The 2020 motor sport season gets underway with the first round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) Endurance Championship at the South Dakota Circuit, Timehri, where Team Special Auto have confirmed that they will be among the speedsters throwing down the ‘throttle’ for bragging rights.

In an invited comment with Kaieteur Sport, Team Special Auto’s Shan Seejattan shared that this Sunday’s race will be used as a precursor to the National Race of Champions (NROC) on March 16th and he along with the team have been working assiduously to get their machines ready for Sunday.
Seejattan also confirmed that Special Auto will have two cars on the South Dakota Circuit this weekend; his Toyota Levin and Roshan Ali’s Toyota Starlet.
Both drivers will gauge their race cars’ performance during the three-hour battle of racing stamina event in five days’ time and will then re-calibrate for maximum performance at the NROC circuit meet next month.
In the endurance season opener last year, Seejattan, who races in the unlimited class, finished third after encountering some mechanical problems following a blazing start with some fast laps. The group-two competitor vowed to turn in a much better performance in the Endurance this year with eyes on the lap record.
The 2019 season opener also saw Roshan Ali on the podium, in the 2000cc class, finishing second with 20 laps behind Mohamed Ali with 33 laps and narrowly ahead of Rafeek Khan in third with 19 laps.
Sean Bacchus, Shairaz Roshandin, Rameez Mohamed, Motilall Deodass, Dowalu Harper, Annand Ramchand and Adrian Fernandes are among the drivers who have confirmed their participation for Sunday.
