THEY may be some of the smallest racers out there but the X30 juniors will be the definite show stealers at this weekend’s GT Motorsports Grand Prix Round 2.

Most of the youngsters in this class moved up from the Sunburst 60cc Kids’ Cup last year and stole the show at round one. Things are expected to be no different for this weekend’s round two.

Their close-quarters high intensity racing kept fans on their feet for their last round, with Nathan Rahaman, Zack Persaud and Rayden Persaud each securing a win.

Add Jeremy Ten-Pow and Paige Mendonca, who had a bad weekend during round one, as well as Faraud Mohamed and there is sure to be a dog-fight for the top spot.
The five have all definitely enjoyed the benefit of the three-round Caribbean Junior Karting Academy Trophy (CJKAT) earlier this year.

But this time around, every point will count. The winner of this year’s X30 junior will get a seat on the international scene.

The top X30 junior overall winner will get a fully sponsored drive during the 1st weekend of January at the AMR Motorplex Karting Challenge in Homestead, Florida.

When contacted, the GT Motorsport owner Vishok Persaud confirmed the announcement.
According to Persaud, the package will include kart, airfare and hotel for the competitor at the Motul-sponsored event.

After the first round, Nathan Rahaman (61 points) holds a slim lead over Zachary Persaud (60) with Rayden Persaud (50) in third.
