Nearly 200 International competitors can benefit from the incentive programme on offer from the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) for next year’s running of the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport international, Sol Rally Barbados. On-line entries open on Saturday (October 1) on the event’s official web site, www.rallybarbados.bb.

  As competitors in the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships prepare for the ‘last lap’ of the 2011 season, very few can afford to rest on their laurels, with intense battles in more than half of the Club’s 11 classifications far from being settled.   Only two drivers have scored in all seven rounds to date, Production 4 front-runners Geoff Noel and Andrew Mallalieu; Noel retains his early advantage in the Overall Class Championship battle (based on class points standings), with 122 points, while Mallalieu is second on 97.

  Twenty-three crews have been confirmed for Sunday’s (September 11) Regional Fire & Security September Safari, round four of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) WTI MudDogs Safari Championship and Chefette MudDogs Safari Novice Championship. With recent weather patterns promising ideal conditions for the BRC’s MudDogs arm, a day of good competition is in prospect.   With crews who participate in all five Championship rounds required to drop their worst score at the end of the season, Sunday’s event could be crucial, with just the Nassco October Safari to come before the final reckoning.

Roger Skeete and Louis Venezia in the One World Group/Michelin/Simpson Motors/Da Costa Mannings Auto Centre/Virgin Atlantic Subaru Impreza WRC S12 won the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Summer Nights Tarmac Stages on Saturday (August 6). In an action-packed rain-affected event, which was led by three different crews, accidents or mechanical dramas claimed more than one-third of the 27 starters.
