Group Two is anybody’s game

WITH less than two weeks remaining before the first National Race of Champions 2018 gets underway, racers are priming for action in one of the largest groups.
The Group Two, arguably one of the most subscribed classes on the race-day grid, is sure to be a firecracker.
Evolving over the years, the class has now become a hunting ground for Honda Civics, primarily the hatchback versions, which take up more than 75% of the grid.

The defending champion is Chet Singh but by no means is it a one-horse race.
There are the likes of Shan Seejattan, Rameez Mohamed, Nazrudeen Mohamed, Haniff Mohamed and Shairaz Roshandin and others who are going to try to ensure that they have championship shots.
And it’s going to be a close fight, considering that many of those above-listed competitors have just about the same power, which means that winning is going to come down to driver-ability.
Still, maximum points in round one could mean the ultimate factor in ensuring a solid title hunt and all the competitors in the class must be aware of this.

Also, the round will serve as a testing ground for those attending the first leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship 2018 in Jamaica which is just over eight weeks away.
The first National Race of Champions, sponsored by STAG, Mohamed’s Enterprise and Tropical Shipping, is set for March 24 and 25 at the South Dakota Circuit.
