PERSONS at home will not be left out of the upcoming Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) drag race meet. The club has confirmed that the event will be live-streamed. Club president Rameez Mohamed updated the media yesterday saying, “The event will be live-streamed via one of our major sponsors, E-Networks.
“Fans will not miss the action at the South Dakota raceway as the event will be streaming via the club’s Facebook page as well as broadcasts on several local and cable channels.” E1, SKAR TV (Channel 102) as well as Tarzee TV in Bartica, are the channels that will be broadcasting the action.
“This move represents a great step forward in the sport because it’s something we’ve been trying to do for a long time and this time presents the perfect opportunity to test it.

As it relates to spectators, the GMR&SC boss added, “We may allow a limited number of spectators into the venue but that is still in its discussion phase and we don’t want to speak more about that just yet.” Meanwhile with just over a week remaining for the February 28 event, track preparation is in continuing.
The track is being prepped daily to ensure that come race-day, complaints over the surface will be a non-issue.
Meanwhile the club reminded that the event will be held under the COVID-19 guidelines with masks and sanitisation mandatory for all drivers, marshals and persons entering the venue.
