Virgin Atlantic Championship to be settled on Sunday The Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Driver’s and Class Championships will be decided on Sunday (October 13) at the double-header BRC Winter Gravel Sprint at the popular Black Bess course in St Peter.   Conor Roach and Rhett Watson are tied on 120 points at the top of the table after seven rounds although, once each driver’s lowest score is dropped – 13 and 15 respectively from Scotiabank King of the Hill – Roach edges ahead by just a couple of points.

Britain’s Rob Swann was first in line when entries for Sol Rally Barbados 2014, the Caribbean's biggest annual motor sport international, opened on the official web site - www.rallybarbados.net – on Tuesday (October 1). Returning for his seventh visit, Swann steps back up to WRC-1 with his recently-acquired ex-works Subaru Impreza WRC S11, backed by Waves Hotel and Spa Barbados and Cygnet Plant Ltd.   At Sol RB14, the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) will celebrate the 25th running of its blue riband event.

After each scored a class win in last month’s BRC Summer Nights Tarmac Sprint (August 17), Conor Roach and Rhett Watson remain at the head of the field in the hunt for the Champion Driver title in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Virgin Atlantic Championship; they are tied on 120 points at the top of the table after seven rounds.
