Simon Belcher competed in the British Touring Car Championship during the 2015 season, his only year of single-seater racing on record. Driving for Handy Motorsport across 19 rounds, he finished in a field of professional and semi-professional touring car drivers without recording a win or podium, averaging a classified finishing position of 20th. His career placed him among club-level competitors; his Racer Rating of 1,933 reflects performance well below the semi-professional threshold that characterises the BTCC's regular grid.[1]
The quality of his competition was substantial. Belcher raced repeatedly against multiple FIA-graded Silver and Gold drivers, including 2-time champion Tom Ingram, 1-time champion Colin Turkington and reigning champion Gordon Shedden. Across 16 to 17 shared races with each of these front-running professionals, he finished ahead of them only once apiece, demonstrating the scale of the gap between his pace and that of the championship contenders. He also raced against Adam Morgan and Árón Taylor-Smith, both accomplished touring car drivers, and finished ahead of Morgan once in 17 races but behind Taylor-Smith in all but one of their 17 encounters. His single outing ahead of champions Ingram and Turkington, and a handful of other isolated results against stronger drivers, represent the highlights of an otherwise unsuccessful campaign.[2]
