SEVERAL racers turned out with their machines yesterday for the Test and Tune event  organised by the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC).

Hosted at the South Dakota circuit, racers of both cars and bikes took advantage of the test to shake down their cars.

Group Three driver Stefan Jeffrey contended that the shakedown was a success for him, adding, “Yea, It’s been a year since I’ve been in the car and I think that we’ve been successful.”

Group Two driver Shan Seejattan also commented on the successful test and tune, adding that “We had some problems with the CV and we discovered and I’m glad that we did.”

Super- stock rider Matthew Vieira, who also used the test to ensure  a proper shakedown of his R6, added that “We’ve got some problems with the bike that we have to get fixed in the coming days.”

Sunday’s test also saw the return of the 125cc class and competitor, Nicholas Boodhram, was keen on getting back into the action.

“It’s great to be back on the track, the bike has some problems due to being down for three years and we are glad for today,” Boodhram added.
