With some determined driving on home ground, Paul Bourne set the fastest time in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Summer Nights Tarmac Sprint at Cliff in St John on Saturday evening (July 29) . . . but it was not all plain sailing.
While the remaining 28 competitors were tackling a practice run shortly after nightfall, Bourne’s crew members were working to discover why the Warrens Motors/Plus Subaru Impreza WRC had lost fuel pressure; a solution was found after half an hour or so, just in time for the first of three official timed runs.

Former Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion Adrian Linton is on top once again, leading the Virgin Atlantic BRC Driver’s Championship with five of the eight rounds completed. With more than 50 drivers so far having scored points, just eight points cover the four drivers at the head of the table – and all campaigning two-wheel-drive cars.

“Phenomenal doesn't quite cut it, but its close enough!” So said an elated Adrian Linton on Sunday (April 9) after claiming his first-ever overall victory in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Carnival Warm-up Tarmac Rally, second round of the Texaco BRC Rally Championship, which Linton now leads.

The Committee of Management of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) has undergone some changes as a result of its recent Annual General Meeting, held at the Barbados Clay Target Shooting Association’s clubhouse in Christ Church. Mark Hamilton, who had been serving as the BRC’s public relations officer, is the new chairman, while former competition secretary Barry Gale is vice-chairman.
