A record number of overseas crews are making last-minute preparations for Sunday’s (May 24) LIME King of the Hill, the final shakedown ahead of the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport International, Sol Rally Barbados 2015 (May 29-31), at which the Barbados Rally Club is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of its premier event.

With two race wins apiece, Ryan Peyrau (Trinidad & Tobago) and Stuart Maloney (Barbados) are the new leaders of the Swift Cup and SR3 Cup, following yesterday’s (May 17) second round of the Suzuki Challenge Series at Bushy Park Barbados. The Swift Cup has now risen to a 12-car grid, while both entry lists included new names.

A world record-breaking two-ton drag racing truck, the return of a three-time Bushy Park Champion Driver and the Suzuki Challenge Series debut of one of the region’s most decorated race and rally champions are just some of the ingredients that make this weekend’s (May 16/17) Bushy Park Barbados fixture a must-see event.

Mark Thompson and Sean Maloney head into the second round of the exciting new Suzuki Challenge Series at Bushy Park Barbados next weekend (May 16/17), looking to extend their early-season advantage in the Swift Cup and SR3 Cup respectively. But they cannot expect it to be easy-going, with an expanded Swift Sport grid and nearly everyone more at one with their cars following the season-opener in March.
