James Walker heads to Assen in Holland this weekend for round
two of the Superleague Formula by Sonangol series. The Jersey
racer has put the disappointment of his difficult debut at
Silverstone far behind him and is ready to race at the front in
Assen.
James is a fast-learner and he will need to be, as he hasn't raced
at Assen before. Friday's free practice sessions will give
him plenty of opportunity to learn the track that is best known for
some epic motorcycle races. Once qualifying gets underway on
Saturday afternoon James will know the track and will be looking to
show at least as strongly as he did at Silverstone, where he made
it all the way through to the semi-finals.
"I can't wait to get back in the car as we have had a very long
break since the Silverstone races," said James. "Assen is a new
circuit to me but it's one that I have always wanted to race
at. It's a very important weekend as I need to score points
after the results at Silverstone. I know my car will be fast
so I have to get my head down and learn the circuit as quickly as I
can. I'm confident I can do a good job in qualifying and I
will be doing everything I can to make sure I have good races in
Holland."
The Superleague action isn't confined to the race track this
weekend. James will be heading into the city centre of Assen on
Friday evening to take part in a demonstration through the city
streets. Qualifying takes place on Saturday afternoon and
racing begins on Sunday at 1100hrs.
"The street demo will be a lot of fun," commented James. "My team
and I are working on doing a similar thing in Jersey this summer. A
Jersey demo would be fantastic and I hope we can get the support of
the local authorities to do it. It's a great opportunity for
people to get close to the action."
