Luton-based Team ES Racing has announced their 2012 plans with intention to run a 2 car NGTC-spec team in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.

Talking at the Motorsport UK show in Coventry Team Principal Chris James said: "We are delighted to be able to prove our long term commitment to the BTCC and to have not been a flash in the pan or a one season wonder."

Following their debut year in the BTCC with the Chevrolet Lacetti the team will be looking to build on the knowledge and experience gained.

"Moving forward the team is able to grow on solid foundations built in the first season, this will allow us to finish regularly in the top 10 and we will be looking to continue to better this."

The team also unveiled they are in talks with various drivers with the plan of adding a second car to the team. "Adding a second NGTC-spec car was always our intention and now this is almost in place it confirms our standing as one of the top flight teams in the BTCC"
