2008
For 2008, Highcroft racing recruited veteran open wheel star Scott Sharp and with him came a lucrative sponsorship deal with Patron Tequila (as well as a striking new livery). Sharp would be joined by David Brabham for the season with Stephan Johansson taking the 3rd seat in longer endurance races. 2008 has already been one of much success for Patron Highcroft Racing with the team scoring their first class win at Long Beach and they achieved Acura's first overall victory at Lime Rock.
