As a watershed season of island motor sport gathers momentum, the National Sporting Authority, the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF), has launched a ground-breaking operational and safety training programme. With local volunteers now accredited to deliver bespoke courses, the BMF will be training not only its marshals, but also its senior officials and – for the first time in a decade – its competition licence-holders.

Just three weeks since they saw action in the opening round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari and Safari Novice Championships, crews are making final preparations for this Sunday’s (April 6) Chefette April Safari . . . and reigning Champion Driver Leslie Alleyne and Navigator Chris O’Neal will be hoping to continue where they left off last month, winners once again.

The Barbados Rally Club (BRC) has stepped up its worldwide promotion of Sol Rally Barbados 2014 by joining forces with event organisers on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In association with the island’s private-sector Tourism Development Corporation (TDC), the Club is offering three motor sport volunteers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport international.
