… promises to entertain at South Dakota

ON NOVEMBER 16, the Caribbean’s top drivers and riders are expected to turn the South Dakota Circuit into a battle ground as Guyana play hosts to the final leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) and one driver is already signalling his intention to make a clean sweep.

Meet Kristian Jeffrey: At 25 years old, he sits atop the points standing with 85 points after two runs (Barbados and Trinidad) and the former Go-Kart Champion, who is on debut in the championship said that the experiences of previous legs will play a vital part in how he approaches the final leg in Guyana next month.
“It feels so nice to race at home. It’s been years since I have competed in Guyana and can’t wait to put on a good show in front of our home crowd. I’ve raced in North America and the level of racing is high but the support from our local fans is what makes the sport in the Caribbean so special. I’ve missed this atmosphere and hopefully team Guyana comes out on top,” said Jeffrey.
Kristian’s father Kevin will also be competing on November 16 and the younger Jeffrey said, “Indeed both cars are out of the same camp and are similar. However, every driver has a different driving style so even though they may be similar cars, the set up may be a tad different. I believe my dad has a lot of experience in racing; South Dakota has been the track he spent the most time racing and preparing. It will be a big challenge as he is going to be one of the quickest guys on this track. It’s hard to say who will be the better driver, as we are both capable of rising to the occasion. Every dog has its day, so let’s just see who comes out on top on race day.”
The Group 3 cars are usually the crowd-pleaser and the likes of Mark Vieira, his brother Paul, the veteran Andrew King and Danny Persaud have all signalled their intentions to compete; not to mention David Summerbell of Jamaica and Stuart Maloney of Barbados.
One thing is certain, the CMRC final leg is one that all racing-lovers will certainly not want to miss this year.
