With an impressive debut performance that saw him clinch three podium finishes at Sebring, Deonarine is now eyeing an even bigger challenge – testing his skills in the competitive arena of GB4 racing. His journey to the top has been fuelled by sheer talent and unwavering determination.

Teaming up with Ryspec, Deonarine is committed to running in the 2024 Radical Cup North America championship, showcasing his skills on tracks across the continent. But his ambitions don't stop there. He embarked on a new chapter last weekend by making his GB4 debut at the season-opener at Oulton Park, where he joined forces with fellow Canadian racer Callum Baxter at Graham Brunton Racing.

Deonarine is a beneficiary of the Road To Racing Canada programme, a groundbreaking motorsport charity aimed at nurturing young racing talent. Recognizing Mayer's potential, Road To Racing has awarded him the Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship, providing full funding for his Oulton Park appearance. This opportunity not only supplements his Radical Cup campaign but also opens doors for potential further GB4 events, pending sponsorship and donations.

Deonarine's journey is not without its challenges. Racing against seasoned veterans like two-time Le Mans starter Chris McMurry has been both a learning experience and a testament to his skill and determination. His progress is documented in the captivating Radical Journey videos, showcasing the highs and lows of his racing career.

As he gears up for the next challenge, Mayer remains focused on his ultimate goal - clinching the Pro 1340 championship. Currently sitting third in points, his determination to succeed is unwavering. In a recent statement, Deonarine praised the Radical Cup for providing him with invaluable preparation for his GB4 debut and expressed his eagerness to compete at the highest level.

The next four rounds of the Radical Cup North America will coincide with IndyCar events, starting with the race at Barber on April 26-28. This convergence of elite racing series further underscores the caliber of talent and competition Deonarine faces on his journey to the top.
