As we draw ever closer to the second half of this year’s campaign, our celebration of 2025’s BTCC winners so far — the Perfect Ten — turns to the second multiple winner of this series as we approach the seventh winner, Dan Rowbottom.

Now four-time BTCC race winner Rowbottom has stepped up in the first half of the 2025 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season, doubling his career number of victories in the span of four races for NAPA Racing UK.

Here is how the Kidderminster racer achieved his triumphs…

Snetterton – Race 2

Rowbottom placed himself in the prime position for the second bout of the day, starting from fourth on the grid. Not having to run the hard tyre as the front three did, the #32 should theoretically have more pace early on in the race. It was not as simple as running away with the victory, as Dan Lloyd would jump Rowbottom of the line before conceding the place back before the end of the opening tour.

The Worcester-native would then scythe his way through the hard-tyre-runners to make his mark at the front before a familiar face would reappear. Lloyd returned to the front of the field to showcase one of the best battles we have seen all season, with the Ford Focus racer once again returning to the front of the field. The #32 would then control the gap to the line to the closing Hyundai i30 N of Adam Morgan, who finished second.

Thruxton – Race 3

Starting from fifth in the reversed-grid final bout of the day, Rowbottom would launch inside the rostrum positions by the end of the complex and would start the second lap with only leader Jake Hill in front. By the subsequent trip through the opening sequence of corners, the #32 was at the head of the field.

Impressively, the NAPA Racing UK driver has gained seven positions across his two race victories, yet to win, starting from inside the top three. After getting to the front, the #32 controlled the gap to the cars behind, winning by over two seconds. The victory would see Rowbottom jump up to third in the Drivers’ Standings.

Championship Outlook

At the halfway point in the season, Rowbottom has since dropped to fourth in the Drivers’ Standings, two points behind his teammate Dan Cammish. Being one of only three drivers to take multiple wins, Rowbottom is in a better place than ever to fight for a maiden championship.

The 2025 campaign resumes at Croft (2-3 August), where Rowbottom will be looking to continue his strong start to the season.
