Tempus Sport was a motorsport organization from the United Kingdom, headquartered in Milton Keynes. Established in 2008, the team aimed to participate in competitions starting in 2009. Its roster featured former members of RML, including the notable team director Richard Coleman.
BTCC
During the 2009 season, Tempus Sport fielded two 2008-model Chevrolet Lacetti vehicles in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The team received support from RML, which also managed the factory Chevrolet squad competing in the World Touring Car Championship. One of the cars was driven by Harry Vaulkhard, who had experience racing a Lacetti for Robertshaw Racing in the 2008 BTCC. The second car did not have a funded driver and functioned as a backup after Vaulkhard's primary vehicle sustained damage at Croft Circuit.
Formula Renault
In addition, Tempus Sport took part in the British Formula Renault Championship during 2009, an event within the TOCA tour. The operation was overseen by former champion Neil Riddiford, with two entries: Ukrainian driver Max Dmytrenko and Croatian competitor Sasha Radola.
Team split
The team underwent a division in July 2009 when Richard Coleman established Bamboo Engineering. This new entity assumed control of Vaulkhard’s 2008-spec Lacetti along with the personnel responsible for its maintenance. Vaulkhard continued his racing career under the Bamboo Engineering banner.
