Rally

Jeffrey Panton and Mike Fennell Jnr (Rubis / Sandals/ KIG Ford Focus WRC06) won yesterday’s (Saturday) Carter’s Pit Stop / Power King Batteries Summer Sun & Stars Rally . . . with Rain an extra challenge. Variable weather conditions made the 12-stage event tough going, with a high attrition rate accounting for many fancied 2wd front-runners and reducing the overall finishers list to just 12 of the original 28 starters.

Jamaica’s Jeffrey Panton (Rubis / Sandals / KIG Ford Focus WRC06) is top seed for tomorrow’s (Saturday) Carter’s Pit Stop / Power King Batteries Summer Sun & Stars Rally, heading an entry list of nearly 30 for the combined Barbados Rally Club (BRC) and Motoring Club (MCBI) event. A further 10 cars will run ahead of the main field in the Barbados Historic Rally, organised by the Vaucluse Raceway Motor Sport Club (VR-MSC).
