The Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMRSC) has officially endorsed His Excellency Dr. Irfaan Ali for a second term as President of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. This endorsement underscores the Club’s appreciation for the President’s unwavering commitment to sports, particularly motorsport.
Among Dr. Ali’s significant promises during his 2020 campaign was the pledge to support the expansion and modernization of the South Dakota Circuit. This promise has been fulfilled, as the circuit has now been extended to an international length of 1.6 miles, enabling it to host regional and international racing events.
With direct support from President Ali’s administration, access roads leading to the facility have also been newly paved, enhancing accessibility for fans, officials, and competitors. Furthermore, construction is underway for a new grass spectator mound, aimed at improving the viewing experience and solidifying the circuit’s status as a premier motorsport venue in the Caribbean.
President Ali’s government has demonstrated a long-term vision for the growth of motorsport in Guyana, recognizing the high costs associated with developing this sport. His administration’s phased approach to infrastructure improvements aims to elevate Guyana to the international motorsport stage.
Over the past five years, President Ali has also significantly increased national sports investment, allocating over G$21.6 billion across various disciplines. His belief in the role of sports as an economic engine and source of national pride is evident through his participation in events like the GMR&SC International Race Meet and his public statements on sports development.
The GMRSC is confident that under President Ali’s continued leadership, both the motorsport community and all of Guyana’s sporting sectors will experience sustained progress and opportunities. For these reasons, the GMRSC stands firmly in support of President Irfaan Ali’s bid for a second term.
