IBCorp Racing - what's the story behind this team?

1/17/2017 8:44pm Edited Date/Time 3/21/2018 10:35am
Ryan Hughes was on the PulpMX show last night.. I had no idea that Ryano is now the IBCorp Racing team manager (or that this team even existed, but apparently they do - riders are Cole Martinez and Martin Castelo).. Hughes said the team is funded by a private equity firm based in Ecuador (IBCorp). Oddly, both the IBCorp company website and IBCorp Racing website are "coming soon"/being updated.. Google doesn't pull up much info at all on the company. Team: http://www.ibcorpracing.com/ Company: http://www.ibcorp.com.ec/

When I think of non-factory race team owners, I think of guys like Mike Genova who have shit tons of money and decide to throw it at funding a race team like it's their golf game. What I don't think of, is an offshore financial investment company that manages peoples stock portfolios..

I understand Martin Castelo (250 West) is from Ecuador, so I assume there must be a connection there. It just sounded kinda strange the way Ryno explained the whole thing about how the team approached him about the deal so last minute (2 months ago) and how the $$ is coming out of Ecuador through a subsidiary based out of Miami (IB Corp Racing). Anyone know the story behind this team??

You're asking too many questions. It seems shady AF, but there putting money into our sport. Honestly after hearing it myself being an MBA student I wondered why but I highly doubt we're going to find an answer.

IB Corp is an investment banking group, someone high up in it is a close friend of Martin Castellos, so they're sponsoring this team. Last year, they did a small East coast effort with Martin on Hondas, but switched to Yamahas this year. Technically Hoodie (Jonathan Lower) is the team manager, while Ryan Hughes is like a team coach. They have two mechanics, Enzo racing is doing their suspension, and they're using Twisted Development for engines. Cole Martinez was added for this year as well.

Johnny on the spot as usual, ML. Thanks. I figured Castellos was in tight with someone at IBCorp who pulls the purse strings

The IB Corp team supported Martin Mastelo, Keith Tucker (who are long time friends from MTF) and Marshal Weltin (at least transported the bikes to the rounds) for the outdoor last summer.

But now they have more support from Rock River Yamaha so they are able to run a better program.

Brent Myron, that guy was a stud mechanic. Seems strange after all those years with Geico and teams like that...that he is wrenching for this outfit. Anyone know more about his story?

Yup, They're either doing the race bikes out of that building or Twisted Development (not sure which, but they're literally a few doors down from each other in the block of moto companies... On the same street you have DT-1/Mika Metals, KTM HQ and raceshop, Husqvarna HQ and raceshop, Rocky Mountain KTM's shop, WP USA suspension, VP Fuels, Twisted Development, KTM US R&D, Icon gym, Panic Rev, Faster USA wheels...

Hello my friend. I do know the origin of this team. Is money laundering from Ecuador indeed. The familia Castelo are personal friends of the Ex Security Minister of Ecuador, Jose Serrano. He was the President of the Congress. He was recently caught. Now, I can say the truth even though I am risking my life. I would like to be in touch with you guys trough Instagram and Social Media. I was married to his uncle. He took my two kids away from me, when I found about this. The Corrupted Police kicked me out from my kid’s school and I never got to see them again. I live and I’m protected in America by my american husband.
