May 19, 2013 Sports

It is expected to be a test of endurance, dexterity and reliability when the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) stages its Endurance Race Meet today, at the South Dakota Circuit.
Kaieteur Sport caught up with Aaron Bethune, one of the drivers on Team Cars Mart, who promised that the duo will be among those battling for supremacy when the green lights are flashed to signal the start of the event.
Bethune will team up with Anthony Boodhoo in a Honda Civic and they have expressed confidence of doing well in the race.
He said Endurance racing is on the upswing and posited that even though it might not be able to rival circuit racing, it is growing increasingly popular within the racing community.
