Au­to­mo­bile sports fans are in for an­oth­er treat when round two of the Waller­field Cup Fi­nals (WCF) be­gins at 10 am Sat­ur­day (May 31) and con­tin­ues Sun­day (June 1) at the icon­ic Frankie Boodram In­ter­na­tion­al Race­way in Waller­field.

Round one, which was con­test­ed on April 26 and 27 drew some 5,000 spec­ta­tors and this week­end’s event could chal­lenge that fig­ure ac­cord­ing to T&T Au­to­mo­bile Sports As­so­ci­a­tion (TTASA) pres­i­dent Ash­ton Eligon.

He said, “This event con­tin­ues to sur­pass ex­pec­ta­tions — not just in the size of the crowds, but in the stan­dard of mo­tor­sport com­pe­ti­tion be­ing de­liv­ered. We are proud to see T&T step con­fi­dent­ly on­to the re­gion­al mo­tor­sport stage with events re­flect­ing pro­fes­sion­al­ism and pas­sion.”

The WCF is the newest in­car­na­tion of T&T’s drag rac­ing cham­pi­onship se­ries, which will be used to qual­i­fy dri­vers for the pres­ti­gious Caribbean Cham­pi­onship Se­ries.

Round two will see the re­turn of many of the pre­vi­ous round’s crowd favourites, such as Boost­lab’s all-wheel-dri­ve Hon­da which made a blis­ter­ing 8.19-sec­ond run. An­oth­er crowd pleas­er was the pop­u­lar ‘Fish­van’ which broke the cov­et­ed 7-sec­ond bar­ri­er.

Pro­mot­er Rezan Ogeer said, “We knew the ap­petite for mo­tor­sport was there, but round one proved it with­out a doubt. Round two will take it even fur­ther — more speed, more ri­val­ry, and a ful­ly im­mer­sive ex­pe­ri­ence for fans. From the mo­ment the gates open, you’ll feel the dif­fer­ence.”

FIA re­gion­al rep­re­sen­ta­tive Sel­wyn Bun­ny Per­sad com­mend­ed the evo­lu­tion of the event.

“The Waller­field Cup Fi­nals have quick­ly be­come one of the most an­tic­i­pat­ed mo­tor­sport events in the Caribbean,” he said. “The com­mit­ment to safe­ty, struc­ture, and sport­ing ex­cel­lence is clear, and the FIA is proud to sup­port this kind of cham­pi­onship in the re­gion.”

Adding to the week­end’s ex­cite­ment is the re­turn of the GamerX Truck, of­fer­ing an in­ter­ac­tive, air-con­di­tioned gam­ing zone for chil­dren un­der 12. Fans can al­so look for­ward to give­aways and ac­ti­va­tions from sev­er­al event spon­sors, cre­at­ing a true fes­ti­val of speed and fam­i­ly en­ter­tain­ment.
