Rally

  As the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2013 season kicks up a gear with the Valvoline Rally on Sunday (April 28), fans are promised a weekend of action. A field of nearly 40 cars will tackle 10 stages at two venues in the north of the island, while fans can mix with competitors at Scrutineering tomorrow (Saturday) at Automotive Art, Welches.

  Trevor ‘Micey’ Manning is back! A former winner of the island’s premier event, popular with fans for his flamboyant driving style, he will compete in Sol Rally Barbados for the first time since 2009 . . . he replaces the injured Logan Watson in his BMW M3, nick-named ‘Crackers’, a rear-wheel-drive car that ideally suits Manning’s persona.

  Scotiabank is the new sole title sponsor of King of the Hill, the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) final key event run in association with Sol Rally Barbados 2013, the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport International. The deal was confirmed during a press briefing this morning (Friday, April 19) at the CGI Building in Warrens, St Michael.   Scheduled for Sunday, May 26, the weekend before Sol RB13, Scotiabank King of the Hill plays a vital role in the build-up to Sol RB13.
