THE Group 3 category of the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) is heating up with driver Rameez Mohammed already setting his eyes on a podium spot. Speaking to Chronicle Sport, Mohammed said that following the unfortunate Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) Trinidad leg, where he had mechanical troubles, he has been forced to return to his ever-trusty Ep-82 Starlet.
“What happened with the Levin, we got it back late, so we didn’t really know exactly what was the problem until we got it back. We didn’t know what was damaged on the car. Now we know and I have placed the order (for new parts). I don’t think the parts are going to arrive in time for this race meeting so I will be racing the Starlet.”
Nonetheless he noted that the car is ready and raring to go with final testing to be done soon. “Everything is finished; we are going to do final testing later today. I am looking to podium on this occasion.”
Mohammed since joining the Group 3 scene has been at the back of his group-mates’ mind as a competitor that gives it his all. He is sponsored by B.M Soat Auto Sales, Prem’s Electrical and Truck Masters and is also a top contender in the Regional Championship. However, after his mishap in Trinidad he has slipped to sixth in the Group 3 championships, with 2 legs to go.
The National Race of Champions, set for South Dakota Circuit will be sponsored by South Land International through the Carlsberg brand, the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T), Fly Jamaica, Rent-a-Tent and Ganesh Parts. (Stephan Sookram)
