Three-time champion Ash Sutton finished second in the drivers’ points this year and team-mate Dan Cammish eighth to give Motorbase’s NAPA Racing UK sub-team the title, but with four race wins between them the squad was looking to switch to rear-wheel-drive machinery in 2023.
The top rear-wheel-drive car, the BMW 330e M Sport, took nine wins in 2022, with official BMW team West Surrey Racing gaining the manufacturers’ title for the marque, and Jake Hill and Colin Turkington finishing comfortably 1-2 in the qualifying-based Goodyear Wingfoot Award.
