In 2012 Team ES Racing.com acquired two ex-Triple Eight Vauxhall Vectra. Chris guided Team ES Racing to win more races in the Vectras than triple eight did in the previous year.

Chris James' best finish came at Brands Hatch and Silverstone where he finished 12th. He has gone on record to state that he was happy with this & felt that top 10 finishes would have been achieved had he continued in the championship.

James is the only BTCC Driver & Principal in history to have created & run a team that scored two race wins & numerous podiums within its first two years of competing in the championship. He has gone on record to say "Our achievements, despite having one of the smallest budgets on the grid are a testament to the whole team. Our siege mentality, work ethic and professionalism are a credit to everyone who has ever been involved with our team".

Chris continues to plan a return to the BTCC, whilst not ruling out the many other prestigious championships available to compete in. Team ES Racing.com & he plan to compete in various 12 & 24 hour races during 2014. Races in the Netherlands, Spain & Argentina are planned.
