The big guns of Caribbean Motor Racing are set to face off against each other in what is expected to be the Biggest International Clash ever witnessed at the South Dakota Circuit in Guyana. Teams from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Suriname, the USA, Canada and host country Guyana have already stated that they will be here in Guyana come November 4th 2007.

2007 has so far been a great year for Caribbean Motor Racing as teams from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago,  Suriname and Guyana ventured out of their homelands to participate in some of the biggest racing events ever in the Caribbean region in a bid to enhance the greatest sport tourism product that the Caribbean has to offer, motor racing.

The final Caribbean motor racing showdown for 2007 will explode at a location commonly referred to as the Mecca of Caribbean Motor Racing, the South Dakota Circuit in Guyana. On November 4th 2007, teams from Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, the USA and Canada will literally invade the South Dakota Circuit to take on the very best that host country Guyana has to offer. Some one hundred and twenty combatants are expected to take take part in this history making event. Even more names will be added to the list below as we head closer to D-Day.

Click to enlargeWe have a spy shot of that wild 650 BHP Subaru Impreza that is coming for the November 4th International Race of Champions. This wild beat will be driven in GP3-4 by no other than the President of GMR&SC Vishok Persaud and it's expected to shatter the current lap record of South Dakota. At 650 break, this car can very well create a new lap record indeed. Did someone say Warrrrrrrrr! You can bet your sweet Bazooka it's going to be warrrrrrrrrr!!! War at South Dakota.

We have nineteen (19) enlisted warriors so far for Group 3, with just four of them representing the homeland, you can understand why we are calling it the invasion of South Dakota. Mark Vieira, Andrew King, Andrew Morgan and Vishok Persaud will be on the frontline in their desperate bid to defend Guyana, they have their work cut out for them to say the least.

They will have to fight off the awesome four member Jamaican team which includes two times Caribbean Champion David Summerbell, Peter Rae, Doug "Hollywood" Gore and Gary Williams.

Then there is the matter of the Trinidadian posse stating quite boldly that they are coming to take possession of South Dakota as well, their team includes Ravi Singh in his Turbo Charged Mazda RX7, Ruddy Beekee in his Mazda RX7 and team captain Gerard Carrington with his super quick AWD Turbo Charged Mitsubishi Mivec.

Strangely enough Canada which is normally a very peaceful country has also signaled that they too will be laying an assault on the South Dakota Circuit and will be sending in their contingent of warriors as well, Patrick Tong has already commandeered Andrew King's Mazda RX3  which he will use to back up teammate Shawn King in his tube framed Mazda RX7. Sanjay Sewsankar is also part of Team Canada and will be doing battle with his Mazda RX7.

Team Barbados will comprise of Doug Malloney, Steven King, Shawn Boxhill and Kenrick Husbands. Doug Malloney races an AWD Audi Quattro while Steven King will be driving a very fast and powerful  Nissan Skyline. Malloney and King will be taking part in the prestigious GP3 division, while Shawn Boxhill and Kenrick Husbands will be competing in the hot and furious Group 2A division.

Suriname will be part of this extraordinary battle with Oliver Tjin-Liep-Shie already declaring that he is not planning on taking prisoners with his Mitsubishi Evo1 which is powered by a Turbo Charged Evo 6 power plant.

Ryan Gonsalves of St Vincent and the Grenadines will be competing in Guyana for the very first time in the Beck Gonsalves tube frame Mazda RX7, this car presently holds the lap record for the Wallerfield Raceway in Trinidad. This extremely beautiful tube frame car is nothing short of amazing to look at, a lot of money was spent on putting this car together and it shows. This cars has a Transaxle setup meaning that the gearbox and the back axle are one unit. Look out for this monster come November 4th.

It is going to be nothing short of an atomic explosion when these eighteen monster cars all packing in excess of three hundred break horsepower under their individual hoods take to the start line to decide who is the best of the best come November 4th at the South Dakota Circuit. This is going to be Warrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
