Boodhoo returns as GMR&SC President

Mahendra Boodhoo will again lead the same Executive Committee of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), having been re-elected to office on the evening of Tuesday, January 10, 2023, when the GMR&SC hosted their Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Boodhoo and his slate ran unopposed, and as such were re-elected for another year at the helm of the premier motor-racing club in Guyana.
Aside from Boodhoo being elected as President, Mohamad Shairaz Roshandin has been returned as Vice President; Azim Jaffar as Secretary; Chetram Singh as Treasurer; Azaad Hassan as Assistant Secretary/Treasurer; Rameez Mohamed as Captain, and Joel Evans as Technical Adviser.
Committee Members Mark Vieira, Gavin Guyadin, Roshan Ali and John Chin have also all been returned.
In a comment invited by Guyana Times Sport following Tuesday’s election, Boodhoo expressed elation at he and his executive being given license to now go ahead with their development plan for the next year or so.
Detailing some of those plans, Boodhoo said, “In 2023, we plan to continue our expansion programme that we’ve started, and we’re looking to develop the safety around the circuit for circuit racing, and we’re also looking to develop other aspects of motor sport in Guyana.”
He also disclosed, “For drag racing, we’re looking to get a world class drag strip, so we can set records and have foreign participants that can set records in this part of the world.”
Asked about the GMR&SC’s 2023 calendar containing 9 events, which has already been released, Boodhoo revealed that 99% of the planning for those events are completed, but he said the early notice was done to facilitate foreign competitors.
“That is the reason why we sent it out early. We have a lot of foreigners that participate, so we want them to be able to buy tickets early, get hotels and everything in place for accommodation,” Boodhoo explained.
Of the 9 events that the GMR&SC have planned for 2023, two are international Drag Racing and Circuit Racing series, to be held in August and November respectively.
