Entries continue to climb for Platinum Auto Expo

As entries continue to flow in, organisers of Platinum Auto Expo are expecting a huge turnout as preparations intensify for the August 5 event at the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), Thomas Lands.
The Expo, which has been absent from the calendar of entertainment events, for some time is anticipated to see intense rivalry among competitors in all 27 categories.
Organiser Mahendra Boodhoo, speaking recently, said the event was expected to attract some of the best vehicles in terms of glitz and glamour, while those with the fancy lights, shining rims and cleanest sound systems will all have the opportunity to win prizes.
Boodhoo, a former racer and President of the GMR&SC, noted that the occasion was one whereby families could come out and enjoy a day of fun, while the occasion also presented an opportunity for those with a deep appreciation for excellent-looking vehicles and those who just love to compete in such competitions.
He added that the Expo was open to all and over $1 million in cash prizes and trophies would be up for grabs for winners in the respective categories.
Boodhoo said competitors were currently working feverishly to excite the fans, with thorough preparations.
Among the categories to be contested are: Best Antique Bike, Mini Extreme Face Out Cars, Best Rims, Best Graphic Bus and Car, Cleanest SUV, Best Technician, and Biggest Bike.
Additionally, Boodhoo disclosed that fans would be entertained throughout the day with displays set to commence at 14:00h, while gates will be open from 12:00h.
