GMR&SC boss tells racers to get ready for January
Endurance Season begins on January 24 2021.
Kaieteur News – The 2020 local motor racing season may have been curtailed with just two meets speeding off at the South Dakota Circuit, Timehri due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) are putting all systems in place for a safe and competitive 2021 season.
The head of the body, Rameez Mohamed, has issued a call for competitors in the Endurance division to start putting their machines together and bringing them up to speed with the proposed date for the commencement of that Championship being scheduled for January 24 on the official GMR&SC 2021 calendar; pending approval.
The GMR&SC calendar continues with13 scheduled events as was the case this season and the second and final round of Endurance action will boost off on May 8 and hopefully, fans may get to witness live whether or not multiple time reigning champion Adrian Fernandes or Team Ramchand Wreckers will retain his crown.
On Valentine’s Day, Drag racing will return to the South Dakota strip which has undergone tremendous work during the pandemic and records are expected to be broken on the smoother, more leveled surface.
The much subscribed International Drag Race Meet is set for August 15 and some keen rivalry is anticipated with many drivers from Trinidad & Tobago already signaling their interest to the GMR&SC of competing as soon as possible. The 2021 drag racing season will conclude with its third and final meet on October 3.
The GT MotorSports Karting Championships will have four rounds next year with the dates set being March 13, April 24, July 17 and August 21.
Round one of the National Race of Champions (Circuit meet), is slated for March 28 at South Dakota where Team CAMS of North America is expected to have a large contingent being spearheaded by Afraz Allie.
July 4 is the day for Round Two of the circuit championship, while the popular International Circuit Meet, which usually serves as the final round of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC), will have high octane energy on November 7 to close off the season.
During this period of no competition, Mohamed continues to urge motor racing fans and competitors to remain patient and to exercise the right safety measures as the fight against covid-19 continues.
