on the BTCC with Team Hard in 2016 and 2017. Several strong performances culminated in his debut podium at Brands Hatch in 2018, before joining Trade Price Cars alongside former Formula 1 driver Mark Blundell the following year.

For 2020, Hill joined Blundell’s fledgling MB Motorsport team in an AmD Tuning-prepared Honda Civic Type R, taking six podiums over the season. Remaining with MB Motorsport, now in a Motorbase Performance-run Ford Focus ST, for 2021, Hill hit the ground running, taking a triple podium in the opening event at Thruxton. Continuing on to score points 25 times in 30 races and bagging a total of nine podiums – including wins at Croft and Silverstone – Hill remained in the championship fight all the way to the final weekend of the season, ultimately finishing a career-best fifth in the points.

In 2022, Hill switched to rear-wheel drive in the West Surrey Racing-prepared BMW 330e M-Sport with ROKiT MB Motorsport. He had a brilliant campaign, fighting for the championship win right until the dramatic finale at Brands Hatch. The stats say it all, doubling his win total, securing 13 more podiums and 381 more points than his 2021 season. Hill also won the Goodyear Wingfoot Award title for the best qualifying performance and rounded out his best-ever season in third overall.

Hill made it two third-place finishes in a row at the end of 2023 and doubled his career win tally in one season. Heading into 2024 the Kentman will be looking to make that next jump and look to take the championship.

Josh Cook

Josh Cook engaged in a hard-fought duel with Mike Bushell for the 2014 Renault UK Clio Cup crown – winning more races but just missing out on the title in the Brands Hatch finale – which catapulted him onto the BTCC grid in a Power Maxed Racing-run Chevrolet Cruze the following year alongside experienced tin-top campaigner Dave Newsham.

A strong first season saw Cook claim seven top ten finishes including a podium at Rockingham – and scrap energetically for the lead in a lively race at Donington Park. That enabled him to prevail in the battle of the newcomers, exacting revenge on Clio Cup sparring partner Bushell to lift the Jack Sears Trophy for top rookie.

Cook added two further rostrums in 2016 with the factory MG squad, before moving to Team Parker Racing with Maximum Motorsport for 2017. He steered the lime green Ford Focus to fourth spot at Oulton Park, switching back to MG machinery midway through the campaign.

In 2018, Cook joined the works Vauxhall effort at Power Maxed TAG Racing and won in two of the opening three race weekends. He sealed four further podiums on his way to sixth in the Drivers’ running.

For 2019, Cook made the move to BTC Racing, driving the outfit’s newly-acquired Honda Civic Type R (FK8) to three superb victories and fourth in the final standings. Cook remained with the team in 2020, bagging a trio of wins – including his first double, at Croft – and finishing in the top ten following a consistent second half of the year.

Sticking with BTC Racing for the 2021 campaign, Cook kicked off the year with an impressive double victory during Thruxton’s season opener and, four other visits to the rostrum throughout the year, ended the campaign in a similar fashion with a pair of wins at Brands Hatch.

Fresh off the back of his career-best campaign in 2021, Josh Cook impressively built on his win tally; he claimed five victories during the year and became the most successful BTCC driver of all time at Thruxton. Although the season was not without its problems for the BTC Racing driver, Cook did secure a further four podiums and 296 points, leading him to take sixth in the championship overall.

Returning with the Brackley-based outfit for 2023, Cook was joined by Aiden Moffat and Will Powell piloting a Honda Civic Type R for One Motorsport with Starline Racing for fifth in the championship.

In 2024, Cook, alongside Moffat, has made the jump over to Speedworks in the Toyota Corolla for LKQ Euro Car Parts with SYNETIQ, hoping to take that step into the championship fight.

Tom Ingram

Tom Ingram graduated from a successful karting career into car racing in the Ginetta Junior Championship in 2009. The following year, a supremely consistent run of victories and podiums secured him the Ginetta Junior crown.

In 2011, Ingram made it back-to-back successes with Ginetta G50 Cup glory. Upon moving up another class in 2012, he instantly marked himself out as a Ginetta GT Supercup front-runner with six wins resulting in a title challenge. That mission was accomplished in 2013, with a stunning streak of 22 podiums that included 11 triumphs. In 2014, he made his BTCC debut in Speedworks Motorsport’s Toyota Avensis, finishing the season as top rookie.

Ingram stayed with the squad for 2015 and clinched an emotional first BTCC podium for both himself and Speedworks at Rockingham following a thrilling race-long duel with two-time champion Jason Plato. He added to it with another second place in the Brands Hatch GP finale.

