ANOTHER North Herts rising star is hoping to follow in the tyre tracks of Lewis Hamilton.
Linton Stutely from Hitchin kicked off his Formula Ford season on Easter Monday at Oulton Park with a crowd in excess of 40,000 to see all the action.
He is part of a new team with a new engine, chassis and sponsor.
Qualifying went well with Linton in third place, and during the race containing 24 runners, he achieved a creditable sixth.
Linton said: "Now that I am racing in a competitive car at the front end of the grid, I know I have a lot to learn in terms of overtaking and outbraking drivers who have the car to race me on level terms.
"And I know, even after this first race, where improvements can be made.
