“No racing until 2021” – GMR&SC boss

Oct 03, 2020 Sports

The head of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC); Rameez Mohamed, in an invited comment informed Kaieteur Sport that there will be no official event by the club for the remainder of the 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

No more motor sport for the rest of 2020 including the consistent November Int’l race meet.

There were no drag race events in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Although the recently gazetted covid-19 emergency measures states that no person shall attend, host or visit a competitive sporting event, many racing fans and some competitors maintained their optimism since the initial lockdown in March that they could’ve had some form of competition.
Mohamed disclosed that he was proposing to have an event behind closed doors but fans would’ve been able to get in on the action via live streams on social media but his request was denied by local authorities.
The administrator explained that although many fans and competitors may be disappointed, he encouraged everyone to be safe and follow the guidelines of local authorities since the only way to return to the South Dakota Circuit at Timehri is to lower the infection rate in Guyana.
The GMR&SC hosted two race-meets at the Timehri race track this year, namely the Endurance Championship round one and the National Race of Champions round one in January and February, respectively.
The Dexterity Challenge and the Drag Championship which were scheduled for March and April were cancelled as will the marquee event, the November International Meet which will not take place for the first time in many years. (Calvin Chapman)
