Team AJM’s Porsche GT3, driven by 20-year-old Will Redford of Britain, dominated the GT3 Spec Class at the November 2 Caribbean Clash of Champions at the South Dakota Circuit, and with this success, businessman Nasrudeen Mohamed’s eyes are now set on purchasing another machine in time for the April 2026 showdown.
This is the first year the Guyana Motor Racing & Sports Club (GMRSC) has introduced the GT3 category of racing aimed at revolutionising regional motorsport, and it has done so.
Redford, who has never driven a GT3, proved that his experience as a Radical driver pays off. In fact, Mohamed stated that it was the best choice to have him drive the car on race day.

“We are excited that Will showed his versatility; taking into consideration he has never driven one of these cars, his experience as a Radical driver was all we needed…”
He added that it was a last-minute decision to fly in Redford to drive since he was not too comfortable at this time transitioning from a Group Two driver to a GT3 driver. “The team spoke, and after consulting with Terry, our lead mechanic, it was decided to let Will race… I was not ready to drive the car due to safety reasons coming from Groups Two to Four… I was a little concerned.”
Nevertheless, he added that the team is excited to have won three in three on race day and further stated that giving the foreign driver the opportunity to race on the Guyana track is setting him up for bigger things in his own country and here in Guyana.
“Will will return with us next year… and by then we should have a new GT3, and I think I will be more confident to drive alongside the other competitors in this class… in the meantime, I am using the simulator at home in preparation for race day in April.”
Nonetheless, he noted that the absence of Franklyn Boodram at the November 2 meeting was unfortunate, but he is sure that he will be here in April 2026. Mohamed admitted that Team AJM was looking forward to racing against both Vieira and Boodram, adding that both of their vehicles are more advanced than theirs.
“But before April, my team and I are ready and willing to travel to Trinidad for their motorsport events once we are invited… It’s all about competition, and Team AJM will remain competitive in the motorsport area for a long time… it is all about investing in your team and getting the best to get the job done…”
Mohamed also related that the team will continue to have two cars in the rookie category, which he noted will be used to groom the young drivers to handle faster machines. “We will always keep two cars in that category… we want the young drivers to grasp the skills so that they can move on to drive faster cars… it is all about the skills, mindset, investments, and giving them the opportunity to shine.” He added that while the South Dakota Circuit might not be as smooth as the international racetracks, it is one of the best in the Caribbean.
As such, he too was happy to hear that the facility will strictly be used for motor racing and no other purposes. This, he noted, will be a game changer – one that will give the drivers and riders more time to practise not only during racing periods but all year round.
When asked about his intention to have a rider on the track as well, Mohamed noted that it is all in the making. He expressed gratitude to his team and partners – Jumbo Jet and SVC Racing – for their hard work and support in making his dream come true.
