All activities of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) were suspended by the National COVID-19 Task Force on Sunday evening until further notice following a breach of agreement.
During round one of the Drag Race Championship on Sunday at the South Dakota Circuit, in excess of 3000 fans thronged the venue, a direct violation of the agreement between the Task Force and the club.
The club was granted conditional approval by the Task Force to host the event and it was agreed between the bodies that no more than 1,500 persons, inclusive of participants and spectators, would be permitted entry. However, that was not the case as thousands more than the agreed attendance, showed up and were permitted to enter the venue. According to Director of the Task Force, Colonel Nazrul Hussain, the GMR&SC was in breach of the agreement.
