The Sysco LABS Motorsports Team delivered strong performances across two major karting events in early 2026, reinforcing its growing presence in Sri Lanka’s competitive motorsports arena.

At the YES101 Grand Prix held at SpeedBay Port City, the team clinched first place in the Amateur Category, competing among more than 100 participants. The victory followed dominant heat performances, and two podium finishes in the finals.

Building on that success, the team secured 1st Runner-Up in the Senior Category and 2nd Runner-Up in the Master Category at SPEEDSTAR Championship Round 1 on 6 February. The event, designed for emerging drivers, highlighted the rapid development of new talent within the Sysco LABS Motorsports Club.
