RACING action in the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship gets going in just under four days in Barbados and debutant driver Nazim Gafoor has considered this leg to be an experience gaining occurrenceGafoor, who drives a Mazda Miata, built and tuned for the Group 2 division says that while it may be his first time out, he is still looking to make an impression.
“Well it’s my first time outside of Guyana (South Dakota) but I’m still very confident in my abilities as a driver. Many may think that I am young and inexperienced but I think my youth is an advantage; my reflexes are in tip-top shape,” said Gafoor.
Gafoor, a newcomer to circuit racing recently has been involved in drag racing as well, indicating to Chronicle Sport that he is trying to be as competent as possible.
“What I am hoping to do at this meeting is to gain some more experience and basically see what some of the other styles the Caribbean drivers have. My main goal is to be competitive, come November (4th leg of CMRC in Guyana) so that I can really put up a fight on my home turf..
Gafoor is the only Group 2 representative in the 11-member team which also includes Danny Persaud, Mark Vieira and the father-son duo of Kevin and Kristian Jeffrey.
In the two-wheel category, Stephen Vieira will lead his cousins Matthew and Elliot along with Joel Neblett and Kevin Persaud.
