Youngster Harry King showed impressive speed on track as he made his debut in the highly competitive Simpson Race Products Ginetta Junior Championship at Brands Hatch.The 15-year-old from Holyport in Berkshire headed into the first round of the season looking to build on the results he enjoyed in the 2015 Ginetta Junior Winter Series; where three class wins in four races saw him secure the Rookie Cup.Racing alongside he hugely popular British Touring Car Championship for the first time, Harry qualified little more than a second away from pole position for the first race of the season.Embroiled in what would prove to be a eight-way fight for the final places inside the top ten in the opening 15 lap encounter, Harry crossed the line in 16th place – albeit only two seconds away from what would have been a debut top ten finish.Starting from the same position for race two, an astonishing start saw Harry vault up the order to lie eight before half a lap of the short 1.2 mile Indy circuit was complete, although his hard work was undone when a tag to the rear of his car going into the final corner saw him spin out of contention.Rather than letting his head drop as he rejoined the race at the rear of the field, Harry knuckled down and would lap quickly and consistently right through the chequered flag – matching the top six through the closing stages as he fought his way back to 14th place.The Elite Motorsport driver comes away from the weekend sitting 13th in the championship standings.“My overall pace compared to the other drivers was really encouraging and that is the big positive for me to take away from the weekend,” he said. “Qualifying and the first race were quite challenging but the team worked really hard overnight to make some changes to the car that meant I felt more comfortable behind the wheel in race two.“I got a fantastic start when the lights went out and had managed to get into the top ten by about half way round the lap. Unfortunately, someone else then tipped me into a spin that meant I dropped to the back of the field but I didn’t let my head drop and chased down some of the cars ahead.“Although I wanted to score more points, I’ve learned a lot this weekend and I think that when I go to Donington Park in a few weeks, I’ll be in a much stronger position to fight higher up the order.”
