Tamiya Supports Rising Star

British F2 Driver Dean Stoneman carried a familiar logo on his race car at the latest round of the FIA Formula Two championship round at Brno last weekend.

The Rising star who is currently standing second in the feeder series to F1, ran with the famous two star logo of Tamiya on the nose and the side of the airbox of his Williams JPH1B in an arrangement which is hoped to run until the end of the 2010 season.

Stoneman 19 from Southampton set the pace all weekend in the Czech Republic, posting pole position times for both Saturday and Sundays race as he closed in on the Championship title race. This was particularly impressive as unlike his main rivals, Stoneman had not raced or even tested at the demanding Brno Circuit prior to last weekend.

The results now leaves him just four points behind Palmer, with the pair holding a ninety five point lead over the third placed driver Enge. See more race info at www.formula-two.com
