Calvin Ming Review
" Best Racing Set Up "
I came across Cool Performance when I was in my early stages of racing, I struggled to find a simulator which replicated the Formula Style of seating. Cool Performance provided me with a full set up which I am using frequently to have fun and also train on.

Calvin Ming x Cool Performance
Early in his racing career, Calvin Ming struggled to find a simulator that replicated the formula style of seating, so Cool Performance provided him with a full set up that he uses frequently to train and to have fun. The Guyanese driver began karting at the age of six and raced across the Caribbean before moving to Florida in 2015 to pursue a career in cars. He won the NACAM F4 Championship on his second attempt, in a campaign that included a win at the races supporting the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix. He then stepped up to the U.S. F2000 National Championship on the Road to Indy, scoring six podiums in 28 races, and also raced in the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand.
