Team GR 324 launch signals start of Guyadin’s racing journey

A new chapter in local motor racing unfolded on Tuesday afternoon as junior kart racer Gabriel Guyadin officially launched his racing team, marking a significant milestone in his budding career.
The event, held at the 555 Speedway, Thomas Lands, Georgetown, brought together supporters, sponsors, and members of the sporting community to witness the unveiling of Team GR 324. The launch signals Guyadin’s transition into competitive club karting after years of preparation across multiple racing formats.
In an emotional and determined address, Guyadin described the journey leading up to this moment as both challenging and rewarding.

“The anticipation leading up to my team launching and karting debut has been a mix of nerves and pure excitement,” he said. “Transitioning from sim racing to E-karting in Long Island and Miami, then to rental karting in Guyana, and now stepping up to club karting – this is a major milestone in my racing career.”
He emphasised the physical and mental demands of the sport, noting that each moment on the track carries immense pressure. However, he credited his team for helping to ease that burden.
“Every second of practice feels like the weight of the world is on my back, but thanks to my team, I know it’s not as heavy as before,” Guyadin added. “This debut is about gaining experience, building a strong foundation, and proving that I have the discipline to compete at the highest level.”

Also speaking at the launch was Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, who highlighted the importance of early investment in motorsport talent. He acknowledged the financial challenges associated with the sport while pledging institutional support.
“Motor racing is not a cheap sport, and initiatives like this send a strong message for others to get involved early,” Ninvalle said. “From the National Sports Commission, we are committed to working with this young athlete to ensure he reaches his full potential.”
The launch was made possible through the support of several sponsors, including Frames Optical, Brand IT, Icon Guyana, JCB, GRB, Monarch Industries, Lincoln Electric, and People’s Beauty Products.
With the roar of engines and the intensity of competition ahead, Guyadin now looks towards his first race with confidence and determination. While results remain a future goal, his immediate focus is clear – gain experience, prove his pace, and establish himself in the competitive karting arena.
The debut of Team GR 324 not only marks the beginning of Guyadin’s season, but also signals the rise of a promising talent in Guyana’s motorsport landscape.
