FOUR-time Caribbean Champion Kristian Jeffrey is in Barbados for the first round of the Radical Caribbean Cup event.
The Guyanese will compete against several other revered motorsport names in the region including the up-and-coming Jamaican Senna Summerbell, son of former Caribbean Champion David Summerbell Jr.

Speaking exclusively to Chronicle Sport yesterday evening, the Guyanese contended, “Today (yesterday) we had our first open practice and getting the car dialled in. This is the car that I was racing the radical series with in England so it’s the first time driving it in the Caribbean and everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.”

“We have about eight or nine drivers on the grid. Some haven’t practised today but the conditions today were tricky. There was rain then sun then rain again and sun again and the track is still green. Everyone is still trying to get their setup and by tomorrow (today) we know exactly where everyone is but so far so good.”

Following yesterdays open test, Jeffrey clocked a 59.111 seconds to head the field with Summerbell two-tenths off the pace of the Guyanese with a 59.307 as this fastest time.
Barbadian Mark Maloney was two-thousands’ of a second behind the Jamaican, with a 59.309, with Trinidad’s Kristian Boodoosingh (59.388) fourth ahead of Barbadians and 2018 winner Stuart Maloney (59.435), Justin Campbell (1:00.743) and Justin Maloney (1:01.983).

Rounds two and three will take place in Barbados at the Bushy Park Raceway with round four expected to be held in Guyana later in the year.
