2 months ago
Sam Osborne will line-up alongside Andy Neate in the two Motorbase Performance-entered Ford Focus STs for the 2021 BTCC season.
After confirmation that Ollie Jackson will partner Jake Hill in the second of the MB Motorsport Fords, Osborne – who was partner to Hill last season – will be paired up with Neate as he continues with the Ford team into a second season.
Osborne’s father Pete purchased Motorbase along with AmD boss Shaun Hollamby over the winter.
“I’m thrilled to be working with Motorbase Performance this year,” he said. “With this team, I can continue my progression in 2021. Last year I began to really settle into the series, so my aim for this season is to keep pushing myself as hard as I can and fight for the Jack Sears Trophy.

With that in mind, here is our annual quiz of the year; a bumper 20-question edition to celebrate a remarkable year of racing in the context of such adversity.
