James Thompson joins Münnich Motorsport

James Thompson will contest the opening races of the WTCR at the wheel of a Honda Civic run by ALL-INKL.COM Münnich Motorsport.
He is scheduled to drive the German team’s third car in Morocco, Hungary, Germany, Netherlands and Portugal. A decision on who will drive the car for the remaining five race weekends will be taken at a later date. Yann Ehrlacher from France and Esteban Guerrieri from Argentina will complete the line-up for 2018.
“We all are very happy to welcome back James who raced with us in 2016,” said Dominik Greiner, Team Manager.
Thompson said: “I was sat at home when René Münnich called and asked if I fancy doing a few races. Well it took me 30 seconds to make up my mind. It’s great and a real surprise. It’s really nice to be back. I remember it being a great team atmosphere from 2016. Everything is a little new but hopefully my experience and a little grey hair will pull me through.”
The 44-year-old is no stranger to Honda power having raced for the Japanese marque in the British Touring Car Championship, the FIA European Touring Car Cup and the WTCC. He won twice the BTCC and the ETCC titles.
