Endurance Takes Center Stage — Round 2 of the Dakota 100 Set for May 18

The second round of the Dakota 100 Endurance Championship is set for this Sunday, May 18, at the South Dakota Circuit. It promises an exciting blend of speed, strategy, and stamina across a full day of racing action. Hosted by the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMRSC), the event remains free for all fans, with racing beginning promptly at 11:00 a.m.

Traditionally seen as an event for hardcore motorsport enthusiasts, the endurance race has long stood as a test of a driver’s focus, mechanical reliability, and pit strategy over extended periods. The 100-lap feature, which lasts an average of 2.5 hours, is the ultimate challenge in local circuit racing. But now, GMRSC is working to broaden its appeal.

“We want fans and aspiring competitors to come out and see what endurance racing is all about,” said a GMRSC executive. “It’s not just about raw speed; you need discipline, teamwork, and pushing both driver and machine to their limits.”

The day begins with a 15-lap team bike race, featuring the best riders teaming up to conquer the circuit with speed and precision. Adding to the excitement is a 20-lap sprint for the Vitz Cup Championship, the fastest-growing racing class in the country. Known for its tightly contested battles and level playing field, the Vitz Cup continues to capture the attention of fans and newcomers alike.

As interest in circuit racing grows, GMRSC encourages the public to experience the full spectrum of motorsport, from sprint formats to endurance battles.
