Many an internet forum argument will be settled – and a few more started, no doubt - when the island’s four leading car and driver combinations go head-to-head on Sunday (October 18) in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Autumn Gravel Stages, penultimate round of the Virgin Atlantic BRC Driver’s and Class Championships.

Faced with four points-scoring chances in five weekends, competitors in the 2009 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships are heading for a high-pressure end to the season. With eight of the 12 rounds run, the final reckoning is just over the horizon, with dropped scores yet to play a part in what has proved to be one of the Club’s most successful seasons, with more than 70 drivers scoring Championship points.

After a three-month break since the June Safari, competitors in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Mud Dogs Safari Championship rejoin battle this Sunday (September 13) in the Regional Fire & Security September Safari. Round three of the four-round championship is slated to start at 8:01am from Automotive Art, Welches . . . and it will start in fine style, too, with a driver challenge on the adjacent land.

Spectators who make their way to the north of the island on Saturday evening (July 25) will enjoy a motor sport treat at the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Summer Nights Tarmac Sprint. The capacity entry further reaffirms the support that motor sport is currently enjoying, despite the challenging economic climate . . . and five drivers on the list have not yet joined the more than 70 who have already scored points this season.
