Having slipped to fourth place mid-morning, reigning Champions Paul Bourne and Stuart Maloney fought back for a fourth win in this year’s Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Rally Championship on Sunday (October 19) in the Banks/Texaco/B-Mobile/Pirelli/New-Tech Subaru Impreza WRC S9.

Three victories in the first four rounds of the 2008 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Rally Championship have given reigning Champion Paul Bourne a seven-point advantage, as competitors prepare for the season's penultimate event, Sunday's (October 19) BRC Gravel Rally.
Slated to start at 8.30am from the Searles Factory Yard in Christ Church, the event promises eight loose-surface stages, with four run in each direction, before the entire field heads for the grounds of the Sir Garfield Sobers Gymnasium, where the 2008 Barbados Motor Show will have reached its final day.

Nearly 30 crews are listed on the final entry for this Sunday’s (September 21) Regional Fire & Security September Safari, round three of the 2008 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Mud Dogs Safari Championship.
With all the front-running championship contenders entered, headed by joint leaders Anna-Lee and Leslie Alleyne and Neil Barnard and Barry Gale, and the current weather conditions guaranteed to create some difficult terrain, it promises to be a tough and hard-fought event.

At year-end, drivers will drop their worst score from each of the Rally and Sprint series to arrive at their points total in the RallySport Championship – as all involved enjoy the mid-season break, the picture looks like this:
