This weekend’s opening round of the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC) 2026 National Championships will see a unique combination of Jamaican driver Tommi Gore and the hyper-successful J’s brand.
Known for their recent dominance in the horse racing arena as the J’s Racing Stable, the team is looking to replicate that success with their foray into motorsport, and if their track record is anything to go by, it won’t be long before they climb the podium steps.
This weekend brings a new challenge for the team, especially with Jamaican race ace Tommi Gore set to take the wheel of one Guyana Team’s KTM X-Bow.
Gore said, “(I am) looking forward to being back competing with the One Guyana team. I got the call just this week to ask if I could make it to drive the J’s Supermarket KTM in Group Four. I’m looking forward to driving against a new set of competitors, as well as getting some more track time ahead of the November 1 Guyana Grand Prix. And most importantly, putting on a show for the patrons coming out to support this event.”
With the excitement set to unfold this weekend, J’s Supermarket owner Jermaine Sripal has sized up his chances.
“We are very confident in the car. It’s a group four race, and we have some serious contenders. We have Rameez (Mohamed and the BM Soat/Prem’s Electrical KTM X-Bow) that has almost double the horsepower of our car, but we are still very confident and hoping for some good results.”
“Just like our racing stables, it’s always important to have a great team around us to make things go well, and I think we have a great team around us for this weekend, especially with the introduction of Tommi (Gore),” Sripal said.
Meanwhile, admission for the championship round has been set at G$4,000 for adults and G$2,000 for children.
The 2026 championship is supported by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, One Guyana, GuyOil, ENet, KFC, Tropical Shipping and Castrol.
