The World English Sporting Championship will take place at E J Churchill’s award-winning West Wycombe Estate shooting grounds in Buckinghamshire from July 12 to 19, 2025. The competition rotates between England and the USA each year to attract world-class competitors from every corner of the globe. The championship reaches its peak level in English sporting clay shooting, offering a £50,000 prize fund with more than 200 challenging targets across various disciplines.
The official championship vehicle will be the Oshe Zambezi pickup truck, which is based on the Land Rover Defender 110 chassis. The Zambezi requires more than 2000 hours of customised work from its original Defender 110 base before it becomes a combination of off-road strength and high-end luxury features.
The World English Sporting Championship embodies the principles that Oshe Automotive stands for, according to founder David Lane. “The partnership between us honours both precision in competitive shooting and automotive craftsmanship while celebrating our shared heritage. The Zambezi delivers both exploration-ready features and elegant comforts, which make it an ideal match for this important tournament.”
The Oshe Zambezi features a 6.2-litre V8 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, combined with electronically controlled TracTive suspension. The vehicle also features AP Racing brakes and bespoke heated Muirhead leather seats. Every Oshe Automotive vehicle includes authentic African elements through its selection of Acacia and Zebrano wood components and exclusive Ndebele artwork from artist Anna Selomo at Oshe’s Limpopo reserve.
E J Churchill has maintained its operations since 1891 at a 35-acre shooting facility, which people consider the premier clay shooting site in England. The West Wycombe Estate has served as the Dashwood family’s home since 1698, while also hosting international championships and boasting state-of-the-art facilities.
The championship’s dedication to British sporting excellence at the world level receives backing from Oshe Automotive through their vehicle partnership. International competitors will join the event from more than twenty nations, which will include significant teams from the USA, Europe, and the Commonwealth.
The championship week at the World English Sporting will include four major competitions, including the 200-target World English Sporting main event, together with World Sportrap and British Open Super Sporting, and the well-known “Yanks vs Brits” exhibition match. The opening ceremony on July 17 will introduce international teams to the event, while the championship concludes with a 25-target Super Final, followed by prize presentations on July 19.
Oshe Automotive designs vehicles that easily move between urban streets and off-road expeditions. Every vehicle allows for complete customisation of its body configurations, including double-cab pickup, station wagon, and soft-top options, as well as paint colours and interior leather designs, which create unique, owner-specific vehicles while preserving the original DNA.
The partnership showcases Oshe Automotive’s growing premium lifestyle collaborations while strengthening its market position at the intersection of luxury and adventure through exceptional sporting achievements.
