GUYANESE racer Danny Persaud is hunting good results come June 21 when the second leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) takes over the Wallerfield international Raceway in Trinidad and Tobago.Speaking exclusively to Chronicle Sport, Persaud, who pilots a modified Mazda Miata, said that he is looking for positive results. “I feel ready for Trinidad. We’ve done some work on the Mazda and we think we are ready to take on the Caribbean drivers.”
At the earlier leg in Jamaica, Persaud had suffered some setbacks due to mechanical troubles but says that those have been sorted out. “This time around, we have done some more work on the car than we did in Jamaica. We had some small issues there that caused us to miss some valuable points. Nonetheless, we’ve been able to rectify those problems and are more than ready for Trinidad.”
Persaud, who makes his second journey to the Twin-Island Republic, underscored the importance of the repaving work at the Arima raceway in Trinidad.
“The resurfaced track at Wallerfield is a great thing. It now means that we can put down some faster times and have a more competitive meet. I laud the work of the Trinidad Authorities (TTASA) who have done a great job in getting the surface repaved since our visit last year”
He also indicated that faster times may be possible on the track but is looking at bringing home the bacon for Guyana, who are the defending champions.
Team Guyana loaded their cars on Tuesday with Persaud indicating that he will be running in both the Group 4 and 3 classes. In Group 4, he is joined by Kristian Jeffrey while in Group 3, he has Rameez Mohammed, Afraz Allie and Kevin Deodass.
The Group 2 team has Shyraz Roshandin, Kemal Rahaman and Ryan Rahaman. The second leg of the Seaboard Marine-sponsored Championship takes place from June 19 to 21.
