A HOST of regulations have been put in place to ensure safety and fair competition ahead of this weekend’s opening of the
Endurance Race of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sport Club.

Following a competitors meeting on Thursday evening, it was decided that the club will ditch the manual ‘hand timing’ system and utilize the same transponder system that circuit racing uses.
Cyril Angoy has been appointed the Clerk of the Course for this event with cars being gridded based on how they signed up for the event.

For this event, each team will comprise two members with drivers doing a maximum of one and a half hour and a minimum of half an hour.

Competitors are also reminded that it is mandatory to wear protective clothing/gear inclusive of fully covered footwear and jeans.

Meanwhile the championship format has also been decided for the three Endurance events for the year.

Points will be awarded to individual drivers and will range from first to tenth, with first place being awarded 25 points, second place 18, third place 15, fourth place 12; fifth place 10, sixth place gets eight, seventh gets six, eighth gets four, ninth gets two and tenth gets one.

The same will be applied for mechanics as the end of the 2018 year will feature a champion mechanic.

A lien trophy will be awarded to the overall winners after their names are imprinted onto their trophies. The winners must defend their trophies at the subsequent rounds.

Sunday’s event will begin at 13:00hrs and admission to the South Dakota Circuit is free.
