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.
