More than 70 members of the island’s motor sport fraternity were honoured at the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Annual Prizegiving on Saturday evening (November 12) at Mahogany Ridge, St Thomas; awards included return tickets to the UK and ‘staycation’ weekends at Seafoam Haciendas, presented by Rachel Pilgrim of Virgin Atlantic, title sponsor of the BRC Driver’s and Class Championships.

  Sean Gill prevailed over Trevor Manning in Sunday’s (October 30) final round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships, the BRC Winter Gravel Rally at the Black Bess Plantation in St Peter; after a day-long battle during which they were never separated by more than three seconds, the event was won on the final stage, the winning margin 1.44secs.

  Following its successful return after some years’ absence to the Black Bess Plantation in St Peter for the Autumn Gravel Sprint at the beginning of the month, the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) will host the final round of this year’s Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships at the same venue on Sunday, October 30.   The BRC Winter Gravel Rally will comprise eight stages, four in one direction, followed by a one-hour lunch break, then four in the opposite direction; competitors are required to arrive for scrutineering before 8.00am.

  All the key players battling for supremacy in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) WTI MudDogs Safari Championship and Chefette MudDogs Safari Novice Championship are entered for Sunday’s (October 16) Nassco October Safari, so a thrilling climax to the season is in prospect.   With three new names on the entry list, to add to those who have already competed this year, the BRC’s off-road arm is also celebrating another successful season. MudDogs Chairman Warren Gollop says: “It hardly seems possibly that we have reached the end of another season, but here we are!
