According to a source close to the club, the Dexterity/Race Challenge will see drivers permitted to use there normal road going vehicles and have some amount of racing fun under a controlled environment.
The official added that this form of racing was absent for the last 8 yrs and the whole aim of the event is to provide family entertainment and racing in Georgetown.
When questioned on how the activity is done he said it will be an elimination bout where a course will be set with pylons and the driver will be given directions on how to drive through it.
“One car will be allowed at a time and you will be racing against the clock and your time will be taken to see who does it the fastest. The first 20 vehicles move on to the other round to another elimination where a new course will be implemented,” he outlined.
