Calvin Stanley Ming (born July 25, 1996) is a Guyanese former racing driver.[1]
Ming began his career at the age of six, when his father Stanley – a former motorcycle racer – bought him a go-kart for his birthday.[2] Having competed in karting across the Caribbean, he relocated to Florida in 2015 to pursue a career in cars. He made his début in U.S. F1600, and simultaneously began testing in Formula 4 with a view to contesting the Mexican championship – completing an exhibition at the South Dakota Circuit in Guyana in an effort to garner local sponsorship.[3][4]
Ming won the NACAM F4 Championship on his second attempt in a campaign that saw him win a race supporting the 2016 Mexican Grand Prix.[5][6] Following this, Ming secured a promotion to the U.S. F2000 National Championship on the Road to Indy ladder, and after scoring six podiums in 28 races he fell back to regional racing after a handful of outings in the Toyota Racing Series in New Zealand.[7][8]
Following multiple years out of the sport, Ming returned to racing at the 2024 Games of the Future in Sochi, Russia, finishing sixth in the Formula 4 class alongside team-mate Cristian Cantú.[9]
Ming was also a national Junior Chess Champion.[10]