He remained with Speedworks for a third consecutive campaign and duly ascended the top step of the rostrum in the 2016 curtain-raiser. Ingram followed up with a handful of podiums, notching a second victory at Silverstone on his way to tenth in the overall standings.

Ingram took to the grid in 2017 in a newly-facelifted Speedworks Motorsport Toyota Avensis, with a more composed, consistent campaign seeing him rocket to four victories. Visits to the top step at Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Knockhill and Silverstone marked what was by far his best BTCC challenge to-date – ultimately good enough for third in the overall standings, and top of the tree in the Independents’ championship for both driver and team.

Ingram pushed things even closer in 2018, taking the title battle right down to the wire. He narrowly missed out on the overall Drivers’ crown by 12 points in a straight fight with Colin Turkington, but did once again seal the Independents’ trophy for both himself and his team.

Speedworks acquired Toyota factory backing and a brand-new Corolla for 2019, becoming Team Toyota GB with Ginsters as Ingram triumphed on four separate occasions – including a sensational double-top at Silverstone.

In 2020, Ingram once again drove the Speedworks-run Corolla to a number of victories and podiums under the ‘Toyota Gazoo Racing UK with Ginsters’ banner, ending the year fourth in the standings.

During the 2021 campaign, Ingram took on new challenges, moving to Ginsters EXCELR8 with TradePriceCars.com and piloting one of the squad’s Hyundai i30Ns. But it was 2022 where Ingram finally won the most coveted prize in British motorsport. Here, Tom would claim six race victories during the campaign – more than any other driver on the grid – and a further six rostrum finishes to seal the championship in the final event of the year.

Ingram relinquished his crown in the 2023 campaign, piloting the EXCELR8 Hyundai i30 N for a third year. The returning #80 makes it a fourth year in the newly named Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS, looking to take the title back from Ash Sutton in 2024.

Adam Morgan

Adam Morgan began his career in karting and subsequently historic rallying, before making his circuit racing bow in the Mazda Championship and Ginetta G20 Cup.

Competing for family outfit Ciceley Racing in 2011, the Lancastrian clinched the inaugural Ginetta GT Supercup crown – and scooped the BTCC prize drive that accompanied it.

Morgan competed for Speedworks Motorsport in a Toyota Avensis in 2012, achieving a best result of eighth place at Silverstone. He re-joined Ciceley Racing in 2013 and improved significantly, vaulting from 19th in the standings the previous year to seventh and claiming points in every race he finished, with a highlight of a ‘home’ podium at Oulton Park. He stayed with the team in 2014, driving a new Mercedes A-Class and scoring a maiden victory at Brands Hatch.

Adam enjoyed his best season to-date in 2015 with another win at Thruxton and a further six podiums on his way to a career-equalling best of seventh in the standings. 2016 saw the Lancashire racer win the opening weekend and again at Thruxton on the way to ninth in the overall standings.

Morgan scored four podiums on the way to 10th in the 2017 standings. Morgan returned for 2018 – now a fixture at the Lancashire-based Ciceley outfit. He notched a trio of victories – at Donington Park, Thruxton and Rockingham on the way to a strong seventh in the Drivers’ running.

He extended his relationship with Ciceley Motorsport into 2019 securing a total of four podiums throughout the year. Morgan’s 2020 campaign saw the Lancashire driver secure a win at his home circuit of Oulton Park.

With the team revealing its pair of BMW 330i M Sports for 2021, Morgan tackled the rear-wheel drive switch, securing a pair of victories during the campaign.

2022 saw Morgan celebrate his 300th BTCC race during the second contest at Thruxton, and the Lancashire racer followed up the milestone with a victory in the final encounter of the day in Hampshire.

An off-season switch to Manufacturer-backed WSR saw Morgan join Colin Turkington and Stephen Jelley racing for Team BMW for 2023. A season which saw Morgan hit over 350 races in the championship adding four podium results to his resume.

In 2024, Morgan remains at WSR alongside Turkington once more heading into his 13th BTCC championship year.

Aiden Moffat

Biography

Off the back of a three-year stint in karts, Aiden Moffat graduated to Junior Banger racing in 2010 in his native Scotland – to considerable acclaim. The teenager then stepped up to the Ford Fiesta Junior Championship and Scottish Ford Fiesta Championship, narrowly missing out on the laurels in the latter after claiming no fewer than nine victories from ten starts.

