Here's a biography of THM Racing, a never ending story!  make sure you are part of it by becoming a site visitor, a fan, a sponsor or just a Race day visitor, what ever you choose we look forward to welcoming you and to your support.

 

1997 -

Watford based TH Motorsport was founded by Trevor Humphrey in 1997. During the first three years, the team ran circuit cars in the MGF, Rover Tomcat and Proton Coupe series. There was  also time to offer technical assistance to the Seat Works Team and others in the World, European and British Rally Championships.

 

2000

The team stepped up a gear by designing, building and running a National Saloon Proton Satria GTI in the cup competition on the power tour competition on the Power Tour programme.

 

2001

The team were asked to run a VW Vento in the flourishing VW Cup series. After winning at Snetterton with Steven Wood at the wheel, Team Principal, Humphrey decided to put the Proton back into service and give Wood his chance in the British Touring Car Championship Production Class. From the four races entered, Wood finished three and ended the season with four championship points.

 

2002

Saw the Proton replaced with a Mitsubishi Carisma for Wood to have a second shot at selected rounds in Britain's premier motorsport series.

 

2003 - TH Motorsport down-scaled its own on track activities to concentrate on several technical assistance programmes for other teams in high level national championships. However from mid season on  there was enough time to run a VW Golf 1.8T in the Volkswagen Racing Cup with a novice driver.

 

2004 

The Volkswagen Racing Cup was on the TH Motorsport menu again in 2004 running the BP Ultimate VW Golf TDI with Mark Thomas driving. This programme was dovetailed with managing John George's first entry into the MSA British Touring Car Championship with a Mardi Gras Motorsport run LPG Honda Civic which was later replaced with a Peugeot 406 Coupe. TH Motorsport also managed John's 24 Hour class win in a Honda Civic, again run by Mardi Gras Motorsport.

    

2005 

A sabbatical year  for TH Motorsport. The team moved to larger premises and focused on the newly formed Road Car Division.

 

2006  

Saw a low key return to the racetracks in the Volkswagen Racing Cup, assisting with the running of Ken Lark's VW Corrado.  TH Motorsport  also built and ran a VW Golf TDI for Ken in the Silverstone 24 Hours which finished 3rd in class, against Lotus Exiges and the like and a very creditable 15th overall.

 

2007 

TH Motorsport and John George returned to the British Touring Car Championship with the "TH Motorsport Racing with JAG" Honda Integra. Ken Lark's VW Golf TDI was again run in the Silverstone 24 Hours, this time to even greater effect, winning the new diesel class and finishing 13th overall.

 

2008 

Spectacularly and rather unfortunately  will be best remembered for John George's dramatic multi-roll exit from the last round of the HiQ MSA BTCC at Brands Hatch, in the TH Motorsport Racing with JAG Honda Integra. A disappointing end to the eason which saw the Honda written off. Thankfully John was able to walk away from the accident with no lasting ill effects and in fact was out again at Brands Hatch a few weeks later, this time partnered by his son Kevin (his first ever race) in a TH Motorsport Britcar Production S1 Honda Integra. Tim Saunders completed a very creditable Britcar Production S1 campaign, finishing 3rd in Class 2. TH Motorsport were unable to defend their 2007 diesel class win in the Britcar 24Hours due to clashing BTCC commitments.

 

2009 

TH Motorsport tending a John George, TH Motorsport Racing with JAG Honda Integra, albeit a newly acquired version with black colour scheme which replaced the car written off the year before.  John was joined in the team for the last two events of the season by Matt Hamilton making a very creditable debut in the BTCC in the team's Honda Civic Type R. Tim Saunders continued in Britcar Production S1 with his TH Motorsport prepared and run Honda Civic finishing the year in 4th position in Class 2.

 

 

2010 

With John George leaving for pastures new in 2010, Matt Hamilton became the teams principle focus in the BTCC. Matt competed in four events at the beginning of the year in the TH Motorsport Honda Civic Type R before the car was pensioned off to make way for future BTCC projects. A huge amount of TV coverage was generated by Matt's stellar performances, a future BTCC star in the making. Tim Saunders diversified his racing activities in 2010 appearing in both Britcar and the Dunlop SportMaxx Production Cup with his usual Honda Civic (Britcar) and Class A Ford Focus ST (SportMaxx). TH Motorsport also had a busy year "off circuit" moving all it's operations into considerably larger premises on the Watford  Business Park.

 

 

2011 

A reduced presence "on circuit" by TH Motorsport as the majority of the race divisions work continues in the "Back Office". The Honda Civic of Tim Saunders will compete in the newly named Britcar Dunlop Production GTN Championship and looked to take some rounds of the also newly named Dunlop Production Touring Car Trophy.

 

2014

Returning to the Volkswagen Racing Cup, which has become a high profile saloon car championship, was both challenging, but exciting for the re-launched THM Racing team.  With a packed grid for every round, boasting an average of 34 cars per race, it was certainly a close battle.

 

Despite starting preparations late and not contesting in two race events, THM Racing achieved above expectations for its first year in the championship, with 3 top 10 qualifications and a race victory at the final round at Donington Park.
