Yorkshireman Daniel Lloyd is hoping for a repeat of his recent double podium success at Silverstone as the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship heads to Donington Park circuit for the penultimate meeting of the 2021 season (8-9 October).
Fresh from his best-ever BTCC weekend at The Home of British Motorsport just over a week ago – where he scored a pair of P2 and P3 finishes for his Adrian Flux with Power Maxed Racing team – Huddersfield-based Lloyd is hoping to carry that front-running momentum in the second to last race meeting of the year on the historic Donington Park National circuit layout.
“I’m really fired up for Donington Park. It’s a great circuit, with so much history and the racing is always exciting there.
“I’m still on a high from the great results at Silverstone. I just really hope that we can carry that momentum through to the end of the season. We’re probably going to start with the car in a similar setup to where we finished up at last time out. It certainly worked out well for us with the double podium celebrations.”
This weekend also sees the return of the ‘Top Ten Showdown’ format for Saturday’s qualifying session, where the top-ten placed drivers from Q1 go forward to vie for pole position in a shortened 5-minute shootout – the very same setup which kick-started Lloyd’s Silverstone podium-scoring results last time out.
“It’s going to be another busy weekend for us again with lots of sponsors, guests and Daniel Lloyd Racing Club members joining us. Fingers crossed, we can have a repeat performance of our last meeting and collect some more silverware!”
