Hide AdHe lined up eighth on the grid for race two, his finishing position from race one. Again he got a good start with 28 laps ahead of him to make an impression on the cars in front.
He fought hard during the race but could only manage to cross the line from where he had started - eighth.
Race three saw him start from eighth again, but disaster brought the youngster’s weekend to an end as on lap two, exiting Paddock Hill bend, he encountered a technical problem with the car and had to retire and a very disappointed Denis pulled the car up on the grass just before Druids.
Denis finished his first season in the Ginetta G50 Championship 14th in the championship table on 191 points.
He is looking forward to the 2011 season and hoping to improve on his final standings of this year.
