Top drivers to battle in second round of GMR&SC circuit championship

The second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) 2024 circuit championship is set for June 30 at the South Dakota Circuit, and top drivers will be battling for supremacy.

Some of the Guyanese drivers are fresh from the Speed Jam Motorsport Festival in Trinidad and Tobago, which was curtailed due to an accident.

According to President of the GMR&SC Mahendra ‘Raj’ Boodhoo, exhilarating racing is expected at the end of June, as drivers will be bringing their ‘A’ game.

“Once you have a reliable car, you can compete at the top. Reliability plays a major part in motor racing, especially now,” Boodhoo said.

The star-studded roster expected for the race meet includes drivers from Guyana and the United States of America, among them Vishok Persaud, Mark Vieira, Mohan Rangasammy, Danny Persaud, Mahendra Boodhoo, Nasrudeen Mohamed Jr. and Gavin Gayadin.

While the fans will be expecting to see the top drivers in action, Boodhoo is calling on prospective drivers to take the brave step in the need for speed.

“Everyone has a hidden side of them. Most people do like speed. What we do at GMRS&C is put the speed under a controlled environment. We have a rookie class, and once your equipment is up to safety standards, we allow you to race in that class. From there on, once the driver is developed, they are placed into groups,” Boodhoo advised.

Some of the sponsors for the second round of the circuit championship are GUYOIL, Castrol, ENet, Tropical Shipping, AJM Enterprise and Pegasus. (Source: GMR&SC)
