Philip McConney and Kenny Croney in their Suzuki Samurai defeated all-comers - and the elements - to claim victory in last Saturday's 4 x 4 June Safari, the second round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Ruf 'n' Tuf Navigational Championship, sponsored by Barbados Industries Ltd.
At the end of a demanding route, one section of which had to be cancelled as the hill had been rendered impassable by heavy rain, McConney and Croney had a total of 1500 penalties. Second were David Stoute and Robin Hinds, who collected 3200 penalties in their Toyota Hilux.

Preparations are well under way for the 4 x 4 June Safari, to be run by the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) on Saturday (June 26); it is the second round of the Club’s increasingly popular Ruf 'n' Tuf Navigational Championship, sponsored by Barbados Garment Industries.
This year’s June Safari will be the 47th running of the event – formerly known as the June Rally – which makes it the oldest organised motor sport event in Barbados . . . possibly even in the Caribbean.

Thanks to a 100 per cent record of Group wins in the five events staged so far, Edward Corbin is the overall leader of the 2004 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Drivers’ Championship. The title chase continues at the Vaucluse Raceway on Sunday (June 20), where the third round of the VRW RallySprint Cup is also a counter toward the BRC championship.

The Barbados Rally Club's first Tarmac Rally of the season, slated for a 9.00am start at the Vaucluse Raceway on Sunday (April 4), is being used by the organising team as a shakedown for Rally Barbados.
The event will comprise 12 stages at three venues, Orange Hill, Diamond Corner and Dark Hole, with a service halt at Vaucluse between each group of three stages; after the lunch halt, scheduled for 12.15pm, the stages will run in the reverse direction, with the finish at 4.15pm, back at Vaucluse.
