Niko Cheng Wins Shepherd Malaysia Cup

 

On the first weekend of December, the Shepherd Malaysia Cup 2010 was held at the Niko Race Circuit close to Johor. On Saturday, heavy rain hit the track but on Sunday luckily the weather was fine. The race started at 9:30am and the traction was very low at the beginning. After three rounds of qualifying, Shepherd driver Niko Cheng claimed third position in the grid after having some small problems lapping slower drivers. The start of the final was very good and Niko was able to overtake the second placed driver immediately. He chased the leader and on the third lap, Niko was able to take the lead and pulled away. Half way down the race he extended his lead to two laps and slowed down a little bit for the rest of the race. After 45 minutes he crossed the finishing line in first position, two laps in front of KS Chua.
