Pierre ‘Ravi’ Singh, who narrowly escaped his motorcar that spontaneously caught fire on Sunday during the first round of the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMR&SC) Endurance Championship round one at South Dakota Circuit, Timehri, has shared with the media that he is currently in a stable condition as he nurses back to health.

A packed grid of 20 cars lined up at the track for round one of the Endurance Championships Sunday last.

Shairaz Roshandin (front) led the race for the first few laps but couldn’t maintain his good start.

“Everything is okay. It’s a lot of pain but I am trying with it. Thank God that I am still alive, I had to think fast and get out the car while it was still driving just to save myself and it’s an experience that I will never forget. I must also thank everyone who was there to help me,” Singh shared.
Singh was leading third overall in the Sunday’s Endurance meet that saw 20 cars starting the race and was seeded in first place of the unlimited class before the incident, which he was lucky to survive with just a first degree burn to his left thigh and hand.
Singh would have been burnt alive if he hadn’t managed to escape.
