James Dunn, who rides for the Team Suzuki Gb Youth team, shined once again over the past weekend as he won six place overall at the MXY2 Championship that was took place at Mallory Park in Leicestershire. Dunn competed against a field 250cc 4-stroke racers on the Suzuki RM125, which happens to be a two-stroke cycle.

In the qualifying event, Dunn took third place, then got off to a good start in race one, racing well until he hit a rutted whoop area that caused him to crash. This crash caused Dunn to slip back to seventh place in the pack of racers. However, by some determined racing Dunn was able to work his way up through the pack, before a slip-up in the final lap caused him to drop back into forth place at the finish. In the second race, Dunn did not get off to such a good start, he grew weary in the last few laps causing him to cross the finish line in the ninth place, which gave Dunn sixth place overall.
Meanwhile, across the country, Dan Thornhill, another Suzuki team racer was racing in grand style as he won every race that he participated in on his Suzuki RM125 two-stroke cycle at the Mepal track in Cambridgeshire. Thornhill gave this impressive performance in the opening races of the BSMA Championship.
Thornhill started out on Saturday by taking first in his qualifying race, and then he went on to amass an impressive five wins by the time that the racing weekend ended on Sunday. Thornhill’s success over the weekend gave him a sizable lead in the series standings.
