WITH just under two weeks before the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) International race-week, the battle, according to one driver,will be among the lower groups.Paul Jiwanram, who competes in the Group One class, believes that the real nail biting action will be among those drivers in his class.
Speaking to Chronicle Sport, the Suzuki Swift driver believes that come November 13, the battles will be stiffer than the past year,stating “November 13 is going to be a very exciting meet.”
“I’m not worried about them too much, we always have something up our sleeve with the Suzuki,” he continued.
Jiwanram, who drives under the team ER Racing banner alongside Azad Hassan, Daniel Deokie and Troy Muir, stated that he is relishing the chance to drive in front on an expected capacity crowd at the South Dakota Circuit.
“It’s a lot of pressure driving in front of a capacity crowd, but the more people there to see you the more encouraged you are to race,” he said.
The group-one driver stated, “Our mechanic is good with engine so everyone is up to the game. We are going to have a fight between ourselves but Daniel Deokie just moved up to the 1600 class so it’s just Me,Azad (Hassan) and Troy (Muir).”
Speaking specifically about his machine, Jiwanram said, “We are working on the car, and we’ve started working on the (engine) head earlier this week; we were missing some parts and this weekend we will have all the engine parts and by next week, we are in full force.”
“We did some upgrades to the engine, fine tune the suspension a bit, change the shocks in front and made sure that we get some proper handling,” he concluded.
