Hassan sets sight on dominating CMRC Jamaica leg
He is amongst the most dominant drivers in the Group 2B category in local racing and when Guyanese Syed Hassan takes to the track at Dover Raceway in Jamaica on May 26 to represent his country in the first leg of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship, he will racing for all Guyana.
Safeway Security’s Eon Caesar hands over the sponsorship cheque to Group 2B driver Syed Hassan recently.
Hassan, who is part of a strong local contingent named to represent Guyana at the Jamaica leg of the CMRC Series speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday via telephone, said despite the fact that he will be competing against the best drivers in the Caribbean, he is confident that he has the skill and car reliability to upsatge his rivals come race day.
Asked about the current performance of the car, Hassan told this newspaper that it performed well up to the time of departure and he is expecting even more improvements leading up to race day.
“Just before the cars were shipped I had the opportunity to do some testing and I was extremely satisfied with its performance and I’m confident that when the team arrives and we receive our respective machines and are able to do the necessary modification and improvements we will be able to go even faster,” Hassan revealed.
Hassan drives a Toyota Starlet and has been among the top performers at the local Meets over the past three years and according to him he will be using the Jamaica Meet as a precursor for the rest of the year, a period he fully anticipates to rule.
Among those expected to be his main rivals are Suriname’s Oliver Tjin-Liep-Shie, Barbados’ Kurt Thompson, Jamaica’s Sabastian Rae and our own Afraz Allie.
