IN THE Group two thoroughfare the slightest of mistakes can mean the difference between a first- and fifth-place finish, and competitor Shan Seejatan is cognizant of this.
He is especially aware of the upcoming second round of the National Race of Champions which is less than two weeks away.
Speaking to Chronicle Sport, the Honda Civic driver contended that his edge over the competition would be the support and determination of his team to achieving perfection of his machine.
“My team and I are really determined. The guys have been putting in the work and that I think is what will separate me from the competition come race day, the fact that my team and I are extreme,” said Seejatan
He noted that there were difficulties in Round 1, saying, “We had broken engine last race meet and had to borrow a stock engine to race with so we are in process of rebuilding our old engine so we can get to race.”
“Currently, we are working on the said engine among other fine-tuning details and hopefully we can be ready by Monday and do some testing should all go well,” he added.
He has, however, indicated that come race day, he will be on track by hook or crook.
Competition-wise, he pointed out that the group has a number of machines with drivers who are capable of producing the goods needed for race day.
He added, there are guys like Rameez (Mohamed) and Chet (Singh) who have incredible machines in their corners and I heard that Shairaz (Roshandin) is going to be there so it’s going to be an exciting day of racing.”
