Local Track Stewards benefiting from OMDAI-FIA Directors visit
Local Race Stewards gathered at the GMR&SC Headquarters yesterday to attend sessions on improving their general knowledge of their designated assignments.
The Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) in its quest to improve the general standard of motor racing in Guyana retained the services of OMDAI-FIA Directors Jorge Rodriguez and Nathalie Moutet to conduct sessions for officials over a four-day period. The sessions which started on Thursday with Moutet spearheading discussions on how to improve the administrative skills of administrators and this was done over the first two days of the visit, while Rodriguez presentations to track stewards which commenced yesterday focused on the several aspects of their work during a race Meet. The sessions which will include both theoretical and practical had over sixty participants and they were lectured on how to organise race events, signaling and communications, safety intervention on the track, fire and personal safety and accident analysis.
The visit which is expected to conclude today will see the participants engage in the practical aspect of the sport and this is where they will be exposed to fire fighting and its extinction, signaling, radio reports and team organisation in Marshal Posts.
Speaking with a source close to the GMR&SC, he said the visit of the two officials was collaboration between the local racing entity and the FIA and is a follow-up to the trip made by FIA Track Engineer Julian Abed’s earlier this year where he met with Minister of Sport Dr. Frank Anthony and club officials and had promised to assist in helping to raise the level of the sport here. The visit concludes today with the final session at the GMR&SC on Albert Street.
