Mohamed’s enterprise strengthens GMRSC Ignite
Shazaad Manauf from Mohamed’s Enterprise hands over the sponsorship cheque to GMRSC’s office Executive Cheryl Gonzalves.
Platinum sponsor of motor racing in Guyana, Mohamed’s Enterprise has come to the rescue of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club’s (GMR&SC) Ignite race meet.
With less than 24 hours before the event, the company has swooped in to sponsor the remaining races that had previously gone unsponsored.
According to the club, the company has been an avid supporter of motor racing locally, having chipped in at crucial times in the past.
A comment from the club stated that they continually have seen unwavering support from Mohamed’s Enterprise regardless of the event, and their input this time around is unquantifiable.
A comment from the company stated that they value motor racing heavily and their support comes from their love of the sport.
Mohamed’s Enterprise is home to the Team Mohamed’s Enterprise which features the National Drag Strip recorder holder Godzilla, the Nissan GTR.

Apart from that, Mohamed’s holds the super stock lap records in Jamaica, Barbados, and Guyana as well as the circuit record for motorcycles here.
This time around, they look set to retain that title with South Dakota record holder Matt Truelove and his brother Harry aboard their Yahama R6.
The third rider is factory Suzuki rider Richard Cooper, who is aiming to reset the record set by Truelove last year.
