CMRC Champion Kristian Jeffrey coming for ‘Race of Champions’ Meet
Motor racing fans that missed the chance to see the Caribbean’s
best driver perform at last year’s season ending Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) will have the opportunity to witness young superstar Kristian Jeffrey in action next Sunday.
Jeffrey, who totally destroyed his opponents in the CMRC, last year, will be coming in from Canada this week to race in the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club National ‘Race of Champions’ Meet, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Currently the most dominant racer in the region, Jeffrey, who drives a Mitsubishi Evolution VIII sponsored by Fly Jamaica and Stag Beer, will be aiming for a spot on the Guyana team to travel to Jamaica for the opening leg of the CMRC so there is every motivation for him to produce a typical scorching performance for the fans.
The young daredevil has become the talk within the Caribbean after obliterating the regional records and dominating strong fields in two short years during which time he has won back to back titles as well as the youngest champion.
Jeffrey’s rise to the top of regional motor racing, though it has been quick, came as no surprise to many who’ve followed his career in the sport.
He was once the karting champion and his adroitness as a racer was honed through many years of karting and shared experienced from his father Kevin, also a top driver in the CMRC.
The youthful racer is a born and bred sportman, having represented Guyana in Squash as well and was among the best locally and regionally so his fitness level and dexterity would have been enhanced by his participation in that too.
One characteristic about his driving is that he is an exciting racer and fun to watch and leaves everything on the track.
Meanwhile, his father Kevin told this newspaper that he is racing against the clock to finish work on his machine, but assured that the team is working hard to get him on the starting grid.
