GMRSC introduces historic all-female class in circuit racing

The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) is making history by introducing the female circuit racing class at the ENET Caribbean Clash of Champions.
This exciting development would see Guyana’s very own “Speed Queen” Sharima Khan being joined by Trinidadian top female driver Bridget Singh, U.S. racer Krystin Jaenicke and Guyanese newcomer Emily Ali in taking the track to inspire the next generation of women in motorsport.

Sharima Khan has long held the title of Guyana’s lone female racer, and has blazed a trail for women in the sport. Her Caribbean counterpart Bridget Singh has led the charge in Trinidad, where she has established herself as that country’s top female driver. Krystin Jaenicke brings her experience from the Mazda Miata Cup in the U.S., and Emily Ali, though a newcomer to circuit racing, is chockful of confidence and fighting spirit which has been drawn from her family’s racing background.
GMR&SC Executive Luis Kumar shared his enthusiasm for the new class by saying: “In drag racing, we started with four female drivers, and now we have over ten competing. We expect the same growth in circuit racing, though we know it’s more demanding.
“These women are taking a big step forward for females in the sport, and GMRSC is committed to supporting the FIA’s mandate to promote women in motorsport.”
According to the GMRSC, this all-female class is set to break boundaries and fuel the passion for racing among women across the Caribbean.
