LINTON WINS SECOND DRIVER’S CHAMPIONSHIP

Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion of 2002 Adrian Linton claimed his second title on Sunday (October 22), when he clinched the Virgin Atlantic BRC Driver’s Championship in a last-round showdown with season-long rival Ian Warren in the Texaco BRC Gravel Rally; Linton is also the Modified 7 Champion.

MANNING WINS EVENT, BOURNE WINS TITLE

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.

BOURNE AND MANNING HEAD ENTRY LIST
