CMRC 2014 Round 2 – Wallerfield
As the region starts preparations for round three of the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship at South Dakota in Guyana on November 15/16, we can finally bring you our report of the Return to Wallerfield. Apologies for the delay, guys, but it has taken a while to sort through all the images – there were rather a lot, as you’d expect after the first race meet for so many years – while some minor changes to the CMRC points system have also meant cross-checking results to ensure complete accuracy.

T&T’s Golden Jubilee book features Motorsport, names icons
Marking Trinidad & Tobago’s 50th Anniversary of our Independence, the Golden Jubilee Edition of “Trinidad & Tobago – Terrific and Tranquil” publication includes features of T&T as diverse as our many cultures.

This two page feature included photos of recent rally, karting and drag racing events as well as circuit racing in its heyday at Wallerfield in the 80’s. The major accomplishment for local motorsport in this publication however, is the recognition of Sheldon Bissessar in the list of “50 Exemplars and Icons of T&T”, a list populated by great icons such as Pat Bishop, Rudranath Capildeo and Brian Lara.
