Overseas based Guyanese Calvin Ming continues his triumph in North America, as he picked up a win during demonstration testing for the f1600 Team K-Hill Motor sports yesterday.The F4 and Suzuki SR-3 Radical driver started the race in position four but quickly climbed to position two at the second corner on the first lap, before taking the lead just a short while later.
Ming came under pressure from Pelfrey boys, swapping the lead several times before clipping one of their cars while going into one of the corners, sending it into the air and prompting a yellow flag.
The driver of the car escaped unhurt.Shortly before the yellow flag, the 19 year old Ming held the lead.
Upon the resumption of racing, the remaining team Pelfrey driver was able to draft Calvin and took P1, much to the cheer of the fans in attendance. He looked set to win the race, but in the dying seconds of the final lap, Calvin produced a gutsy move and was able to drive around the Pelfrey car and was able to make it stick,before defending his line for the remainder of the race.
On Friday, Ming and his team mate Neil qualified P4 and P3 respectively and concluded qualifying early as a strategic effort to conserve tyres.
