The silence at the South Dakota Circuit was shattered last Sunday as the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) officially launched its 2026 competitive season. In a landmark opening round of the Endurance Championship, Chris Lall and the duo of Matthew Vieira and Christopher Brijmohan stood out amidst a large field of competitors, marking a triumphant start to the national racing calendar.
The event, which featured the high-stakes Dakota 100 car race and a gruelling bike endurance battle, drew a significant turnout, highlighting the growing popularity of the sport. Race Director Phillip Parag confirmed that over 50 competitors took to the grid, with 34 cars and 12 bikes testing both mechanical reliability and physical endurance.
In the headline car event, Chris Lall delivered a masterclass in endurance racing, navigating the demanding 100-lap distance with clinical precision to secure overall victory, while also clinching top honours in the 1600cc category. His performance set the tone for a season expected to be one of the most competitive in recent memory.
Action was equally intense across the other car classes. In the Unlimited Class, the pair Kamal and Shane Seebarran executed a superior strategy to take the win. Mark Williams continued his streak of consistency by securing the 2000cc class, while the highly competitive 1500cc category saw impressive efforts from Zackary Persaud and Ryan Rahaman.
The bike endurance segment delivered its own high-octane drama. Twelve riders faced a punishing 30-lap race that demanded flawless coordination and stamina. Matthew Vieira and his teammate Christopher Brijmohan emerged as the class of the field, working in tandem to outlast their rivals and claim a hard-fought victory, establishing themselves as early favourites in the two-wheel championship standings.
With a packed grid, Race Director Phillip Parag expressed satisfaction with the day’s proceedings. He noted that the participation of more than 50 competitors at the season opener is a testament to the club’s efforts to revitalise endurance racing in Guyana. Strong engagement in both the car and bike categories provides a solid foundation for the championship as it heads into the second round.
