Announcing, the Caribbean SIM-Racing Organisation's 2022 August Caribbean GT3/4 Championship campaign. The outfit will undertake, for the first time, a mixed grid championship where both GT3 and GT4 classification cars will be on the grid simultaneously. In the interest of time, the decision was made to merge the grids for the 2022 August running of the championship. This is not the first time that the CSRO has explored a GT4 Championship. Back in 2020 during its preliminary testing and season, the CSRO featured a one-off GT4 championship that proved very competitive for the competitors at the time. This championship will be even more challenging with the merging of the grids but will also be a great way for the newer, much slower guys to have an opportunity at earning title wins among likened competitors than if they were to sign up for a GT3 championship only. The championship will feature four rounds that will span the globe with competition being seen on four different continents commencing on the 7th of August and will end on the 28th of August, 2022. Below is the full calendar of events:

Calendar of Events for the CSRO's Caribbean GT3/4 Championship

In order to enter the event, competitors will first need to enter into the Qualifiers which begin tonight (18th July) at 18:00 hours Eastern Caribbean Time/ 19:00 hours -4UTC. The Qualifiers will run for a total of twelve days and will end on the 30th of July. After which the total limit of entrants which currently stands at 34 will be split given consideration of the closeness of timings to determine who will fill the GT3 and GT4 grid slots. They will then be entered into a roulette which will determine the machines that they will be piloting for the respective championships. Be sure to look out for the opening round starting on the 7th of August from 18:00 Hours Western Caribbean Time/ 19:00 Hours Eastern Caribbean Time.

And that's all she wrote; on the 26th of June, we closed the 2022 June CSMC at Circuit Zolder and what a race it would be. In the absence of Trinidadian Dominic Charles, Guyanese John Greene would lead the charge in the last of the fifteen minutes qualifying sessions. John came out to the end of the session and, on the final lap of his run, submitted a blazing 1:30.656 that saw him catapult into pole position. Jamaican Kurt Moss, who was pipped to tie the championship with Dominic on points but lost on total laps lead managed the second position on the front row with a 1:31.124, some .468 of a second behind John. Trinidadian Mikhail Charles managed a competitive lap that placed him in as lead for the second row with a 1:31.389, some .265 of a second behind Kurt Moss. Jamaican Michael Paisley presented a 1:31.410, a close .021 of a second behind Mikhail Charles. And closing off the top five in qualifying was newcomer Trinidadian Declan Daniel with a 1:31.472.


Guyanese John Greene leads the contingent in the rolling start.


As we embarked to recognise the top five runners in our championships, the points heading into the final round stood at; Trinidadian Dominic Charles with 68 points, Jamaican Kurt Moss trailing with some 43 points, Jamaican Michael Paisley with 40, Guyanese John Greene with 27 points and Jamaican Donmaur Scott with 22 points.

Tonight we will complete our 2022 June Caribbean Single Make Championship with Round #4 set in the Municipality of Zolder at Circuit Zolder. The circuit was famously known for hosting Formula One before they moved to Spa after the 1982 Grand Prix which took the life of F1 legend Gilles Villeneuve. The circuit has a total length of 4.010 km/ 2.492 miles with a total of 10 undulating turns. The current lap record is 1:14.089 set by Sébastien Olivier Bourdais in a Panoz DP01.

For the final time tonight, we go racing in what has been dubbed the most exciting series put on show by CSRO in their Single Make category. The Porsches have lived up to the hype and the pedigree of competitors as well. Nearly every part of the field has seen a close and entertaining battle throughout this championship and for sure, it has definitely taken with it that vibe into the final round. As we wrap up the final free practice session in a few hours time. Leading the chart once again, is none other than Dominic Charles with a time of 1:30.845. The Trinidadian managed that time within 55 laps and also grabbed the fastest top speed of 230.05 Km/h. Next in line is Guyanese John Greene and when I say next in line, there is barely anything between them with a 1:30.879, just .034 of a second off Dominic Charles' time. The Guyanese however, did over 100 laps and only managed 229.95 Km/h of VMAX speed. Jamaican Michael Paisley pipped his countryman, Kurt Moss to the third spot with a time of 1:31.356, some .411 of a second to the top spot with 222 laps at 229.45 Km/h top speed. Do remember, this kid is on a gaming controller rather than a wheel/ pedals rig set-up like most of the guys on the grid especially those ahead of him. Fourth as we mentioned is currently in the possession of Jamaican Kurt Moss who managed a 1:31.660 which sets him .815 of a second behind the top spot and he did so within 69 laps at 228.70 Km/h top speed. Fifth was claimed by a newcomer to the fight, a Trinidadian by the name of Declan Daniel who managed to drop a 1:31.723. He did so within 51 laps at 229.55 Km/h top speed and sits just .878 of a second outside of the top position.


SPECIAL REPORT: This weekend we see a Trinidadian invasion which was basically summoned by Dominic Charles as they all hail from the CRC Camp of Trinidad & Tobago (Calypso Racing Community). Declan Daniel, as we mentioned in our previous paragraph, Marc Pogson, and Andrew Marsan. Look out for these guys as the latter two have already proven themselves and landed spots just outside of the top five.
