Superbikes have to be seen to be believed.
They look so fast on television, but with your own eyes the experience is incredible.
Watch the bikers swap places at close to 200mph during two days of action packed, high-speed, two-wheel racing on the fastest circuit in Guyana this weekend.
With just three days to go for the conclusion of the finale of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championships (CMRC) at the South Dakota Circuit, the anticipation is heating up.
Add in 2016 MotoAmerica Superstock 600 Championship winner Bryce Prince, and British super bike specialist, Mike Truelove and the thermometer goes way up.
The pair who touched down in Guyana recently will be going wheel to wheel with Guyana’s ‘Big Three’, Stephen ‘Valentino Rossi’ Vieira and Matthew and Elliott Vieira, along with Super Bike King’ Kevin Graham of Canada, Jamaica’s Norman Chung along with the Trinidadian pair, Keil Abraham and Luke DeNobrega.
While the spotlight is on the drivers in the Group 4 category who are competing for the Caribbean Championship, the heavily subscribed super bike races can steal the show since it will be arguably the hottest in years.
President of the GMR&SC, Mahendra Boodhoo recently noted that the Super Bike races are must see events.” He added that an entertaining day of thrills, speed and excitement awaits. Boodhoo also noted that the club is “making it better for our fans and spectators to have better viewing as the local racers look to defend home turf.”
Stephen and Elliott will be throttling their Kawasaki ZX6R’s while Matthew will be astride his Yamaha R6.
Graham, DeNobrega and Abraham are also expected to push their R6s to the limit.
Come race day, motor racing fans will see some of the fastest machines in the Region, but the riders are not about fun and games. Reality forces perspective and despite their innocuous exterior, the built for speed machines and the racers will invade the circuit with one game plan; to win as fast as possible.
GTT, ANSA McAL and Fly Jamaica are some of the major sponsors for the mega event.
Tickets cost $2000..
