  The Barbados Rally Club, organisers of the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport International, Sol Rally Barbados (June 1/2) and next Sunday’s Scotiabank King of the Hill, today heaped praise on all concerned within the island’s Bridgetown Port for the expeditious manner in which nearly 30 International rally cars were un-loaded and cleared on Friday (May 17).

  Sol Rally Barbados 2013 (June 1/2), the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport International, promises a double dose of unforgettable action. While former UK National Champion Paul Bird will face a record field of WRC cars as he tries to win back-to-back victories, not far behind will be just as intense a battle for two-wheel-drive honours.

  While anticipation among island fans about the quality entry for Sol Rally Barbados 2013 (June 1/2) is reaching fever pitch, local competitors are concentrating on their own preparations for the most important two weekends of the year. Scotiabank King of the Hill (May 26) and Sol RB13 – each day is an individual round – offer three chances to score points towards the 10-round Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships.

  The Barbados Rally Club (BRC), organiser of Sol Rally Barbados (June 1/2), is making every effort to ensure that its blue riband event does not impact negatively on anyone in the island, be they resident, competitor, spectator or tourist . . . and particularly those who may not be motor sport fans.   For the third year, the Club has worked in association with AccuNav Ltd to provide gps support – using John Mann’s BajanNav, the gps map of Barbados – to create comprehensive files of information for everyone involved.
