International Rally Drivers Club supports Sol RB17

The Barbados Rally Club (BRC) will kick off a new campaign to attract more overseas spectators to its premier event, Sol Rally Barbados, at Europe's largest motor sport show, Autosport International (ASI). Supported by the island’s Tourism Development Corporation (TDC), the Club has partnered with tour specialists Rally Travel to offer Official Spectator Packages for 2017, which will be launched at ASI (January 12-15), where Sol RB will exhibit for the first time.

Annual Prizegiving set for January

Following the conclusion of the competition season last month, just before the island’s 50th Anniversary of Independence celebrations moved into high gear, the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) today confirms its list of Champions for 2016, along with the leading points-scorers across all disciplines. With such a busy calendar during Independence and the Festive Season, the Annual Prizegiving will be held in January 2017, moved from its customary November date.

Sol RB organisers thank UK ‘connections’ for spreading the word

A family trip to the Caribbean last year to support his friend Rob Swann’s Sol Rally Barbados campaign coincided with Brit Richard Seal’s own search for his first rally car. So impressed was he with the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event that he will return to compete in Sol RB17 in his Ford Escort MkI, one of a growing number of first-time participants.

Fan favourites and familiar faces from overseas are among the more than 30 entries already received on-line for Sol Rally Barbados 2017. Organised by the Barbados Rally Club (BRC), which will celebrate its 60th Anniversary next year, Sol RB17 will run from Friday to Sunday, June 2-4, with Scrutineering and Flow King of the Hill the previous weekend, May 27/28.
