Formula Asia delays race

JAKARTA (JP): Organizers of the national Formula Asia auto
racing championship postponed yesterday the competition for seven
days, until next week, after three cars failed to enter the
country on time.

"The cars have yet to arrive here after taking part in the
Formula Asia race in Zhuhai, China, on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3," said
chief of the committee, Rio Sarwono, adding that the cars would
come in by Tuesday.

National championship leader Ananda Mikola said that the delay
would not distract him in his bid to maintain his top position.
"No problems. I have more time to prepare," said 15-year-old
Ananda, dubbed Indonesia's future Formula One driver. (amd)
