The second round of races for the 2016/2017 FIA sanctioned NACAM Mexican championship series was held near the picturesque city of PUEBLA, December 4-5, in fine weather.
Calvin Ming
Guyanese Calvin Ming qualified in P2, and unfortunately, after the start of the opening race, the car developed a problem with its handling while exiting the corners which relegated him to a P3 finish.
Some adjustments were done prior to the second race which saw him starting in P4, due to the reverse grid formula to make the racing more competitive, however, time around the car started to lose power and he managed to finish the race in P3 again.
An irregularity was subsequently found in the computer controlled engine management system, shortly before the start of race number three which he started in P2. After a closely fought battle from the start to finish of the race, he finished in P2 just behind winner Giancarlo Vecchi, with Luis Alfonso Perez in P3.
All things considered, Calvin had a good weekend, and he continues to lead the championship after the first round in Mexico City at the Formula 1 race last October.
The next round is scheduled to be held in Cancun, at the end of January 2017.
Calvin is a member of the Ram Racing Team which is owned and operated by the retired Mexican Air Force General, Jose Ramos and his son Jose Ramos Jr. and supports a team of three drives.
