We were unfortunate in the race, but this sort of thing can happen to anyone at any time so we just have to keep working hard on every detail and hope for better next time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>MARTIN RUMP<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cEverything was going smoothly until the technical issue, but despite falling a lap down, the crew did an amazing job to get the car fixed and back out so quickly. We made the most of a difficult situation to score some points but the whole team deserves much more, so we\u2019ll hope to put it all together next time out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>JOSH BURDON<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cOverall, it was a positive weekend on the Nordschleife for us in NLS2. In mixed conditions we gathered a lot of data to continue our preparation for the N24 and the rest of the season. The team is operating well and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing our work during NLS3.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>MATT HOWSON <\/strong>TEAM MANAGER<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIt was a mixed weekend for us, with pole position and a generally strong performance once again, the three drivers did a superb job in difficult conditions throughout. The result wasn\u2019t what we wanted or deserved but we\u2019ll continue to work hard in all areas to deliver the performances that we all know are possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>PAUL IP<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>KCMG FOUNDER<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that the potential is there and that we are very quick on the Nordschleife, but the luck hasn\u2019t been with us this year. To take two poles in two events proves that we are extremely competitive, so it\u2019s a shame that the race was compromised by a technical issue. Nevertheless, it\u2019s a long season and the team managed to pick up some good points in P4, so we have to reset and look to bounce back at NLS3 later this month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11210\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole4.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/KCMG-continues-to-show-strong-potential-with-another-NLS-pole5.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information about\u00a0KCMG\u00a0please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.kcmg.com.hk\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551799538735000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEEC6r99A0sc8MF5dPRr_J0nC2Yuw\">www.kcmg.com.hk<\/a>.
