🇬🇧 Josh Cook

Josh Cook is an established professional touring car driver with a Racer Rating of 5,141, placing him among the front-runners in his field; this is the level of a full-time seat at the top of a national championship and wins in strong fields. Cook has spent his entire recorded career in the British Touring Car Championship across twelve seasons from 2015 to 2026, accumulating 21 wins and 56 podiums from 325 starts for Speedworks Corolla Racing. His average finishing position of ninth reflects consistent competitiveness in a fiercely contested series where he regularly races against multiple former champions and Gold-graded professionals.[1]

Cook's standing is defined as much by the calibre of opposition he regularly races as by his own wins. His head-to-head record against the strongest drivers in the championship reveals the depth of the field he competes in; he has beaten multiple-time BTCC champion Ash Sutton 88 times across 245 shared races, though finished behind him 157 times, and has finished ahead of 2024 BTCC champion Jake Hill in 113 of their 227 encounters. Against Tom Ingram, the 2022 and 2025 BTCC champion, Cook finished ahead 94 times but behind him 170 times in 264 races together, underscoring that while Cook can beat elite drivers, he does so at a rate that reflects Ingram's superior standing rather than establishing Cook as his peer. Cook's record against Adam Morgan, a Silver-graded professional at nearly identical rating, shows near parity at 124 wins to 128 losses over 252 races, and he has a commanding advantage over Aiden Moffat at 174 finishes ahead to 76 behind in 250 races, suggesting Cook sits securely among the stronger drivers in this field without reaching the championship-winning tier above him.[2]

Cook entered the BTCC following a runner-up finish in the 2014 Renault Clio Cup United Kingdom, establishing himself as a professional touring car driver from the outset. His career has been spent primarily at Speedworks, with a spell driving for BTC Racing that accounts for 87 of his 325 starts. Through 2026, Cook remains an active competitor in the championship; his most recent activity shows a single podium across four rounds to mid-season, and recent reports indicate he continues as a key part of Speedworks' line-up, with the team positioning him as a central figure in their campaign.
