Daniel started the race really well, after 3 laps he moved up to 18^th and looked good to get into the top 10 for the first time.

With 8 laps to go Daniel was up to 16^th, but for the 2^nd time Daniel got shunted off, ending in the process all his hard work.

He however did record his fastest lap off the day which was a 54.46 secs.

A very disappointing end to the day as Daniel raced very well on the hottest day off the year.

28^th March PFI Prokart Race

Weather – Sunny and Cold (46 drivers)

Daniels first race in the 2010 championship at PFI International.

Daniel qualified 18^th and raced well in all the heats beating his best lap times in every heat.

This was the biggest number Daniel has raced against, he done well to qualify 18^th as there was no space to try and do a good lap.

Daniel finished 13^th in the final which was a very good effort.

Next race we hope to have heat positions and lap times on race report.

Weather – Sunny and Cold (7 drivers)

Heat 1 – Finished 6^th with a lap time of 50.33 secs

Heat 2 – Finished 7^th with a lap time of 50.19 secs

Heat 3 – Finished 7^th with a lap time of 49.51 secs

Final

Daniels first race at Red Lodge in the prokart lights. There was only a small number of drivers but very competitive.

It was a very difficult start to the season as all the drivers were very closely matched in all the heats.

Daniel had problems getting the tyres at a good temperature; every heat Daniel got quicker but overtaking was very difficult.

With only one lap to go Daniel was still stuck at the back but he was quicker than the 3 drivers in front off him. He did manage to get up to 5^th with his best time of the day which was 49.28 secs.

Only ½ second between 1^st to last

28^th February PFI International

Weather – Wet and Cold

Daniel raced at PFI for the first time in bad weather conditions.

Daniel only qualified in 18^th place because he had to run in new engines.

First heat he started to get used to the track and done well to finish in 10^th place.

Second heat he managed to finish 8^th. The weather started to dry out but we stuck to the same tyres and it worked, Daniel managed to finish 5^th in the third heat.

For the final Daniel started in 8^th but didn’t have much luck. He lost two places but still finished 10^th with his best of the day around 59 seconds.

This was a good test for Daniel in difficult conditions. This will give him confidence for the first championship race at the end of march.
