Attention shifts to $10M Nitro Kart Clash

All focus has now been shifted to the Jumbo Jet events sponsored Nitro Kart Clash, set for April 19 at the National Stadium, Providence Tarmac.
With over $10M on offer for winners of the various classes of action, last weekend’s Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) Kart Revival has whetted the appetite of the local karting community.
Jumbo Jet Events, the organising body, has already confirmed several eye-catching pluses to widen the pool of racers for the event.
These include free entry for all local drivers and a significant expansion of the venue to accommodate surging interest.

Fans and enthusiasts are already talking about the potential transformation of the Providence Stadium parking lot into a custom-built racing circuit for the event, featuring a redesigned track layout, increased pit capacity, spectator accommodations, and the full range of family-friendly attractions that organisers are known for delivering.
“We are seeing a level of interest that exceeded early projections,” the event’s promoter stated. “At this point, we simply have no more room – not for extended covered bleachers, not for pitting of karts, and not even for the family attractions we normally bring. We are committed to delivering a complete experience and are not prepared to compromise because of venue limitations.”
The organisers, in conjunction with GMR&SC, are pulling out all the stops to ensure a thrilling day of both kart and bike racing.
“This is bigger than one event,” the promoter added. “Karting is the entry point into motor sport. And what we are building is a pathway – one that allows new drivers to come in while also bringing back those who have been part of the sport before.”
Karting is widely recognised as the foundation of motorsport globally, serving as the training ground for drivers who progress to higher levels of competition. With Nitro Kart Klash, organisers aim to reignite the local karting scene while fostering long-term growth and talent development.
The expanded race programme will feature a wide variety of categories catering to all levels of competition. These include Briggs & Stratton sealed-engine classes for seniors, juniors (13–15), and cadets (6–12), as well as the 200cc Honda four-stroke promoters and light classes. Additional categories include 125cc IAME two-stroke (heavy and light), under-12 60cc IAME, a five-lap time attack open category, and Supermoto 250cc bike competitions.
With strong support from corporate Guyana, including Banks DIH, AJM Enterprise, KP Jagdeo General Contractors, J’s Supermarket, SCI (Sawh’s Construction Inc), Precision Service Center, and Ramchand’s Autobody, Nitro Kart Klash is poised to deliver both high-energy racing and meaningful opportunities for drivers at every level.
“This is not just about putting on a race,” the promoter emphasised. “It’s about delivering something that Guyana and the Caribbean can be proud of.”
With preparations already underway for the new circuit at Providence and infrastructure development in progress, anticipation continues to build for what is shaping up to be a landmark motorsport event.
“This is just the beginning,” the promoter added. “We are building something that will stand out not just locally but across the Caribbean.”
