Group One motor racer Azaad Hassan obliterated all challengers at the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club National Race of Champions winning all six races on Sunday at the South Dakota Circuit.
Hassan’s performance was the highlight to a rather gloomy day at the track due to the inclement weather.
He had the fastest lap time of 42.015s in the Street Tuner (1500cc) and 45.439s in the Sport Tuner (1600cc) with his dependable neon green Toyota AE91.
Hassan credited his sublime performance to his eagerness to race in the rain given the teachings from his mentor and renowned Trinidadian driver Tanko Baboolall.

“I love driving in the rain; it gives you a lot of experience. If you can get three victories in the rain it will be a big confidence booster”, the driver stated.
His machine withstood the pressures that prevailed on track quite unlike the others and according to Hassan, his team is to applauded.
According to the `Team ER’ driver the team has built a new engine with hopes of competing at the second leg of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) slated for July 30 at the Frankie Boodram Wallerfield International Raceway in Trinidad and Tobago.
However additional sponsorship would be needed. At present Hassan is sponsored by GUYOIL, Buddys Entertainment Complex, Toucan Industries, Marvex Bleach, Twins Manufacturing, Leon Dorado Int’l Hotel and is prepared by Emran & Raymond Automotive Services.
