WHEN the dust settled after two hours of gruelling racing, the Ramchand’s Wreckers emerged champions of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) Endurance meet on Sunday.

The first of three Endurance races in the 2018 Calendar for racing saw the East Coast-based team return to winning ways, to take first dibs on the lien trophy to be awarded at year-end.

At the end of the two-hour session, the Wreckers team, comprising Adrian Fernandes and Anand Ramchand, had completed 83 laps, five more than their competitors and second-placed Sean Bacchus.
Their Gillette-sponsored Levin; no stranger to the winners’ circle, was the first to cross the line demoting the team of Roshan Ali and Shahabudin Roshandin to third overall, after a seven-lap difference.

In the 0-1500cc class, Ali and Roshandin lifted the first-place trophy, just one lap more than the Nexus team of Haniff Mohamed and Raymond Seebarran who scored 76.
Third place went to the team of Clint and Shane Seebarran who completed 71 laps.
The 1501-1600cc was won by the Wreckers with Sean Bacchus and team finishing second and Motilall Deodass and Kamal Seebarran coming in third.
In the 1601-2000cc class, Rameez Mohamed was the only driver able to finish the race with 32 laps, also resetting the lap record with a 1:19.086.

The Unlimited class was won by Romeo Singh who completed 57 laps.
Racers will now shift gears for the King of the Strip Drag Race meet on February 14, followed by the Annual General Meeting and Election on the 16th.
