Huddersfield's Daniel Lloyd has moved into the Ginetta Junior Championship top three after securing two strong results at Thruxton.

Driving British Racing Drivers' Club Stars of Tomorrow scholarship car, the rookie 16-year-old recorded a 6th and 4th place finish over the weekend.

"You've got to look at the bigger picture, being third in the championship is good news," said Lloyd.

The Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire will host the next round on 31 May.

Lloyd is competing in the competition with the likes of Josh Hill, the son of 1996 Formula One World Champion Damon Hill, and Fergus Walkinshaw, the son of former Arrows boss Tom.

Lloyd added: "I didn't have a great start and for the first two or three laps I was battling with Fergus which allowed the top three to break away from us.

"When I finally pulled out a gap, it was too late to do anything about trying to get on the podium.

"The best thing to come out of the weekend is that we've moved ahead of Josh Hill in the championship.

"If it wasn't for that then I would have been a bit disappointed as I would have liked to have been on the podium this weekend."
