The Barbados Rally Club (BRC) has confirmed its competition calendar for 2009, following the first meeting of its Committee of Management for the New Year. The CoM has also announced a revised championship structure for rally and sprint events, after considering feedback from Members following changes in 2008.
The Club will organise three primary championships in 2009:
+ the Virgin Atlantic BRC Driver’s Championship – as in 2008 (when it was titled the Virgin Atlantic BRC RallySport Championship), this will be based on overall results in the 12 qualifying rounds

With more than three months to go before the official closing date of Friday, May 1, the organizer of Sol Rally Barbados 2009, the Barbados Rally Club (BRC), is receiving a steady flow of entries through its web site (www.rallybarbados.bb); the current count is just short of 30, with no fewer than 10 of those entered in the four-wheel-drive classes.

Steve Perez is the first confirmed European entry for Sol Rally Barbados 2009 . . . and the 2004 UK National Rally Champion is a man on a mission. After missing a top-three slot for the third year in a row in 2008, he said: “We’ll just have to come back and by-pass the podium - I'm going all out to win!"

Five months ahead of the 20th running of its premier event, the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) has stepped up its European promotion of Sol Rally Barbados 2009, coinciding with the broadcast this week of British production company Acceleration TV’s coverage of the 2008 action on the popular Europe-wide satellite station Motors TV.
