David Sutton - BARC Renault

David Sutton from Team AVAGO, who is being strongly supported this year by Hayden-Media, had an eventful outing at Oulton Park.

The Cheshire track was the venue for the opening round of the BARC Formula Renault Championship, where David had to overcome a serious front brake problem and worn out tyres. To fight his way forward from a lower than expected qualifying result due to locking brakes though, was a commendable achievement for the teenage karting graduate.

We met up with David this week to find that a full strip and re-build of the car after Oulton Park, had revealed a number of maintenance issues that needed to be adressed, which had not been evident after the Team AVAGO outfit had bought the car. With these problems corrected, and with his first single-seater race start under his belt, it means that David approaches the next two rounds at Snetterton in Norfolk, in a much stronger and more confident frame of mind.
