KARTING is back in action next weekend when GT Motorsports hosts its first instalment of the Georgetown Grand Prix in Georgetown.

Under the auspices of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), the first of the four-round championship will take place on Saturday following the Holi celebrations.
According to information, a number of Trinidadian drivers are expected to be on show including Kristian Boodoosingh and Zachary Boodhram.

Meanwhile, there have been several class changes for the 2018 season with last year’s Easy Cup Light and Heavy merged into one category dubbed the Easy Cup Super.
This retains the four-stroke Honda-powered engines with the Easy Cup ‘Rookie’ going unchanged.

The 125cc class will also benefit from the addition of a Masters category for drivers over 30 years old or over 205lb, while Juniors (12-15 years old) and Seniors (15+) remain the same.

The 60cc class has been split into the IAME Micro Swift for ages 6-10 which features a restricted 60cc engine while the IAME Mini Swift features an unrestricted version of the same engine and is for ages 8-12.

The Mini also allows for a maximum weight of 245lb as against the Micro which features a maximum weight of 225lb.
The Pro Cup Shifter class also remains the same.
