HANDY MOTORSPORT

Base: Northwich, Cheshire

Team principal: Simon Belcher Car: Toyota Avensis This is a huge season for both Austin and Handy Motorsport. Team boss Simon Belcher is desperate to get a foothold in the BTCC as a serious player, while Austin is rid of all the demands on his time and can now focus on just driving the car rather than running a team. Austin is new to a front-wheel-drive touring car but is very happy with the way pre-season
