They felt the need… the need for SPEED!

Nascar and Formula One drivers had nothing on these racers as Cayman Karting hosted the Digicel launch of 4G.

And what better way to celebrate the telecommunications milestone than to hit the racetrack.

The smell of burning rubber wafted into the air as drivers from media outlets across Cayman revved their engines and donned their helmets for the big race.

And when the chequered flag  came down after 30 grueling laps, the team at the front of the pack was from Hurley’s Entertainment.

Three drivers from each team took turns on the track and with some neat cornering and precise handling Hurley’s looked unbeatable.

And that was the case at the end of the tournament as they lifted the trophy presented by Digicel CEO Victor Corcoran.

Mr Corcoran said: “4G is fast and what better way to launch it than at the go-kart track. Well done to Hurley’s and all the other teams that took part.”

Paramount Media, Digicel themselves and a team from iNews also took part in the race.
