Mayers & Read share Winter Sprint victories

Daryl Clarke will be crowned the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Champion Driver for 2016 following two wins in the season finale in yesterday’s (Sunday) BRC Winter Sprint in the north of the island. While victory is well-deserved after Clarke had lost the coveted title twice in the last four years in tie-break deciders, it was a bitter-sweet day, as he badly damaged his car in an accident on the day’s final stage.

Daryl Clarke is the new leader of the annual chase to claim the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) coveted Champion Driver title, after claiming his fifth consecutive Modified 2 class win in the BRC Summer Nights Rally last month (August 29). Victory in the Roberts Manufacturing/Amir’s Chicken/Valvoline/MQI Collision Repair Honda Civic came on a day when other front-runners hit trouble.

Jamaica’s Jeff Panton and Mike Fennell (Rubis / Sandals Barbados / KIG Ford Focus WRC06) will start at number one for tomorrow’s (Saturday) Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Summer Nights Rally, heading an entry list of nearly 30. For the second time this month, the visitors will go head-to-head with Roger Skeete, co-driven for this event by Andrew Croney in the Sol / Flow / Automotive Art Subaru Impreza WRC S12B.
