Jumbo Jet Events Nitro Kart Clash 2026… Gabriel Guyadin preparing for competitive karting debut
Kaieteur Sports – The next generation of motorsport talent will be in the spotlight on March 28 and 29 when Jumbo Jet Events partners with the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) to host the Nitro Kart Clash. Among the young drivers set to compete is Gabriel Guyadin, a second-generation racer and son of Group Four competitor Gavin Guyadin. Gabriel will make his appearance in the junior karting category as he looks to begin carving out his own path in the sport.

Speaking recently with the Jumbo Jet Events team, the young driver explained that his passion for racing developed largely from watching his father compete in the GMR&SC Circuit Racing Championships at South Dakota. “I got involved mostly because of my father. He races in Group Four for Guyana, so I’ve always admired the sport,” Gabriel said. With the March 29 race day approaching, Gabriel has been putting in regular practice at the track to prepare. “I usually come to the track on weekends, from Friday to Sunday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I practice from about 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
When I go out, I try to get my tires warm as quickly as possible to get good grip, and I also focus on improving my racing lines,” he explained. Despite being new to competitive karting, Gabriel is already anticipating strong competition in the junior field. “I think William, who is Mark’s [Vieira] son, and Jayden from the Jumbo team will be very competitive,” he noted. The two-day Nitro Kart Clash event will begin with scrutineering and qualifying on March 28, starting at 10:00 hrs. Racing action will follow on March 29 from 10:00 hrs, with the gates opening to spectators at 08:00 hrs.
The event is supported by several sponsors including Banks DIH, AJM Enterprise, KP Jagdeo General Contractors, J’s Supermarket, 555 Speedway, SCI (Sawhs Construction Inc.), Precision Service Centre and Ramchands Autobody. Multiple racing categories will feature during the event. These include the Briggs and Stratton sealed engine class for Senior Heavy and Light divisions, Junior (13–15 years) and Cadet (6–12 years) classes, the 200cc Honda 4-Stroke Promoters and Light classes, 125cc IAME 2-Stroke Heavy and Light divisions, the Under-12 60cc IAME class, an Open Time Attack (5 laps), the 555 Speedway Rental Kart race, and Supermoto 250cc bikes.
