Motor Racing: Dexterity Challenge postponed
The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), in a correspondence to Kaieteur Sport has noted that the much anticipated return of the ‘Dexterity’ event following its six-year hiatus from the club’s calendar will be delayed.
The event was set to get underway this Saturday at the National Stadium, Providence on the East Bank of Demera
GMR&SC’s Dexterity Challenge has been postponed.
ra from 16:00hrs but due to the current political situation in Guyana, the club saw it best to postpone the event to a later date to be determined by the club’s executive.
In an invited comment with Kaieteur Sport, vice-President of the club, Shairaz Roshandin, noted that the event is aimed at having maximum fan participation, while the cost and ease of access location would have encouraged the patrons to come out in their numbers.
The main attraction of the Dexterity event will be the Race Challenge. A course will be plotted using cones and competitors will be given a map that shows how to maneuver with the driver that does it the fastest being the winner. The course race will be divided into three classes; the 1500cc, 2000cc and Unlimited.
This race will be open to the public and any driver can challenge the pros with road cars in a controlled environment with entry to compete costing a mere $2000 per driver.
Roshandin explained that, “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 next round where a new course will be implemented.”
According to the executive, the event will be a maximum skill test of acceleration, braking and turning and in order to participate, a driver does not need a specially built race car, just the requisite skills.
