In line with many other elements of the Barbados Rally Club’s 20th Anniversary running of its inaugural International All-Stage Rally, the official Sol Rally Barbados 2010 web site – www.rallybarbados.bb - has been refreshed. The new-look site went ‘live’ on Wednesday (May 5), a timely re-launch less than four weeks before the event itself . . . and just in time for the anticipated ‘spike’ in internet traffic.

By the end of May, the 2010 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships will have passed their half-way point. With four rounds run to date, some patterns are already emerging . . . and, with three more to run off at Shell V-Power King of the Hill and Sol Rally Barbados – each day is a separate round – island competitors are preparing for the high-pressure highlight of their season.

Roger Skeete continued his winning ways on tarmac with a decisive victory in Sunday’s (April 25) Automotive Art Shakedown Stages, which provided a dramatic preview for next month’s Sol Rally Barbados. Among the stars of the day was Josh Read, an impressive fifth overall among five two-wheel-drive cars to finish in the top 10.
