What I meant by them being a perfect match is that the kind of people who enjoy "gentleman's clubs" are very much the sort of people who would be fans of ES Racing. Chris James is exactly the kind of guy you'd expect to own a sleazy joint like that.

Nowt wrong with the sponsorship, it is just a very appropriate type of sponsor for the reputation the team has built themselves.

So I wasn't far off with this suggestion then (from Fastlane)...

Could that be Newsham and an ex-Dynamics Honda Civic perhaps?

Some interesting comments by Newsham, this being the one that stuck out the most...

"Shaun Hollamby, team principle of AmD is a former BTCC driver; he knows exactly what it is like to be in my shoes."

That's 5 teams in 4 years for Newsham.

I wonder where this leaves Speedworks? I can see them having the weakest driver lineup in the field next year.

Who writes these articles? It's principal.

I've added both Motorbase and WSR to the confirmed list as they have both announced that they will be running 3 cars in 2014.

Yes, I led a sheltered upbringing.

So I googled them, they're a strip joint, nothing really outrageous there, when they get one of the strippers actually racing the car (like what happened in the 1990's with a porn mag), that'll become something to talk about... :lol:

In other news, rumours are that Robert Kubica has been contacted by Chris James about taking a 2014 seat if the team gets into BTCC. James was overheard making demands of his new sponsor, insisting using words like "experienced" and "pole" and "on the podium for sure". Kubica was unavailable for comment.
