Autotech Group sponsors NAPA Racing UK BTCC team

Autotech Group has been named as a sponsor of the NAPA Racing UK team ahead of the 2023 British Touring Car Championship season.

Alongside its logo adorning the NAPA Racing UK team’s cars, Autotech Group is set to expand upon its national competition for automotive students to experience a day working as a race mechanic at championship level.

Initially launched as part of Autotech Group’s sponsorship of Bennetts British Superbike Championship rider, Storm Stacey, and Ruben Hage Racing from the Ginetta GT5 Challenge during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, the competition generated significant success while fueling the automotive ambition of young talent.

Now, through the platform of NAPA Racing UK, Autotech Group is set to double the number of competition spaces available to students studying for an automotive qualification at a UK College.

At each race event, starting with the first round of the season at Donington Park on the 22nd and 23rd April, students will get the chance to spend the day with the team’s race mechanics and get up close to the cars that made their successful debuts on the UK race scene last year, including those driven by super team combination Dan Cammish and Ash Sutton.

“The British Touring Car Championship is one of the best-loved, most illustrious motor racing championships in the world, captivating millions of fans every year,” comments Gavin White, CEO of Autotech Group.

“We are delighted to announce our sponsorship of the NAPA Racing UK team who enjoyed a victorious maiden season last year when they took home the BTCC Teams Championship title.

“Our ambition is to help create a stream of talent for the automotive industry to stem the skills shortage through our Autotech Academy division and continue to ignite a passion for the sector amongst young people.”
