Legend Racer Simon Belcher Tests Clio at Mallory Park

Simon Belcher has been racing in the Legends for six years and is now looking for a new challenge with a possible move to the ELF Renault Clio Cup Championship.

Simon tested the Amery Motorsport team car at Mallory Park and coming from rear wheel drive to front wheel drive, along with driving on slicks, meant it was a steep learning curve on the day.

After an early spin on cold tyres and adapting to a different driving style, it was not long before Simon got to grips with the car and took more than a second off his earlier lap times.

Simon told the team, “Although the car is a lot different to the Legends I normally drive,
I really did like the Clio and once I’d got heat into the slicks and adapted my driving style, it was great fun to drive and hopefully with the help from my sponsors I will be able to race in 2009 with Amery Motorsport”.
