Technical problems cancel Most


With the next round of the Polish International Endurance Championship looming at the Most circuit (CZ), the KB racing was hit by a parts shortage which has cost Niko a chance to fight for the championship.

KB Racing's Honda Civic was suffering with a broken transmission and the parts have not landed from Honda Racing HQ in England early enough for the team to compete this weekend.

"I got wind of these problems a day before I was going to fly to the Czech Republic which was lucky. The team has done their upmost to get the parts from the UK but it just has not come quick enough and with a three hour race looming the sensible decision was to withdraw the entry which is disapointing for all involved"

Not going to Most means Niko's championship charge to the championship title is going to be heavily dented and due to no dropped rounds in the championship it is going to be hard to claw back the disadvantage from this weekend.

"I am going to have to re-think about this season now this problem has occured" Niko commented. "Of course I can continue with the championship though its going to be hard work to gain those points back but on the other hand I have some other oppounities open to me in which I can move my carrer aspriations forward into GT racing!"

With this now in mind Niko could step up earlier than expected to a higher class of racing... watch this space.....
