Fresh from a successful run at the 24 Hour Karting Race in Thailand, reigning Endurance Challenge champions NIVEA FOR MEN crossed the checkered flag first at the Dubai Autodrome for top honours in the first round of the 2008 NIVEA FOR MEN Endurance Challenge. Team manager Mike Wilkes lauded his team members including Ken Waterhouse, Sheikh Hasher Al Maktoum, Maurits Knopjes, Guy Sheffield and Sean Murphy for a spectacular race, and a thrilling run which he hopes the team will sustain in the next round in May and in the championship round come October.
