WITH the first leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) set for this weekend in Jamaica, one rider is looking to make his name known among his rivals.

He is Raverio Tucker and he is aboard a Yamaha R6 as part of team Guyana that will invade the Jamwest Motorsport Park in Negril.

Speaking to Chronicle Sport, Tucker, who will be making his maiden tour, contended that he has been doing a lot of preplanning for one of the longest circuits in the calendar.

“Well, I’ve been looking at a lot of videos of guys who have done times around the circuit and I’ve had some overhead views of it, but it’s not the same as practice.”

“From what I’ve heard, the containers are already there, so it means when I get in tomorrow [Thursday], then we can get some much needed seat time to learn the track properly.”

“All in all, I’m not fazed by what I see; I think it is actually a fun track by the looks of it and I’m just glad to be mixing it up with the best of the racers from Jamaica and Trinidad.”

His sponsors, he noted, are Exxon Mobil, the Track, Rams logistics, El Dorado offshore, Palm Court, BM soat, Samaroo Investments, Rid-o-Pests, A&R Jiwanram Printery, ReadyMix Concrete and E-zone.
