….Ansa McAL, B.M. Soat also on Board

SPECIAL Auto and Mohamed’s Enterprise are among the first sponsors of the upcoming season opening Endurance race meet of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC)..

According to a club release, Ansa McAl and B.M Soat are also onboard for the January 28th event at the South Dakota Circuit.
Vice-president of the club, Hansraj Singh, contended that this is a good sign for the sport, that companies have the confidence to continually sponsor events.

He noted that there is still time for others to come on board, while urging competitors to organize themselves for a packed day of racing, come two weeks’ time.
Five classes will be in action on the day which will feature both bikes and cars competing in separate races.

In the first class, cars up to 1500cc will be considered eligible, with the second class being from 1501-1600cc. The third class will see cars in the 1601-2000cc class, with the unlimited class featuring cars over 2000cc.

On release of the calendar yesterday, president of the club, Rameez Mohamed, commented, “We know that the guys (racers) were asking for early indication of events, so we tried as much as possible to get that out so persons can prepare.”

He continued, “We also saw the need to get the bikes involved as well, because they are an important stakeholder in racing and the support for them during the last outing was outstanding.”

“What we also have this year is the Endurance calendar being done on a championship basis rather than by meet, so persons can rebound from a bad weekend to still fight for a championship.”

The Endurance championship will be followed by a local drag race meet on February 11th, with the club’s Annual General Meeting set for the 16th.
