BRC DOUBLE-HEADER WINTER SPRINT ON SUNDAY

Read returns to Rally Club action; Esuf makes his rallying debut

While those drivers who have their eye on the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2019 Champion Driver title will be concentrating on maximising their points score in Sunday’s (September 29) double-header BRC Winter Sprint, there is little doubt that the focus of the island’s fan base will be on the return of Josh Read in his Toyota Starlet. The running order published today (Friday) lists 33 drivers, headed by Sol Rally Barbados 2019 winner Dane Skeete in his Subaru Impreza WRC S12B.

READ LEADS BARBADOS RALLY CLUB TITLE CHASE

Dropped scores and August ‘bonus’ will play their part

As competitors enjoy the summer break before their next event at the end of the month (August 27), the battle for the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Driver’s and Class Championships is shaping up nicely. With five of eight rounds run, the top five in the Champion Driver standings are covered by just 14 points, a total which falls to nine - and includes some different names - if dropped scores are considered, while the extra points on offer in the next event will add further spice to the title fight.
