Mahendra Boodhoo seeks re-election to helm of GMR&SC

President of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sport Club (GMR&SC), Mahendra “Raj” Boodhoo, recently announced his intention to seek re-election as President of the motor racing body. The elections are expected to be held by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Over the years, motor racing has evolved under the stewardship of Boodhoo, with the most recent success being the franchise to host the historic GT Challenge of the Americas in July.
He was recently named Guyana’s official representative to the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), giving the country a voice at the highest table of motorsport. His commitment to international standards was proven again in 2025 when the GMR&SC was granted the prestigious One-Star FIA Environmental Accreditation, a milestone that proves we are ready to compete with the world’s best.
Through a three-year diplomatic mission alongside Mark Vieira and Luis Kumar, the incumbent President successfully negotiated with regional giants to bring Porsches, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis to Guyanese soil.
Building a sport for everyone, he has ensured the sport is open to all, including the participation of women in motorsport. He championed the initiative that broke down barriers, and to date, female drivers are not only competing but also dominating the tracks.
In addition, he has invested in the future with the karting facility and the Vitz Cup Championship, creating a path for the next generation of champions and thus involving the grassroots racers.
Further, his accomplishments include the launch of the Time Attack Series, creating an exciting new platform for both professional racers and passionate enthusiasts to test their limits.
It is on this outstanding track record that he is seeking re-election so that he can continue to secure full FIA certification and build a world-class drag strip.
