Racing Series

BTCC

2009 livery for Harry Vaulkhard's Lacetti, ready for testing at Rockingham.

In 2009, the team planned to enter two 2008 specification Chevrolet Lacettis in the British Touring Car Championship. They had support throughout the season from RML who run the works Chevrolet team in the World Touring Car Championship. Harry Vaulkhard who drove a Lacetti in the BTCC in 2008 for Robertshaw Racing, drove one of the cars. They couldn't secure a funded driver for the second car, and was used as a spare shell when Vaulkhard had an accident at Croft, sufficient enough to deem his original car unrepairable.

Formula Renault

In 2009 Tempus Sport entered cars in the British Formula Renault Championship, which is part of the TOCA tour. This side of operations were overseen by former champion Neil Riddiford. Two cars were entered for Ukrainian Max Dmytrenko and Croatian Sasha Radola.

Team Split

In July 2009, the team split. Coleman formed Bamboo Engineering, and Vaulkhard drove the same 2008-specification Lacetti as he had done throughout the season up to the split. Everyone who had worked on his car to that point moved across to Bamboo.[2]
