For the front-runners battling for the prestigious Champion Driver title in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2012 Virgin Atlantic Championship, it is all hands on deck for Sunday’s (September 23) BRC Autumn Gravel Sprint, a double-header at the popular Black Bess course in the northern parish of St Peter.   At a time of year when some classes are not fully-subscribed, resulting in a lower points haul for those competitors who do turn out, ensuring the minimum three starters is vital for those who stand a chance of claiming the big prize . . .

With three rounds to run in the 2012 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships, the chase for the Champion Driver title is far from over.
