DANIELLA SUTTON Equals Career Best with Sixth at Snetterton BRSCC Return

April 9, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

BRDC Rising Star DANIELLA SUTTON delivered a statement return to BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship at Snetterton, equaling her career-best sixth place finish after switching to experienced team Race Car Consultants. The performance was particularly impressive given her qualifying ninth was just over a second from pole – showing real off-season development that translated into a clean, consistent race where she gained three places on lap one and held position throughout.
What makes SUTTON’s return even more remarkable is the context – she’s coming back from a serious brain injury sustained at Thruxton in 2024 that required specialists’ clearance before she could race again. Her weekend showed both mental and physical resilience, particularly in race two where contact spun her to the back but she recovered from 19th to 15th despite ABS and gearbox issues, proving her racecraft has grown alongside her speed.
The consistency SUTTON showed throughout the weekend – qualifying inside the top-10, maintaining pace in traffic, and executing clean overtakes under pressure – suggests we’re seeing a driver who’s learned from her rookie campaign challenges and is ready to be a consistent frontrunner. With momentum building toward Mallory Park in May, this could be the breakthrough season where she moves from occasional points scorer to regular podium contender.
