POPULAR Lubricant brand Valvoline has continued its backing of Nathan Rahaman for the upcoming GT- Motorsports Grand Prix.

At a presentation earlier this week, Rahaman received sponsorship from the brand’s local supplier, Sankar’s Auto Works.

Rahamans said, “(I am) very appreciative. Valvoline has been a sponsor for three generations in the family and I am happy to be driving with their name alongside,” he stated.

E-Networks, Altitude Bar and Grill, and Atlantic Marine Supplies are his other sponsors.
Meanwhile the Guyanese, who enters the 125cc X30 junior class for the first time locally this season, has set his benchmark as the touring Jamaican Tommi Gore.

The two are no strangers to each other having participated in the inaugural Caribbean Junior Karting Academy Trophy JCKAT earlier this year in Barbados.

But this will be their first encounter on Guyanese soil.
“I know he (Gore) has driven (here) before, but we are going to beat him. This is home turf and we have been practising a lot and I think we could overthrow him here,” 125cc competitor Nathan Rahaman boasted on Wednesday.

Nathan will be joined by Jeremy Ten-Pow, Rayden Persaud, Paige Mendonca and Zachary Persaud.

The other categories at the Grand Prix will be the 60cc Kids Cup, 60cc Baby Cup, 125cc Seniors and Masters, and Easy Cup

Jamaican Colin Daley Jr and Zachary Boodram from Trinidad and Tobago will also compete.
