Mahendra Boodhoo, President of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), has
been actively participating in the 2023 Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) General
Assemblies meeting held in Baku, Azerbaijan. President Boodhoo’s presence at this prestigious
international gathering underscores his commitment to advancing Guyana’s motorsport
landscape and exploring new opportunities for the sport’s growth and tourism enhancement.
Boodhoo arrived in Baku several days prior to the meeting to engage in discussions and
representation on behalf of Guyana’s motorsport community. His primary objective during the
FIA General Assemblies has been to explore potential collaborations and leverage various FIA
programs that can contribute to the development of motorsport locally while enhancing its
appeal to tourists.
One of the key areas of focus for Boodhoo has been fostering relationships with Central and
Latin American counterparts. Meetings with representatives from various National Sporting
Authorities (ASNs) have taken place, aimed at discussing the possibilities of cooperation
between these entities and the GMR&SC. The goal is to encourage increased foreign
participation in motorsport events at the South Dakota Circuit and explore opportunities for
potential racing series.
President Boodhoo’s dedication to promoting Guyana’s motorsport on the international stage is
emblematic of his commitment to the sport’s growth, professionalism, and global recognition.
His efforts in Baku reflect the GMR&SC’s determination to contribute to the country’s sporting
and tourism sectors positively.
