― Shan Seejatan racing towards championship honours
Group driver two driver Shan Seejatan has set his eyes on being Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) Champion when the final leg gets underway at the South Dakota Circuit on November 13.
Though Seejatan is in sixth position with 66 points. The table is led by Trinidadian Luke Bhola on 123 points but the Guyana racer is confident he can be crowned the champion once his car works well and he receives ample support from his fellow countryman.

“It’s, game on, this is the home turf, once everything goes well with the car we will be looking to give them a good challenge as I did last year and hopefully bring home three victories since I can be crowned the Caribbean champion for group 2”, the driver stated.
He added, “The Trinidadians are above me with points but I’m hoping team Guyana can push them back and I get some support from the home boys since I’m aiming for the championship.”
The feat is not impossible by any means for the driver since last year he dominated the day where he was crowned the Champion driver for the day coming from behind after dusting his opponents in his three races.
Seejattan explained that his Honda Civic EG has so far being working well and he is just looking for reliability and try to win all three races” since he rebuilt the engine changed the breaks and tinkered with the suspension.
Quizzed on what his fans can expect he revealed that “I wouldn’t say I’m the best but once my car holds up I’m going to give them a good fight and the fans a good show and they should expect the best since I really want to bring it home for Guyana.”
Competing in his third CMRC, Seejattan is grateful for the support of Special Auto, Top Power Racing, Blue Waters and Full Works along with is tuner Rajiv Ramraj.
