TEAM Mohamed’s Enterprise secured its second Superstock title last weekend at the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship’s (CMRC) final leg in Guyana with rider Matt Truelove now beginning to feel the effects.

Truelove, speaking to Chronicle Sport, confirmed that the championship was something he really enjoyed throughout the year.

“Feels great to pick up another title for Team Mohamed’s Enterprise. It was a great ride this year and I hope to be back next year,” Matt, the older of the two Trueloves confirmed.
Despite their turn one incident with team mate Richard Cooper, the ride was an overall successful one for the side who remain unbeaten thus far in the CMRC championship.
Matt amassed 218 points to Guyana’s Matthew Vieira who stacked up 136 and Harry’s 98.
Meanwhile, Jamaica snagged the country championship for bikes due to neither Matt nor Harry’s points being tallied into the total.

Jamaica’s 306 points at the end of yesterday was enough to ensure that they outscored second-place finishers Guyana who only made 281 points.
Trinidad and Tobago, on the other hand, had an outlandish win for the third time in as many years, almost outscoring second-placed Barbados 2-1.

The Twin Island Republic 1 359 points was a long way from Barbados’ 723, and even though Guyana hosted the final leg, they could only finish third on 579, barely eclipsing Jamaica’s 548.

On the brighter side, for a second year running one of the oldest men racing, Andrew King, secured the Group four trophy. His battle with Mark Vieira for that championship came down to the wire and when it mattered most, the King stamped his authority.

It did not matter that Barbados’ Mark Maloney was docked 10 seconds for a false start, Andrew just needed to outscore his countryman and he did.
“Yeah, it’s been a great year. We just got the car working and we are now learning the setups. We have Trinidad and Barbados working and Guyana are at home. We have put Jamaica on the agenda for next year,” King said.

He concluded, “I want to thank the team, the Guys, Bat, Spanner, Justin and the rest of the guys that made this possible.”

King’s 142 points meant that he outscored Vieira by 12 points at the end of the day.
Elsewhere, group 5, which had no rounds in Guyana, was picked up by Barbadian Maloney and the remaining groups 3, 2 and one were snapped up by Trinidadians Ronald Wortman, Marc Gill and Aqeeb Ali respectively.