Aged just 16 years, ten months and 28 days, Moffat created history in 2013 by becoming the youngest driver ever to enter the BTCC when he made his debut at Knockhill, competing in the Jack Sears Trophy for S2000 cars. He switched to Team HARD’s Volkswagen CC for Silverstone and Brands Hatch and notched up his first points-scoring finishes, before returning in 2014 in a Laser Tools Racing Chevrolet Cruze.

The squad switched to an all-new Mercedes-Benz A-Class for 2015, run by Ciceley Motorsport, and Moffat celebrated a popular maiden top three finish in front of his partisan supporters at Knockhill. Continuing with Laser Tools Racing in 2016, he produced his best BTCC season to-date by a margin of more than 60 points.

In 2017, Moffat went one better still. Not only did he finish a place higher in the Drivers’ standings in 13th, but he managed to secure a maiden victory early on in the campaign at Donington Park. He signed off the season with a second BTCC win following a stellar drive on the famous Brands Hatch GP circuit.

For 2019, Laser Tools Racing ran the A-Class before switching to the Infiniti Q50 for the second half of the campaign. The car finished runner-up in Moffat’s hands at Silverstone later in the year.

Having driven his Infiniti Q50 to 15th overall in 2020, Moffat continued in the Laser Tools Racing machine in his second full campaign in the car for the 2021 season, where he bagged a maiden pole position at Croft and finished in the points on 25 occasions.

The 2022 campaign was Moffat’s ninth full year in the series, and having celebrated his 250th BTCC race during the opener, Moffat bagged a second-place finish in the final encounter at Oulton Park.

In 2023, the Scotsman made the switch to newly rebranded One Motorsport, alongside Josh Cook and Will Powell in a Honda Civic Type R with his best result being a third-place at Thruxton.

In his 11th season, his first to start with over 1000 BTCC points, Moffat is again alongside Cook as the pair move to the Speedworks outfit in the Toyota Corolla.

Colin Turkington

Colin Turkington first raced in the BTCC in 2002 after winning the Ford Credit Fiesta Zetec Championship. For his initial three seasons, the Northern Irishman competed for West Surrey Racing in an MG ZS. A single campaign with VX Racing followed in 2005, before Turkington returned to WSR in 2006. Turkington’s potential was realised in 2009, as he piloted his BMW to six victories and the overall Drivers’ crown.

His success made Turkington the only Ulsterman ever to win the BTCC. From 2010-12, he contested World Touring Car and Scandinavian Touring Car events before making a return to home turf in 2013. Behind the wheel of a brand new WSR BMW 1 Series, Turkington claimed his second title in 2014. The following year, he joined Team BMR, notching four victories en route to fourth in the standings and the fifth Independents’ Trophy of his career.

2016 saw BMR running a quartet of all-new Subaru Levorg GTs, Colin took five race wins that season placing fourth overall. Turkington returned to West Surrey Racing for 2017 securing four victories. Despite a valiant effort, he couldn’t unseat Ashley Sutton from the top of the standings, concluding the season as runner-up.

The Northern Irishman’s only victory of the 2018 season came at Oulton Park, but with the wins shared between a record 17 different drivers, consistency proved to be king and Turkington came out on top to seal his third Drivers’ title. For 2019, Turkington returned looking to seal a record-equalling fourth Drivers’ crown. He did just that, taking five victories finishing just two points ahead of Andrew Jordan and Dan Cammish after a tense title-decider at Brands Hatch GP.

Heading into 2020 as the joint-most successful driver in BTCC history, Turkington secured more podium finishes than any of his rivals, but an unfortunate trio of points-less finishes hampered his chances of a fifth title during an incredibly competitive year. The Northern Irishman did, however, clinch the first-ever Goodyear Wingfoot Award during the campaign, thanks to his consistently impressive performance in qualifying.

Turkington continued with Team BMW for his 17th BTCC campaign, alongside team-mates Tom Oliphant and Stephen Jelley, tallying eight podium finishes and clinching his 60th victory in the series during Donington Park’s penultimate race weekend.

In 2022, Turkington made a strong campaign for the championship, taking a trio of victories, nine further podium finishes, three pole positions – more than any other driver on the grid – plus four fastest laps. Despite his strong showing, the fierce competition kept the 40-year-old outside of the top three, and Turkington concluded the season fourth overall.

Hoping consistency will prove key, the Northern Irishman sticks with Team BMW for the 2024 campaign, as he continues his pursuit of a record fifth title.

Team BMW

West Surrey Racing is a legendary race team with a history dating back to 1981. Team Principal Dick Bennetts was instrumental in the careers of a number of motorsport superstars, including Ayrton Senna. 

