"I’ve seen the team working at Macau and sometimes at the World Endurance as well. I think this squad is a professional team with a great bunch of guys. I can’t wait to get working with them all. The all seem extremely competent and racing with the Team Penz13.com BMW Racing will I'm sure be a lot of fun.“

"With Jimmy now confirmed we have our team assembled for the 2014 Road Racing season. He is about to race his third year on the Isle of Man and will be looking to build on his first two seasons.
