Ned Daniel to ride at Asia Dream Cup

Ned Daniel, one of Sri Lanka's foremost and aggressive young riders, will be competing in the third leg of the Asia Dream Cup Racing Championship 2013 which will be held at Madras Motor Race Track at Irungattukottai, some 40 Kilometres off Chennai on July 14.

Ned has already succeeded in posing a threat to other riders during the first and second rounds held at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia and Sentul Circuit in Indonesia earlier this year. This year's Asia Dream Cup features three race classes - the developmental underbone 115cc class, the mid-level Asia Dream Cup category - 250cc, and the premiere SuperSports 600cc class.

Young Ned Daniel competes on his CBR 250cc RR2013 in the 250cc Mono Cylinder event, the mid-level Asia Dream Cup category. The qualifying round will be held at the Madras Race Track, which has been specially renovated to host the event, on July 13.

The 10-round series will see top class riders in action from Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Chinese Taipei, Philippines and India. The fifth and sixth rounds will take place in Japan, followed by the sixth and last round in Qatar. The rider who tops the points table at the end of six rounds, will qualify to represent a world renowned racing team at the next Moto GP-3 season.

Ned has recorded a number of victories in his appearances at Pannala and Katukurunda Circuit meets in Sri Lanka. For his local events, he is sponsored by Dynamic Motors PVT LTD., agents for MOTUL Lubricants in Sri Lanka while he gets the support of Ministry of Sports to compete in the Asia Dream Cup Racing Championship 2013.
