GMR&SC Circuit Racing Championships round two…

‘Be afraid. Be very afraid. I am not looking for second.’

THOSE were the words of SuperStock B Competitors Alain Hopkinson ahead of this weekend’s second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s Circuit championship.
Hopkinson was upbeat after last weekend’s practice session and opted to send an ominous message to his rivals ahead of the July 5 and 6 event.

“I’m not going to look for second. In the first event, I made two mistakes and that won’t happen again. I can assure you, that won’t happen again,” he said.
He urged fans to come out to the South Dakota Circuit and witness the action live as it is a battle they will not want to miss, saying, “Like always, the bikers always bring the vibe, they always bring the spills and thrills, more thrills than spills.”

As the current leader of the 2025 championship, he explained, “There is no comfort in being at the top. Staying focused is a must. To stay ahead of the class, I have to make sure I make all the corners, my call name is run-straight because I tend to overshoot most of my turns under pressure. I just got to make the turns now.”

“This is what you always wish for, this is what you always aim for when you get into anything, especially motorcycle racing in Guyana. We are always pushing for greatness,” he admitted.
The superstock B rider stated, “When you’re out there racing, it’s tunnel vision, you don’t see anything else, everything just flies by so fast but it’s a great feeling. I wouldn’t give this up for anything else unless it’s family.”

The second round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s Circuit Racing Championship is sponsored by GUYOIL, Tropical Shipping, ENET, Shaw Construction, XL Engineering, Prem’s Electrical.
