FHO RACING WITHDRAWS FROM NORTH WEST 200

FHO RACING WITHDRAWS FROM NORTH WEST 200

IN the opening Superbike race at the International North West 200 road races, FHO Racing’s Peter Hickman set a stunning new outright lap record of 124.799mph around the 8.9-mile circuit as he charged through the field from 18th to sixth.

 

However, a tyre issue forced him to retire on the fifth of six laps and the team has subsequently made the decision to withdraw from the remainder of the event on safety grounds.

 

It’s a huge disappointment to all concerned and the team would like to apologise to the event organisers and thousands of race fans but rider safety comes first at all times and we look forward to returning  to the North West 200 in 2023.
