He dominated the Rookie category, but now has his sights set on doing the same in the Group 2A and B categories in his Toyota Levin and Honda Civic cars.
His name is Roshan Ali of Team Fullworks, a team that also includes his brother Asad, who is also a very formidable opponent that races in the same two divisions.
Team Fullworks Roshan Ali waves the chequered flag at a previous Race Meet.
Ali speaking with Kaieteur Sport ahead of today’s showdown in the Guyana Motor racing & Sports Club Race Meet at the South Dakota Circuit expressed confidence of doing well, urging fans to come out and enjoy a day of entertainment and exhilarating racing.
Ali, apart from his sibling will have to contend with the likes of Chet and Raj Singh, Shairaz Roshandin, Syed Hassan, Afraz Allie, John Joseph, Oliver Tjin-Liep-Shie among others and while a lot of focus is customarily placed on the Group 4 and Superbikers, these two categories have steadily grown in stature and has become a keenly contested showpiece in local motor racing.
The local speedster agreed that his elevation to the higher categories would have presented him with a lot of challenges, but he told this newspaper that it is a feature of the sport that he is willing to confront since he has confidence in his own ability and the quickness and reliability of the cars.
“I know that moving up would not be easy, but we as a team is eager and willing to put our skills to the test against the opposition and we believe that come today wel will come out victorious,” Ali said.
Some twenty seven races are cared for the day and fans could expect a full day of excitement.
