EARLY YEARS

Growing up with a family passion for racing, Lawrence distinguished herself in various competitive sports during her youth. She also built a strong reputation academically, showing early signs of the determination that would later define her racing career.

EARLY SUCCESS

Lawrence’s racing journey began with quiet but persistent excellence on the track. She quickly established herself by holding her own against veteran competitors, proving that women belonged behind the wheel just as much as men. Her technical driving skills and unwavering confidence caught the attention of fans and rivals alike. While not winning every race, her consistent performance made it clear she wasn’t just participating—she was competing at the highest levels and creating space for herself in Guyana’s racing scene[1].

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

REPUTATION

What truly sets Malicia apart is her dual identity as both competitor and advocate. When organizers hesitated to increase female involvement, she became a vocal champion for change. Every event, race, and meeting with the GMR&SC became an opportunity for her advocacy—never just about her own success, but about creating pathways for others. Her determination manifests not only in her racing but in her commitment to ensuring younger girls have opportunities she had to fight for. Lawrence has built a reputation as someone who uses her position to lift others up, reshaping the motorsports landscape in Guyana to be more inclusive and diverse[2].
