The ever popular
Danny Buchan, twice winner of the Sunflower Trophy, is relishing a return to
the County Down circuit, with view to reclaiming the Trophy he has previously
won.
Buchan has competed
at the Sunflower in recent years on Superstock machinery, but for this year’s
event, Buchan will compete on the FS-3 Racing Kawasaki Superbike. Annoyed at
missing out in the BSB Showdown, the Basildon rider is aiming to end his season
on a high.
Two podium finishes
at Knockhill prove that his and the team are competitive, as he was in the
running for the showdown, until a practice spill at Oulton Park put him out of
that meeting, and valuable points were lost. Heading to the final round
this weekend at Brands Hatch, Buchan is currently lying in 10th place.
Buchan fired the
warning shots in the opening Superbike race at the Sunflower Trophy race
meeting last year when he beat pre-race favourites, Glenn Irwin and Michael Laverty.
In the Feature race, he had to settle for fourth spot, just losing out to Carl
Philips. If he can take the covert win this year, he will get to keep the
Trophy, first given to Scot Brian Morrisson, when he won the event three times.
