Lewis Selby (born 18 July 1980) is a British racing driver and managing director who currently competes in the British Touring Car Championship for NAPA Racing UK. He is the managing director for NAPA Auto Parts UK.

Selby first appeared in NAPA colours in the Mini Miglia Championship before driving at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Career

Car racing debut (2003–2005)

Selby would debut in cars in 2003, competing in the Mini Se7en Challenge. That year, the likes of Nick Tandy and Joe Tandy were competing against him. He would finish 10th. Selby would compete in the series in 2004 as well but dropped to 12th.

Selby moved to another Mini racing series for 2005, this time the Mini Miglia Challenge, finishing a lowly 13th.

Initial return to racing (2015–2018)

After 10 years outside of racing, 2015 saw him return to the Mini Se7en Challenge, where he placed 15th in the standings. Staying in the series for 2 more seasons, Selby placed 3rd in 2016 and then followed it with a 2017 placement of 2nd.

Mini Challenge debut (2022)

Selby returned to racing after a 4 year absence, and moved to the spotlight for 2022, with well-known brands NAPA and Alliance Racing running his car in the Mini Challenge UK. Selby only stood on the podium twice, being 2 Directors' Cup wins at Brands Hatch and Knockhill. The year saw him place P11 in the standings.

In 2024, Selby returned in the Mini Challenge UK, still partnered by Jamie Osborne at Alliance Racing. Selby won the final race of the Donington Park weekend, but failed to finish P1 for the rest of the season, only leading 21 laps throughout. Despite this, the year saw him rise to P7 in the standings.

For 2025, Selby was once again at the Alliance Racing fold, partnered by Jamie Osborne, Alex Solley and Cameron Richardson. In the end, Selby came third in the standings, scoring 1 win, being Race 2 at Oulton Park. Former Mini Miglia rival Nick Tandy joined Selby for Brands Hatch due to ill health for Jamie Osborne.

British Touring Car Championship debut (2026)

For 2026, Selby entered the British Touring Car Championship with NAPA Racing UK.
