Handy Motorsport – Legends Cars season finale
Next weekend sees the Handy Motorsport driver Stephen Treherne head to Brands Hatch for the final round of the championship. Stephen in the Karcher backed #12 car is some 395 points in the lead of the championship but with 1200 points still up for grabs it is still wide open.
Handy Motorsport picked up the championship lead with early season pace setter Simon Belcher in #11 car at round 2 before the mantle was taken up by Stephen Treherne who has maintained the championship lead for every round since and into the season finale. The Karcher backed duo have picked up 15 fastest laps between them and Stephen has taken 19 race wins this season alone.
With the teams expansion into the Air Asia Renault Clio Cup, Simon withdrew from the Legends Cars Championship part way through the season to concentrate on the huge step up to the Clio Cup while continuing to manage Stephen’s championship charge.
Stephen will be concentrating on bring home the championship title but still needs some solid results at Brands, he has been the championship runner up for the last two years so second place is not an option.
Handy Motorsport will also be launching its long awaited 2 seater Legends Cars experience, the car has been 2 years in the building and is the most advanced and powerful 2 seater Legends Car in the world. As well as spectacular high speed laps around the race track it is also adapted to safely perform doughnuts and burnouts to thrill the passengers aboard.
As well as the 2 seater Simon Belcher’s 2011 Renault Clio Cup car will be on display and it will be the last chance to see it before the new 2012 car is launched at Autosport International in January.

Project BTCC It has long been the ambition of Simon Belcher and Handy Motorsport to move to the pinnacle of British motorsport and onto the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) stage. The cost of the series has been prohibitive in the past but now with the new generation touring car rules and the reduced costs of the Renault Clio Cup introduced in 2011 the series is now a realistic and commercially viable opportunity for the team to launch – Project BTCC. |

2010 Legends Cars
Championship - Rounds 6 & 7, Lydden Hill 26th/27th
June 2010 Sunshine and Legends was the order of the weekend at Lydden Hill Circuit in Kent for the 6th & 7th rounds of The 2010 CPC Legends Cars Championship, The Kärcher Handy Motorsport Team with drivers Stephen & Simon would be looking to turn their race pace into points.
This was the first visit of The Legends
Championship to Lydden Hill in 9 years, which
meant that most of the drivers would have little
or no knowledge of the circuit,
whilst only a mile long, Lydden still remains a
very testing circuit, with many undulation
changes. |

2010 Legends Cars Championship - Rounds 13 & 14, Croft 9th & 10th October 2010 It was back to the North Yorkshire circuit of Croft for the latest rounds of the 2010 CPC National Legends Cars Championship. Both Stephen & Simon were hoping for a weekend of points, with Stephen hoping to maintain his position at the top of the championship. A dry Saturday morning was the order of the day. Whilst it was cold it was also dry, both drivers set about familiarising themselves with the circuit ready for the weekends action. Due to the track temperature being cold it would mean that all the drivers times would improve through the warm-up, with fastest laps coming at the end of the session. Stephen was 2nd fastest and Simon was 5th fastest. |

2010 Legends Cars Championship - Round 12, Donington Park 27th September 2010
A long awaited return to a truly
international class racing circuit, Donington
Park was the venue for Round 12 of the
championship. With Stephen going into this round
leading the championship it could be a tense
affair. The circuit was only reopened 3 weeks
ago following a much publicised closure due to
financial issues. The team would be looking for
some solid points without any damage. |

2010 Legends Cars Championship Next stop was Pembrey Circuit for Simon, Stephen & The Kärcher Handy Motorsport Team for round’s 10 and 11 of The 2010 CPC Legends Cars Championship. Pembrey, is almost universally liked and is a true drivers circuit. The demanding, tight and twisty 1.45 mile circuit features 2 hairpin bends, with the heavy braking areas leading into those hairpins at Hatchets and Brooklands which make these good places to see some great overtaking manoeuvres and then getting the power on as early as possible. Yet more close and exciting racing was on the cards for this weekend. |

2010 Legends Cars Championship Another weekend of action packed Legends racing was hopefully what lay ahead at the most beautiful circuit in Britain, the only circuit that has it’s own beach. Anglesey circuit or Parc Mon if you are Welsh is not just a circuit it is 3 circuits, they will be using the Coastal circuit with it’s famous Corkscrew on Saturday & the longer International circuit on Sunday. With Stephen going into the weekend leading the championship points would be the name of the game, And for Simon the same having made up good ground over some of his rivals in the previous 2 rounds. I must also mention that it was at this round in last years championship that Simon had his spectacular accident when both He & Nick Brace collided. |

2010 Legends Cars Championship - Mallory Park in Leicestershire affectionately known as “The Friendly Circuit” is the venue for the 5th Round of The 2010 CPC Legends Cars National Championship. Another full grid of 28 cars will line up with not only 5 former Legends champions, but also triple British Rally Champion Mark Higgins. The circuit is a favourite with spectators but not with every driver probably due to Shaw's Hairpin, the tightest corner on any UK tracks. Last year’s round at this circuit was good for the team, let’s hope that good fortune continues today.. |
