The Best Motor Sports In Grenada Currently

Drag racing, karting and rally racing are the most popular motor sports in Grenada. Drag racing especially draws the crowds, with many events being held regularly. Drag racing involves two modified vehicles racing head to head on a 1/4 mile race track. The cars are usually modified to enable them to get to a high speed quickly. In some cases the vehicles are regular ones seen on the road, just modified. In other cases, they’re the specially created “funny cars” specifically for drag racing. In Grenada, drag races are sometimes held in places like old runways, where folks in the community meet just to race.You can find a quick rundown here

Rally racing, or rallying, is racing that can take place on either private or public roads with generally road legal cars. The cars “rally” from point to point, leaving at one point and allowing the next car to come in. Rallies can be won solely on speed, but they can also be won by taking a certain time between each stage.

Karting is a race that utilizes go karts, or small, four-wheeled vehicles with an open top. The karts are often built by the participants as well. Karts can reach high speeds, but the speed varies widely. Part of the amusement is derived from building one’s own kart and competing with it.

Motor sports in Grenada have become exceedingly popular in recent years, and there are some large drag events that are held at various times during the year. But a lot of the popularity is community based as well. Drag racing, as previously mentioned, is most popular, but also rally racing. Karting is popular just about anywhere, but in Grenada it takes on a whole new life as the Grenada Karting Association holds regular meets with strong participation from neighboring islands.
