Leading drivers set to go ‘carting’ at The Rally Show

Some of the island’s leading rally crews will go head-to-head at Bushy Park Barbados on Saturday (June 3) at The Rally Show, which will include a competitive element for the first time. In an echo of this year’s innovative Sol Rally Barbados safety video, the Carter’s Shopping Cart Challenge will allow them to let off some steam in a fun environment ahead of the island’s two biggest annual weekends of motor sport, First Citizens King of the Hill (June 4) and Sol Rally Barbados 2023 (Jun 9-11).

Uptick in international media coverage for Sol RB23

There will be a major uptick in worldwide media coverage for Sol Rally Barbados (June 9-11) and its ‘Motorsport Island’ home this year, as a combination of factors converge to further consolidate the event’s already robust international reputation. It has been included on the calendar of the TER World Series, a new-for-2023 extension of the Tour European Rally Series, whose promoters blend sports reporting with coverage of each rally location’s tourism sector in global broadcast and online coverage.

Big points on offer for Championship rivals in Sol RB23

The first two weekends of June are crucial for competitors seeking to win the coveted Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion Driver trophy. The points to be scored at First Citizens King of the Hill (June 4) and Sol Rally Barbados 2023 (June 9-11) represent just over one-third of the total for the year, so nothing can be left to chance in the two marquee events in the Club’s seven-round championship.

Normal service resumed in 2wd battle for Sol RB23

Top Two-Wheel-Drive in Sol Rally Barbados is an accolade fought over with as much commitment and determination as overall victory and means every bit as much to the protagonists as well. Just ask Justin Campbell, 14th overall and top 2wd in Sol RB22 in his BMW M3 with co-driver Ayrton Bannister, who said afterwards: “It was the closest feeling I think I could get to winning Sol Rally Barbados.”
