Victory in Sunday’s (March 16) opening round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship, the March Safari, has given reigning Champion Driver Leslie Alleyne and Navigator Chris O’Neal a perfect start to their title defence . . . but it was not plain sailing, even for such an experienced crew.

Motor racing across the Caribbean is anticipated to experience a more professional setup following a recent arrangement which saw the creation of the Caribbean Motor Racing Association (CMRA).

A look at the rule book was necessary to settle a dead heat in a very competitive opening round of the new Barbados Rally Club Ruf ’n’ Tuf Navigational Championship on Saturday (March 13). Just 200 penalty points covered the top four finishers after the 160-kilometre event, the leading two crews reaching the finish on the same penalty score of 300.

Reigning Champion Driver Leslie Alleyne and Navigator Chris O’Neal begin their title defence this Sunday (March 16) when the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari and Safari Novice Championships kick off for the 2014 season with the March Safari.
