Trevor Manning returned to his winning ways on Sunday (October 22) when the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) staged the Texaco BRC Gravel Rally . . . but his victory was not enough to prevent Paul Bourne becoming the second Texaco BRC Rally Champion.
Although only 19 cars contested the year’s final rally, a quality entry provided some class action for the large numbers of spectators who lined the two five-kilometre stages at Yorkshire and Guinea, each run four times. The event started and finished at the Vaucluse Raceway, where a prize-giving rounded off the day’s proceedings.

Officials of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) are working hard on plans to save next Sunday’s (October 22) final round of the Texaco BRC Rally Championship. The recent heavy rains, which have affected all corners of the island, have presented the organising team led by competition secretary Jonathan Still with some challenges.

Leslie and Annalee Alleyne consolidated their position as leaders of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Safari Championship with victory in the third of this season’s four rounds last Sunday (August 27). Twenty-nine of the 32 crews that started the BRC August Safari reached the finish on terrain that was considerably less muddy than had been anticipated following the heavy rains of the previous week.

The experienced husband and wife crew of Leslie and Annalee Alleyne lead the 2006 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Safari Championship at the half-way stage; in what is proving to be a highly-competitive season, just a handful of points cover the leading crews - two events remain, the next challenge to be faced being the BRC August Safari at the end of this month.
