Spectrum, Misir team up for 2023 season

JAMAICA’S FORMULA Woman driver, Sara Misir, looks forward to raising the roof tomorrow at the Dover Raceway, especially with roofing company, Spectrum Systems, announcing sponsorship of her 2023 motorsports season.

The sponsorship, which runs into millions of dollars, will see Spectrum Systems supporting Misir for her local racing calendar.

Misir was the 2022 Jamaica Race Drivers Club (JRDC) Champion in the MP3 & TS1 classes. She will open her season at the JRDC’s Carnival of Speed at the Dover Raceway on Easter Monday.

Misir will take on a new challenge as she moves up a class to the MP4 category to face the 2022 champion, veteran Doug ‘Hollywood’ Gore.

Misir looks forward to the challenge.

“I dominated the MP3 class last season, so I wanted to take on a new challenge this year. The MP4 class has been dominated by “the beast”, Doug Gore, but look out for ‘the beauty’ this year!” joked Misir.

Meanwhile, CEO of Spectrum Systems Limited, Andrew Stanigar, is putting his weight behind Misir.

“Spectrum Systems, Jamaica’s number-one roofing company, is pleased to sponsor Jamaica’s number-one female race car driver. We see how much she has dedicated to the race track in 2022 for Formula Woman, the GT Cup Championships and in the JRDC series and we wish her all the best as she takes on the MP4 class,” said Stanigar.

Head of Leep Marketing and manager to Sara Misir, Tanya Lee Perkins, said sponsorship support for athletes is a welcome boost.

“We are thankful to Spectrum Systems for joining her sponsor pool for 2023. Sponsorships encourage athletic performance and signals that corporate Jamaica is behind our sportswomen and men and believe in their talent and ability to inspire,” she said.

Sara Misir is the GLEANER/RJR Sports Foundation Motosports Athlete of the Year in the female category.

In 2022, Spectrum System also sponsored Jamaica’s all-female shooting team, the Super Six shooters. The team of shooters were third at the Pan American Handgun Championships.
