GUYANESE racer Calvin Stanley Ming is currently preparing to compete in the Formula 4 NACAM (North American Central American Motor-racing) Championship’s inaugural race as a precursor to the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Mexico.
An email from NACAM said after a long negotiation between Formula One management and the organising committee of the Formula One Grand Prix in Mexico the official announcement was made of the championship being the support race of the Mexican Grand Prix from October 30 to 31 and November 1.
Ming, the son of well-known Guyanese businessman Stanley Ming, started racing in the shifter kart division in Guyana and is currently attending the Florida International University pursuing his Engineering degree.
In July of this year, the junior Ming did some testing in a F4 car belonging to Team Pelfrey, a top team in the United States and after evaluation had been invited to drive for the team.
He also attended the Skip Barber Racing School Programme where he emerged top out of 21 students and is currently involved in extensive testing sessions of his two Mygale F4 cars at various venues across the U.S.
Calvin is under the watchful eyes of his personal coach, team directors, mechanics, and engineers, as he prepares for the Championship event.
