Mark Vieira

Something of a folk hero in regional motor sport, Mark raced Honda and Yamaha bikes from age 18, until injuries sustained in a huge accident at his home circuit of South Dakota in 1987 brought a switch to cars. In a long and distinguished career (his Caribbean Motor Racing Championship best was runner-up and top 2wd in 2007), he has been a regular winner and lap record-holder at home and in Barbados in rotary-engined Maxda RX-7 and RX-8, although success has eluded him in Jamaica and he had not raced in T&T before 2018. His flamboyant and aggressive driving style and no-nonsense approach to racing carried over in to the SR3 Cup, in which he was one of the original competitors in 2015. He represented Guyana in the Race Of Champions Caribbean Cup 2014 at Bushy Park Barbados.
