Are you sure they actually OWN the cars? As far as I heard, the whole Nissan programme is 'owned' by Onroak, not ESM. ESM (or Ed Brown or Tequila Patron) funds it, but they don't own anything. Onroak could take the Nissan programme to another team if they wished to.
At least .. that's how I remember hearing it.
