GMR&SC Race of Champions to ignite South Dakota on November 12–13

…Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart up for grabs

The annual November Race of Champions event of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) will take a different twist this year as the GMR&SC teams up with local business entity Impressions to host what is now being called “the premier auto event of the year”, the Guyana Automotive Expo and the Ignite Race of Champions.
The South Dakota Circuit, home of motor racing in Guyana, will, between November 12–13, welcome some of the region’s fastest cars in various groups, along with radical cars.
The GMR&SC has said that, over the past 50 years, the automotive industry in Guyana has been transformed through the strategic creation of high-level racing meets and events which cut across various demographics: status, religion, gender and age; attracting more than 30,000 patrons in a single space for one day.
November’s highly-anticipated annual Race of Champions is said to be the single largest sporting event that is consistent, well managed, and attracts a steady following and equal investment; and is also the marquee event on the GMR&SC’s local motor-racing calendar.
According to organisers, the ongoing ‘Radical Caribbean Cup’ (RCC) will culminate in Guyana with fans being given the opportunity to cheer on Kristian Jeffrey, the lone Guyanese competing in the series.
As the series heads to Trinidad this weekend, Jeffrey, with four wins in the six races so far, leads RCC standings with 125 points.
Jamaica’s Senna Summerbell, son of multiple Caribbean Motor Racing Champion David Summerbell Jnr, is also expected to compete in Guyana.
Zane Maloney, the 19-year-old Bajan 2022 FIA Formula 3 Vice-Champion, is also listed among the star-studded drivers touted to be part of the event.
Apart from the high-octane events at South Dakota, the Guyana Automotive Expo, the GMRSC said, would be the first-of-its-kind to be held in the country, and would cater to auto dealers, banks and other enthusiasts.
The GMR&SC has pointed out that, in the last years, major work has been done at South Dakota as it aspired to accommodate high-level action such as Formula 4 cars for the North and Central American Championships (NACAM) in the near future.
Meanwhile, the GMR&SC will, for the first time, be giving away a brand-new Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart car to one lucky patron attending the event.
With every purchase of a ticket to the November 12–13 event at South Dakota, an opportunity would be obtained to enter a draw to win the Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart car.
The GMR&SC plans to host a series of events to promote this November meet.
President Irfaan Ali had listed motor racing as one of the sports his administration intends to target for investment as Government pushes to make Guyana the premier destination for sports tourism and entertainment in the Caribbean.
Junior Sammy, ENetworks, Banks Beer, Prem’s Electrical, Vitality, Beharry Automotive Limited, Secure Innovations and Concepts, Government of Guyana, and Ministry of Tourism are listed as sponsors of this event.
