SIC Endurance Rental Cup also on tonight

GT Motorsports yesterday officially launched its Georgetown Championships, a two-day event billed for today and Friday at the GT Motorsports Facility on Albert Street and Thomas Lands.

Tonight’s event is the second of a year-long once monthly instalment of the Endurance Rental Cup dubbed the Secure Innovations and Concepts (SIC) Endurance Cup

Speaking during a brief ceremony yesterday, president and owner of GT Motorsports Vishok Persaud contended that the event, which will be done once monthly, is gaining traction.
He added, “You will see normal guys just show up to rent a cart and they are going to be competing with the top dogs of the sport including a lot of recognised drivers.”
“48 drivers total is significant. Within two hours, we will have 48 drivers so it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Persaud stated.

Meanwhile title sponsors SIC, through managing director Harold Hopkinson, indicated that he is pleased to be a part of the once-monthly event.
In the last instalment, Team Heineken ‘karted’ off the 600lb class while earlier in the evening, the Gizmos and Gadgets and Guinness-sponsored unit ran untouched in the 500lb division.
Karcher and Auto Fashion as well as Monster energy drink are some of the other sponsors.

Meanwhile the opportunity was also taken to launch the Georgetown Grand Prix, which will feature various classes of karts including the 60cc juniors, 125cc juniors and seniors as well as the shifters.
That event will take place on Friday at the same venue and will feature three-time Canadian champion, now driving coach, Daryl Timmers, as well as the father/daughter combination of Trinidadian karting champions Ravi and Bridget Singh.
