British driver Andrew Costin-Hurley’s entry for Sol Rally Barbados 2016 marks his 13th visit to the island for an event he describes as “a big and colourful part of our lives”. This year, he is reunited with co-driver Rob Brook, with whom he achieved a personal best in Sol RB14 – 21st overall, plus his third class win – and also returns after a comprehensive rebuild of his unique Ford Puma Evo.

Four British friends who last rallied together on one of the world’s toughest events almost a decade ago will be reunited in competition for the first time since then on Sol Rally Barbados 2016. They are among more than 50 overseas entries so far posted on the official web site – www.rallybarbados.net - for the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport International, which will run from Friday to Sunday, June 3 to 5.

British couple Marcel Freling and Karen Robinson are seeking to revive the “fun factor” in their rallying by competing in Sol Rally Barbados 2016. The multiple award-winners in the hotly-contested British Trial & Rally Drivers Association (BTRDA) Championship over the past 12 years are among more than 10 first-time overseas crews who have entered the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event.

Double Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion Driver Rhett Watson heads six local 2015 title-winners whose entries for Sol Rally Barbados 2016 are listed among nearly 60 already posted on-line at www.rallybarbados.net. Having celebrated the 25th Anniversary of its premier event this year, the BRC has confirmed that Sol RB16 will run from June 3 to 5, with Scrutineering and King of the Hill on May 28/29.
