James Emson and son Tom won the Caterham Seven 270R title, Tom Cockerill and Taylor O’Flanagan prevailed in 310R, while Barry Benham and Stephen Lyall were the rather surprised winners of 420R.

Leslie Alleyne and Chris O’Neal won Sunday’s (November 19) Old Brigand Rum November Safari, the final round the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2023 Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship in their Pod Store/Maxxis/Lucky Locks Suzuki Jimny.

The Williams Motorsport team of Toby Ballard, Rrutuj Patki and Henry Williams are heading to race at Bushy Park Barbados for the first time buoyed by victory in last weekend’s (November 10-12) annual Race of Remembrance at the Anglesey Circuit in north Wales in a Caterham 270R. The British trio beat the similar DBR Racing Caterham to the chequered flag by just 50 seconds after 12 hours of racing.

Daniel Ullyett is the Sectus Technologies Barbados Karting Association’s (BKA) 2023 Champion Driver, adding a third overall title to those he won in 2020 and ’21 and a first in the 100cc Easykart Juniors class.
