GMRSC’s endurance round 2Rivals ready to compete at this Sunday’s meet
Romeo Singh; Round One Unlimited class winner.
All systems are a go for Sunday’s second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMRSC) endurance series which will be competed at the South Dakota Circuit’s outer track from 09:00hrs, according to Vice-president of the club, Hansraj Singh.
Over 40 entrants are expected to take to the track to see who can complete the most laps during the grueling three-hour long race. Among the drivers confirming their participation includes former Champion Motilall Deodass, track record holder Rameez Mohamed and Shan Seejatan.
After round one, 2018 overall champion driver, Team Ramchand’s Wreckers’ Adrian Fernandes (78 laps), narrowly defeated Sean Bacchus (77 laps) for the 1600cc and overall win after Bacchus’ machine gave in during the final three minutes of the two-hour long drive.
Dawolu Harper (77 laps) finished third in the 1600cc class and overall in his Kinshasa sponsored Starlet. It was a decent finish for him after being sidelined from the track for some time.
Shan Seejatan (unlimited class) blazed out the blocks and was leading the race for the first few laps but encountered the first of many problems early on and had to come off the track to diagnose the issues. Despite encountering frequent problems, Seejatan was able to complete 58 laps for a third place finish within his class but more importantly, he came agonisingly close to resetting the lap record which was set by Rameez Mohamed in 2018’s final endurance round, last December. Seejattan ‘s best time was 1minute 17.142 seconds, while the track record is 1minute 17.086 seconds.
The unlimited class was won by Romeo Singh (72 laps) but Motilall Deodass (59 laps) surprisingly finished second ahead of Seejatan.
Mohamed Ali (33 laps) was the best driver in the 2000cc class, while Roshan Ali (20 laps) finished second followed by Rafeek Khan in third with 19 laps.
In the 1500cc class, Narendra Mangar (73 laps) won, followed by Richard Hamid (70) in second place and Mark Wong (69) in third.
On social media, there is a lot of friendly banter so fans can expect to witness keen competition at South Dakota, free of cost.
