Island motor sport enthusiasts of all generations are mourning the loss of Brigid ‘Biddy’ Barber, who passed away at home yesterday (Tuesday) aged 75.

Stuart Maloney drew closer to a second Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion Driver title on Sunday (August 25), winning both directions of the BRC Summer Sprint.
