PRESS - Quote from Motoring & Leisure - October 2007
“Niki Lanik talked exclusively to Sean McGreevy about his racing career, his work with Human Rights and extreme sports.”
“Niki Lanik was born in Vienna, Austria in 1987 but now resides in Sussex. He races in the ELF Renault Clio Cup Championship for the Youth 4 Human Rights with Stancombe Vehicle Engineering Team and is the 2006 ELF Clio Winter Cup Champion. ”
“Niki chose the ELF Renault Clio Cup Championship because it is seen as a key stepping-stone to touring car and GT racing, with star graduates including British GT Champion Adnrew Kirkaldy, British Touring Car Championship star Jason Plato, and twice World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx.”
“Youth For Human Rights International promotes and works with the race team and Niki explained the background: ‘Their aim is to make people around the world aware of their 30 Human Rights and the organisation has put together an online video and campaign which has proved to be a great opportunity to raise the profile of the cause with all age groups. At the recent Renault World Series race meeting at Donington we showed the 30 Rights, 30 Ads Human Rights DVDs and handed out ‘Know your Human Rights’ booklets.’”
“Motor racing is a very physical sport so away from the race track Niki keeps fit by being an avid extreme sports fan: ‘In the winter I like to go to Austria or Switzerland and go snowboarding and in the UK I like to go mountain biking. I am not a person who goes to the gym every day but I enjoy any activity to do with speed or risking your life!’”
