Coming from a family of motor racers, especially one that is regarded as a dynasty in the sport it came as no surprise when young Javid Rahaman was introduced as the latest member of the Rahaman line to test his skills in the sport.
Rahaman, who will be piloting a Toyota Vitz, is set to appear in the Group 1 Class where he is hoping that his first introduction to racing will be a successful one.
Speaking with Kaieteur Sport on Friday, at the team’s garage on Sandy Babb Street, Rahaman, who disclosed that he was married recently, said that should he dominate the division it will be a perfect honeymoon for him and a perfect start to his career in motor racing.
Commenting on his preparations, Rahaman revealed that because he had to convert the car which was originally a road car into one for racing, he had to strip at least 300 lbs in weight to become eligible and competitive for the division.
He added that there are no major concerns right now, informing that the machine is handling well and it is now a question of its reliability on race day.
He, however, expects it to perform reliable and is hoping that he gets the desired results.
The young motor racer who is also a graduate in Food & Restaurant Management told this newspaper that is was just a question of when he will enter racing because with some much family ties to the sport the urge became almost irresistible and it was just a matter of time.
Rahaman, whose father (Jad), brother (Ryan) along with cousins and uncle (Ray) have been involved in the sport for a number of years will have the added advantage of tapping into their vast experience for everything possible about the Circuit and by extension the sport.
So fans could look out for another exciting prospect that will be making his debut come today.
Rahaman’s entry into the sport was made possible by Two Brothers Gas Station, Gulf Motor Oil, J.R Burgers, Silhouette Restaurant, Altitude and Sushi Bar & Cocktail Lounge.
