Go-kart enthusiasts will have a chance to witness what is expected to be riveting action this evening, when the monthly Endurance Rental Cup speeds-off from 19:00 hrs at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club ground at Albert Street and Thomas Lands, Georgetown.
Yet again, fans can be assured of pulsating drives by some experienced karters
The event was originally fixed for Wednesday, March 22, but according to the organising body, GT Motorsports, heavy rainfall in the city affected minor rehabilitation works on the track. Once again, each team will comprise three members competing in two categories – the 500lb and 600lb Classes. In both categories, the teams have a maximum of one hour to drive (each driver will compete for 20 minutes), at the end of which the team with the most number of laps recorded will be declared champion.
Team Gizmos and Gadgets/iRide has been ruling the roost in the 500lb Class, winning both monthly events so far this year.
The team of Steven Nobrega, Matthew Phang and John Phang will look to continue its dominance, but would be wary of the challenge of its competitors, who have constantly been looking at ways to improve on their performances.
At the last event in February, the above-named team sped to 87 laps, finishing ahead of Team iCool, which comprises Matthew Vieira, Elliott Vieira and Marcel Proffit; and Team Deryck Auto Spares, which has the likes of Shane Haly, Michael Whitehead and Sachin Ramotar. Team Monster Energy, boasting the likes of Carlos Rodrigues, Kian Jabour and Antonio DaSilva, copped the 600lb Class title at the February race meet, recording a total of 85 laps.
Secure Innovations and Concepts, Auto Fashion, Monster Energy Drink, and Karcher have continued their sponsorship of this event. Admission to the venue is free.
