Tottenham Hotspur Superleague Formula team was the racing team of Tottenham Hotspur F.C., a football team that competes in England in the Premier League. The Tottenham Hotspur F.C. racing team competed in the Superleague Formula for only three seasons. It was operated in 2008 first by GTA Motor Competición and for the other two seasons was operated by Alan Docking Racing.

Tottenham didn't continue the sponsorship after the end of the 2010 season and with the format changing to national teams Dolby then raced for the English team in the 2011 series. However just after two races in 2011 the Superleague folded.

2008 season

In the 2008 Superleague Formula season Tottenham finished 11th overall in the standings. The Tottenham driver was Duncan Tappy in all rounds except the 2008 Estoril Superleague Formula round where Dominik Jackson was driving. The team's best placing was 2nd in the 2nd race of the 2008 Zolder Superleague Formula round.

2009 season

For the 2009 Superleague Formula season Craig Dolby was confirmed as the driver and Alan Docking Racing would now operate the team.[1] Dolby drove for the Anderlecht team the previous year.

At the Donington Park course Dolby finished the grid in sixth place. The first race Dolby finished fifth place and the second race in forth place.[2]

2010 season

The 2010 season started off at Silverstone and in the first race of 25 laps Craig Dolby took first position on the podium.[3] After two races Tottenham had a lead of 48 out of 50 points.[4] By the end of the season Dolby finished as runner-up and had been reported to have earned €1.8 million.[5]
