Driver News - Daniel Cammish

Driver news from Daniel Cammish 15/10/2009: Daniel Cammish would like to thank the Kevin Mills Racing team for all their hard work through out his rookie car racing season. After an excellent start consisting of 1 pole, 3 podiums and 13 consecutive top 6 finishes, Daniel finished the year 6th in the overall standings and Scholarship Champion. Daniel won 17 out of the 23 races he contested in the Scholarship class to comfortably seal the title even with having to miss the double header on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit.

"It has been a fantastic first season of car racing for me and i must say a big thank you to all of the Kevin Mills team for their hard work especially for my engineer Brian Soule. They have given me a good car all season and one which I have been able to run consistently at the sharp end of the championship."

Daniel narrowly missed out on 5th overall in the championship to Kevin Mills team mate Daniel Erickson but knew this was a possibility late in the season with dove tailing some ADAC rounds with Formula Ford.

Daniel says "We were approached by Austrian team Neuhauser Racing who offered me the chance to race ADAC Formel Master in Germany for the final 3 meetings of the championship. The deal was too good to refuse and gave me a chance to experience slicks and wings racing for the first time. Unfortunately it meant i had to miss the Brands Hatch Grand Prix round of the Formula Ford championship but in doing so i have raised my profile in Germany considerably and have a number of opportunities for 2010 that were previously unknown. At the end of the day people will not remember 5th or 6th in the Championship when my only aim was to gain experience in 2009 and to progress my career into 2010, so I have no regrets as I have gained a lot of experience from my racing in Europe."

Daniel now looks forward to his final race of the season at Oschersleben near Berlin in Germany for round 8 of the Formel ADAC championship. After taking 5th position and fastest lap in his latest race at the Sachsenring Daniel is confident of a good result, "This will be my 3rd outing for the team and with little or no testing time before the race weekends it has taken me until now to really get on top of the car. Last time out I had a great result and if only I had more laps before qualifying I’m sure I could have raced even further to the front. Luckily there will be a Thursday test at Oschersleben so I won’t be going into qualifying as blind this time so I’m hoping for a good result"

As soon as Daniel returns from Germany he will be taking a well earned holiday before starting testing for 2010.
