An influx of four-wheel-drive cars from Britain promises to make Sol Rally Barbados 2008 on May 31/June 1 one of the most competitive in the 18-year history of the Barbados Rally Club's (BRC) premier event. With the provisional entry list scheduled for publication on Monday, May 12, the Club has already intimated that approaching one-third of the near-capacity entry will run in the top Groups.

The Barbados Rally Club (BRC) and the Sol Group, the Caribbean’s largest independent oil company, have confirmed a three-year agreement, which will see them work closely together to expand the Club’s premier annual event - it will now be known as Sol Rally Barbados - and to promote it even more vigorously, both in the region and worldwide.

In his short career – he was born the same year Bjorn Waldegard became World Rally Champion – Kris Meeke has won three British titles and been a title-contender in the Junior World Rally Championship, mentored by former Champion, the late Colin McRae.
