Calvin Ming is confident of turning around his season in the Cooper Tires USF2000 series.
Ming, who has had a string of mid-pack finishes for the season thus far, indicated to Chronicle Sport via exclusive interview yesterday that things are looking up for the remainder of the season. “The season has been decent but also kind of a struggle with issues with the car.

Ming, Guyana’s Senior Sportsman-of-the-Year, said that the support back home has also been heartwarming, especially from his fans and friends. “I think that’s a great feeling.

I can’t thank them enough for their support.” Ming recently returned to Mexico to collect his F4 championship trophy which he won in 2016-17 and is getting ready for rounds eight and nine this weekend in Canada.
