A twenty-seven race programme was unveiled on Friday evening as the Guyana motor racing and sports club gets ready to host the final leg of the 2017 Caribbean Motor Racing Championships at the South Dakota Circuit on November 11 and 12.
The sturdy programme will feature two days of racing action including the much talked about Suzuki Radical SR-3 display on both days as well as drifting action.
According to the president of the Club Rameez Mohamed, the 27 events will have to be done over two days to ensure that there is enough time to run off the local and Caribbean Championships and as well as several new dimensions that the club is planning.
Some big names are expected to be on show in Guyana like never before
“We have a jam packed programme for November. There are so many things that we want to show the Guyanese public that we needed to have two full days of racing,” Mohamed said.
“Our committee has confirmed so far that there are going to be two professional drift cars from Trinidad to showcase their skillset for the locals,” the GMR&SC boss added.
He continued, “In addition to those drifters, there will the much talked about SR-3 Radicals from Barbados. We have four coming for a couple of exhibitions. That is in addition to the foreign competitors for the Caribbean Championship.”
He noted that after looking at the programme, the volume of races was too much for one day, hence the committee decided to do qualifying and four events on the Saturday, November 11.
Saturday, he noted, will be treated just as a race day, with charges for spectators, safety precautions and rules applying.
Qualification will also be held on Saturday morning from 10:00h with races beginning from 14:00h. Scrutinising will take place on Thursday and Friday and before qualification on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the club is organising weekend passes for patrons desirous of viewing both days of action as well as VIP passes.
