NIGHT Club and Restaurant Palm Court has kicked six drivers into a higher gear for this weekend’s International Race of Champions at the South Dakota Circuit.

Race car drivers, Rameez Mohamed, Peter Morgan, Sharima Khan, Rupee Shewjattan and motor bikers Kevin Persaud and Raveiro Tucker will now sport the Palm Court sticker on their machines following yesterday’s handing-over
Manager of the entity, Sasha Lewis, speaking at the simple presentation ceremony held at the Main Street location, explained that support for the sport will be continuous and she hopes it will aid in Guyana securing valuable championship points.
Lewis also made a call for other members of the corporate sector to aid in the development of local sportsmen and women.

“In other countries big companies support their athletes all around the world and I think in Guyana we need to invest a lot more. These are people with talents and we need to push them more rather than spending money out of the country, supporting others when we can support our own,” she appealed.

Khan, who was present, expressed her gratitude for the continued support and acknowledged it will go a long way in helping her perform to her optimum on race day.
Meanwhile, this weekend’s 27-race programme is being touted as the biggest to grace these shores, as it will encompass heated action on Saturday as well as Sunday.
Based on reports, two professional drift cars from Trinidad and Tobago, as well as four SR-3 Radicals from Guyana and Barbados will bring added attractions for fans.
Scrutineering was expected to be conducted yesterday and today before both the qualification (10:00hrs) and races (14:00hrs) tomorrow.
