The start of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) loose season, slated for this Sunday, July 25, has been postponed. A combination of the recent bad weather and the amount of repair work necessary to prepare the courses for competition has forced the 11th-hour decision.
A new date for this event will be announced once agreement has been reached between the BRC and the Barbados Motoring Federation, which controls the island’s motor sport calendar.

The winning crews from the previous two years head the provisional entry list for Saturday's 4 x 4 June Safari, the second round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) increasingly popular Ruf 'n' Tuf Navigational Championship, sponsored by Barbados Industries Ltd.

The tough reputation earned over more than 50 years by the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) longest-standing event looks set to be maintained when the Shelbury Construction June Safari runs off over the weekend of June 28/29. The second round of the 2008 BRC Mud Dogs Safari Championship - the season’s most important navigational event - promises once again to challenge man and machine, in much the same way as ‘The June Rally’ has done every year since 1957.

Paul Bourne carries start number 1 for the Barbados Rally Club's (BRC) first Tarmac Rally of the season, which starts at 9.00am on Sunday (April 4) at the Vaucluse Raceway. The winner of last year's event, he faces a strong challenge from three of the island's front-runners.
The Banks/Havoline/Williams Industries/Pirelli Subaru Impreza WRC, with co-driver Luis Venezia, will be chased off the line by Roger Skeete and Dave Crawford (M9 Havoline/Michelin/McEnearney Quality Ford Escort WRC), who missed last year's event, waiting on spare parts.
