Just 3.5 seconds covered the top four in a close-fought finish to the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) first event of the new season, Saturday’s (Feb 14) night-time Tarmac Hill Sprint from Mapps in St Philip to Stewart Hill. While it is rare for the BRC to run a speed event in darkness, the format appealed to spectators, many hundreds of whom lined the 4.5-kilometre course for their first taste of action in 2004.

Front-running rally driver Roger Mayers and father Stephen dominated the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 4 x 4 Safari on Saturday (November 22), beating the opposition – and some tough conditions – to claim their second off-road event of the year; they had won the opening event of the season in March.

The Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2003 Drivers’ Championship reached an action-packed conclusion in Sunday’s (November 16) Loose Stages Rally, won by Roger Mayers and Max Ferri in the Automotive Art/Shell Helix Ford Focus WRC.
In a day full of incident, there were strong performances throughout the field as drivers grasped their final chance of the year to score championship points.

An estimated 2,000 spectators assembled at the Black Bess Plantation in St Peter on Sunday (September 28) to witness Roger Mayers win the first loose event of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) season in the Automotive Art/Shell Helix Ford Focus.
