Youth 4 Human Rights Racing Team race at Thurxton - 22 October 2007

NIKI Lanik and the Youth 4 Human Rights Racing Team, supporting the worthy cause of Human Rights, raced at Thruxton last weekend qualifying 8th and 4th for the final 2 rounds of the 2007 Clio Cup Championship. Saturday’s race was ended due to a crash involving Niki Lanik and four other top drivers – they all walked away un-hurt but shocked. The weekend was action packed with LIVE Sky coverage, ITV Sport shooting teams, and 25,000+ motorsport enthusiasts, all accompanied by perfect weather.

Thruxton, the Hampshire-based racing circuit, is famous for being the fastest circuit in Britain. Niki Lanik’s Clio race car averages 100mph per lap, reaching a mere 140mph on the long straight. The Austrian race driver, Lanik, was looking very good in the 30-minute qualifying session, setting two good laps earning him 8th and 4th on the grid out of well over 30 keen racing drivers.
