CALVIN Ming continued his dominance this weekend in Mexico, producing three podium finishes and extending his lead in the FIA NACAM F4 Champioships.After the fire last weekend, Ming’s RAM racing car was stripped, rebuilt and tested during Friday’s practice before Saturday qualifying where he put down a time of 48.702 time, pipping his competitor Moises de La Vara, who was .160 of a second off the pace
He returned later in the afternoon to race from flag to flag, finishing 3.2 seconds ahead of the second-placed team RPL motorsport duo of Jose Sierra and Luis Alfonso Perez respectively, producing consistent drives throughout.
The race which lasted for just over 25 was run for 30 laps over the 1.8 kms course which features 13 turns, and mins.
Race two had its own hiccups with fifth-placed starter Sierra finishing first with Ming, who started sixth finishing second and Santiago Lozano third.
The race started in damp conditions with the cars utilising the ‘slick’ tyres and before midway through, most of the pack including the then front runners were forced to the pit as the rains came down.
However Sierra and Ming opted to continue on the slicks and were rewarded with podium finishes.
De La Vara took Race three ahead of Ming, with Alfonso Alvarez finishing third.
Ming told Chronicle Sport, “another good weekend for me and team RAM racing in Mexico.
One first and two second-place finishes only extends my run in the championship and I’m glad. Special thanks to my team who set up the car this weekend.”
