“Phenomenal doesn't quite cut it, but its close enough!” So said an elated Adrian Linton on Sunday (April 9) after claiming his first-ever overall victory in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Carnival Warm-up Tarmac Rally, second round of the Texaco BRC Rally Championship, which Linton now leads.

The Committee of Management of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) has undergone some changes as a result of its recent Annual General Meeting, held at the Barbados Clay Target Shooting Association’s clubhouse in Christ Church. Mark Hamilton, who had been serving as the BRC’s public relations officer, is the new chairman, while former competition secretary Barry Gale is vice-chairman.

Three Subaru Impreza World Rally Cars, including the 2003 Rally Barbados-winning example of Paul Bourne, will go head-to-head for the first time in the island on Sunday (March 12) when the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) stages the BRC March Gravel Challenge. Action at the Black Bess Plantation in St Peter is scheduled to start at 9.00am.

A winning performance in the first of the two routes on last weekend’s Toyo Tires February Safari gave Suzuki Samurai crew Kenny Croney, the 2004 champion navigator, and Philip McConney the edge in the opening round of the Barbados Rally Club's (BRC) renamed BRC Safari Championship.
They came out on top of the 31 crews who started the first of four events in the 2006 championship, and beat the husband and wife partnership of Leslie and Anna-Lee Alleyne (Suzuki Samurai); their total of 358 penalties resulted in a victory by a margin of 72 penalties.
