Nassco is sponsoring the fifth and final round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari & Safari Novice Championships, which runs off this Sunday (November 8) in the central and northern parishes. The local Toyota dealer’s support for the BRC’s off-roaders is now in its eighth consecutive year.

Managing Director Roger Hill said: “Nassco Ltd is once again delighted to be supporting the MudDogs by sponsoring the Nassco November Safari. We hope that all the teams will have a challenging but enjoyable rally and wish them the best of luck."

Modern rally cars are fine examples of how global motorsport has changed over the last 20 years. By proving technological advances in competition, rally car designers and engineers enable manufacturers to demonstrate their technical prowess ahead of new product introduction to consumers. This, of course, also maintains professional motorsport teams at the forefront of automotive technology.

David Summerbell Jnr and Sean Maloney are Champions of the Swift Cup and SR3 Cup respectively. Each left the best until last, having sat in third place going into the final double-header at Bushy Park Barbados on Saturday (October 17), as the Summer Season of the inaugural Suzuki Challenge Series came to a dramatic floodlit conclusion.

Rhett Watson yesterday (Sunday) became the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Champion Driver title for the second year in a row, with two final class wins in the double-header Winter Sprint in St Lucy. The first driver to win back-to-back titles for more than 20 years - Derek Roach was the last, in 1991-‘92 - he maintained his perfect record of class wins, but he had started the day very much on the back foot.
