In snowy conditions, Guyana’s Calvin Ming produced yet another stellar performance on the race track as he stormed to first place at the F1600 race at Watkins Glen, United States on Sunday.
Ming, who was part of Team Pelfrey Mygale, led the final two laps of the event to cop the chequered flag ahead of Neil Verhagen and Phillippe Denes.

The young driver started the final race in the fourth position on the grid but due to an incident on the first lap was spun around and relegated him to the second to last position. However, he still kept focused and was able to finish in P3, while posting the fastest lap of the race and the weekend
Ming in speaking of his accomplishments said “I was just trying to keep my head down, keep my marks, and minimize my mistakes,”
He added, “In the end it worked out. It was definitely a good battle. I would like to thank Team Pelfrey on a great car this weekend.”
Ming and his Team Pelfrey team mate, Phillippe Denes, worked together to open a gap back to Steve Bamford and Verhagen, who ran third and fourth, respectively, in the opening laps.
That lead was brought down to zero, however, when the safety car was deployed for a full-course caution for an incident involving Mike Scanlan, Dan Pyanowski and Ryan Bjerke
