Un-Limited Motorsport raced in BTCC in 2024 and 2025. The CUPRA will be absent from the BTCC grid for the first time since the car was introduced in 2021.

Among other broadened permissions, the new rules will allow for the homologation of cars not sold in the UK, and that proviso has been brought forward to this year, allowing NAPA Racing UK to enter the saloon-based Ford Focus Titanium, rather than the hatchback version they ran before. It looks absolutely awesome.
