from the latest rounds of the Ginetta Junior Championship at Silverstone.The Scammonden-based 16-year-old had hoped to bounce back from the disappointment of being taken out of the previous race 24 hours earlier – an incident which later resulted in a penalty for instigator Dominic Pettit – and he achieved a good getaway.But by the end of the first lap, after a spin at Luffield on the wet track, he recovered and began to chase the cars in front.By lap three, the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) Stars of Tomorrow Scholarship winner had climbed back to 13th place and had moved to 10th before the Safety Car was deployed.Then, with just one racing lap possible in the allotted time, competitors set off for one more tour of the 1.64-mile track but officials declared the result as per the race order at the end of lap nine, after 15 minutes of action.“It’s been a very disappointing event but that’s the way it happens sometimes, we expected more and it’s frustrating as I had the pace to at least take a couple of podiums which would have been great,” said Daniel.“We’ve got to look forward to Mallory Park now this weekend where we’ll hopefully get our championship moving in the right direction again.” http://www.examiner.co.uk/sport-news/motorsport-news/2008/09/03/win-british-superbike-passes-with-tunstall-s-ice-valley-honda-team-86081-21664706/ Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:00:00 GMT
