After two hours of competitive driving, team Ramchand’s Wreckers through driver Adrian Fernandes continued its stranglehold on the Endurance title of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club.
The team amassed a total of 86 laps over two hours.
But it was not without a close fight from the team of Motilall Deodass who finished just one lap a drift of the winners in the overall as well as 1501-1600cc class.
Finishing third overall was the team of Shan Seejattan who finished as the first unlimited car to cross the line after completing 82 laps.
After a late start to the day, the action finally got going with over 30 cars on the grid, representing one of the largest competitor turnouts this year.
At the halfway point one hour in, the Ramchand’s and Deodass teams were tied on laps but the changeover and refuelling effort is where the battle was won and lost.
Coming third in the 1501-1600cc class was Kamal Seebarran with 80 laps, while Clint Seebarran finished fourth with 78 laps.
In the 0-1500cc class, Selwyn Persaud (71 laps) finished ahead of Naresh Alves by three laps with the team of Reyad and Richard Hamid third and the Nexus team of Haniff Mohamed and Raymond Seebarran fourth.
In the 1601- 2000cc Rishan Ali after 81 laps completed the top spot ahead of former champion Mohamed Roshandin who fell just one lap short. Rafeeq Khan finished third.
Shan Seejattan and the Special Auto team took glory in the Unlimited class easily as he completed 82 laps with Romeo Singh finishing second and the other Ramchand Wreckers team of Anand Ramchand and Andrew King third.
New Record
Meanwhile, a new large circuit record was set Sunday by Rameez Mohamed, with a 1:17.026. Driving his Honda Civic in the unlimited class, he was able to break a record once set by Eric Vieira back in 1972.
“Well it’s a win in a way to break a record that has stood for decades; I didn’t get the result I want with the endurance but we are pretty happy with what the car is doing. It is my circuit car so there’s definitely a positive,” he said.
