Mud Dogs / Navigational Rally

Crews are making ready for the final round of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship on Sunday (November 2). With one final challenge of around 120 kilometres and dropped scores yet to be taken into account, there is still much to settle in the Coastal Lubricants November Safari.

Multiple Champion Leslie Alleyne has applauded moves to update the methods of setting navigational rallies pioneered in last Sunday’s (October 8) Savvy on the Bay October Safari. With navigator Chris O’Neal, Alleyne overcame the opposition - and the weather - to claim their third win in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2025 Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship.

A scenic six-hour route passing through nine of the island’s parishes is ahead of crews in Sunday’s (September 14) Savvy on the Bay MudDogs September Safari. Using some trails which have rarely, if ever, been used before, along with some novel methods of navigation, completing the 110 kilometres in the time allowed will present competitors with a tough challenge.

Leslie Alleyne and Chris O’Neal won last weekend’s (June 28/29) Chefette June Safari, amassing 1175 penalties in their POD Store/Maxxis/Lucky Locks Suzuki Jimny and extending their record-breaking run to four consecutive victories. The 180-kilometre overnight route touched all 11 parishes, crews battling tough terrain in driving rain and poor visibility during the hours of darkness.

Simon Parravicino and Andrew Croney won the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) April Safari on Sunday (April 13), round two of the 2025 Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship. They claimed the Audley Croney Memorial Trophy, named for navigator Andrew’s father, a long-standing member of the BRC and an enthusiastic and skilful competitor in navigational events.

The Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship will welcome its first all-electric off-roader on Sunday (April 13). Former rally driver and multiple BRC Autocross Champion, Jamaica’s Chris ‘Teach’ McFarlane, will drive the four-wheel-drive version of the Riddara RD6 in the BRC MudDogs April Safari with wife Deborah as navigator, one of six female participants in Sunday’s event.

Leslie Alleyne and Chris O’Neal returned to winning ways in Sunday’s (March 2) March Safari, the first of five rounds of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2025 Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship which will test the skills of the Club’s off-road navigational rallying fraternity between now and November.

Four months after winning the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 2024 Chefette MudDogs Safari Championship, Simon Parravicino and Andrew Croney start their title defence on Sunday (March 2). The BRC March Safari is the first of five rounds which will test the skills of the Club’s navigational rallying fraternity between now and November.