WSR made the move into the BTCC in 1996 to run the factory Ford outfit, with Will Hoy taking a first win for the squad in 1998. After fielding ‘works’ Honda Accords between 1999-2000 and spearheading a factory MG effort from 2001-2003, in 2004, the team entered the championship independently, winning the Independents’ title at the first time of asking. A switch to BMW machinery in 2007 proved very successful, as Colin Turkington went on to lift the overall Drivers’ laurels in the final race of 2009. 

With the addition of eBay Motors support in 2012, drivers Rob Collard, Tom Onslow-Cole and Nick Foster piloted WSR to second in the standings. For 2013, the team built no fewer than three BMW 125i M Sport NGTC cars, with Collard and Foster joined by the returning Turkington. The car quickly showed its potential, and the Northern Irishman found himself challenging for the overall Drivers’ championship until the final event of the year. 

More titles followed before BMW officially aligned with West Surrey Racing for 2017 to field a trio of 125i M Sports. Turkington re-signed for the team, as Collard agreed a new deal with the Surrey squad and Andrew Jordan joined the stable under the BMW Pirtek Racing banner. 

The Northern Irishman won the title in an ultra-competitive 2018 campaign. His only triumph of the season came at Oulton Park, but with the wins shared between a record 17 different drivers, consistency proved to be king and Turkington came out on top to seal his third Drivers’ trophy – all achieved in West Surrey Racing-run BMW machinery. 

In 2019, WSR and BMW entered a trio of brand new 330i M Sports for Turkington, Jordan and Tom Oliphant. Turkington and Jordan battled for glory throughout the season, taking five and six wins respectively, with Turkington ultimately emerging on top to secure a record-equalling fourth title. 

Multiple victories, along with further Manufacturers’ and Teams’ honours have been notched over the seasons since and in 2024 Team BMW has retained its driver pairing of Colin Turkington and Adam Morgan. 

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK

Formed in 2005, Speedworks Motorsport entered the BTCC in 2011, becoming one of the first teams to field an NGTC-spec car with a Toyota Avensis for Tony Hughes. The Cheshire-based operation branched out in 2012 by adding a second car for championship debutant Adam Morgan. 

That helped the squad to tenth in the final Teams’ standings that year and sixth in the Independents’ title chase. Following Hughes’ retirement and Morgan’s departure, Dave Newsham and Ollie Jackson took over driving duties in 2013, with the former proving to be a regular points-scorer and annexing a top ten championship position as Speedworks improved to seventh in the Teams’ table and fifth-best Independent. For 2014, the outfit slimmed down to a single-car entry for promising three-time Ginetta champion Tom Ingram, whilst offering support to the Handy Motorsport squad. 

Speedworks retained Ingram for 2015 and – coupled with engineering upgrades to the Toyota over the off-season – its young driver claimed two podiums on his way to 13th in the overall standings. 

Having finally reached the BTCC rostrum, the partnership continued into 2016 as the goalposts shifted once again with Speedworks and Ingram targeting their first outright win – which duly came from pole position in the curtain-raising round at Brands Hatch.  

Ingram went close to the title in 2018, taking the battle right down to the wire with wins at Brands Hatch, Donington Park and Silverstone. He narrowly missed out on the coveted Drivers’ crown by just 12 points in a straight fight with multiple champion Colin Turkington, but did once again seal the Independents’ laurels for both himself and his team. 

Speedworks acquired Toyota factory backing for 2019, becoming Team Toyota GB with Ginsters and transitioning to a Manufacturer entry as Ingram scored four victories behind the wheel of the brand-new Toyota Corolla. 

Ingram remained with the team in 2020 as Speedworks rebranded to become Toyota Gazoo Racing UK with Ginsters, and enjoyed a number of podium finishes and wins, including an impressive double win at Thruxton. 

2021 marked a new chapter for the team as it expands to a two-car line-up of Rory Butcher and series returnee Sam Smelt. The team then retained the services of Butcher for 2022, with Ricky Collard joining Toyota GAZOO Racing UK in his first full campaign in the BTCC. Butcher raced an impressive campaign, continuing his dominance at Silverstone and ending the season with a double podium – securing fifth place in the overall Drivers’ standings.  

Butcher and Collard were joined by George Gamble in 2023, but it proved to be a challenging campaign. 

Now for 2024… it’s all change at TOYOTA GAZOO Racing UK as former World Champion Rob Huff and Jack Sears Trophy Champion Andrew Watson join the squad.
