Shewjattan teams up with Stag Beer for CMRC
– Thanks sponsors for sticking with him
After a somewhat on and off stretch, Group 4 racer Rupie Shewjattan, speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday during the confirmation of sponsorship from Stag Beer, exuded confidence of doing well ahead of tomorrow’s staging of the final leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship, at the South Dakota Circuit.

Yesterday during a simple presentation ceremony, Stag Beer Manager John Maikoo presented the cheque to Shewjattan at Auto Fashion on Campbell Avenue, Campbellville.
Shewjattan, who drives a Mitsubishi Evolution 5 car, was upbeat about his chances of upstaging his rivals in the category informing that the machine is well prepared and he feels positive about his ability to top the group come tomorrow.
“The car is performing well and I can assure you that we are quite satisfied with its performance after testing on Thursday,” Shewjattan told this newspaper.
The experienced racer who graduated from the Group 2B a few years ago, has not had the desired results since, but that was due mainly to the inconsistent reliability of the car, but sounded more upbeat about its consistency this time around, adding that the Team has done more work to ensure maximum performance.
“The Team consists of a lead mechanic from Jamaica and he has been in the country since Wednesday overlooking preparations and he seems quite satisfied with the progress to date and we are going to be guided by his prognosis,” Shewjattan stated.
He thanked the following sponsors for their trust and faith in him and they include Stag Beer, Auto Fashion, Buddy’s Housing, Palm Court, Agri Parts Machinery and Services, Autocolor, Prem’s Electrical and Allied Manufacturing Industry (AMI) out of the USA.
Shewjattan said he was extremely grateful to them since they’ve continually exhibited confidence in him and is in it for another year.
He reminded his fans that he will be competing against the best in the Caribbean, but he is up to the task to do well against them.
