12 January 2005 – Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell have set up a new company, 2MB Sports Management Ltd, to provide a management service for racing drivers.

The two former British Formula One drivers will represent drivers within motorsport, offering a comprehensive portfolio including legal, commercial, marketing and communications services. Announcement of new signings to 2MB are expected shortly.

Martin Brundle says:
‘Mark approached me with this concept and I am delighted to join forces with him. Together we have a tremendous knowledge and experience of all aspects of motorsport. As team mates at Brabham, Ligier and F1-ITV we know that we work well together and have complimentary skills and outlook. Mark will lead the organisation and be the first point of contact, and I will contribute as and when my experience and contacts are needed. Hopefully this is a business which will grow over the next few years’

Mark Blundell adds:
‘2MB will focus on young talent and we hope we will be able to promote British drivers. We will also be looking to work with drivers from around the world competing at national and international level. With the depth of experience that Martin and I share, we aim to develop the business and grow the company.’
