Navigational rally veteran Hal Hunte had high praise for the organisers of the recent Toyo Tires February Safari, which kicked off the Barbados Rally Club's (BRC) 50th Anniversary season. After an evenly-matched contest, Chris Armstrong and Wayne Clarke emerged winners in their Suzuki Samurai, with a total of 328 penalties - third on the first route, they then won route two.

The Barbados Rally Club's (BRC) 50th Anniversary season kicks off next Sunday (February 11) with the Toyo Tires February Safari, the first of four rounds in the 2007 BRC Safari Championship . . . and the route-setter is promising a challenging event for navigators and drivers alike.

More than 70 members of the island’s motor sport fraternity were honoured at the Barbados Rally Club’s Annual Awards ceremony on Friday night (November 17), staged at the St Philip residence of vice-chairman Barry Gale. Among the awardees were stage commanders and marshals, whose voluntary contribution to the sport is of such vital importance.

Championship leaders Leslie and Annalee Alleyne will start at number 1 for this Sunday’s (November 12) final round of the 2006 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Safari Championship; by the close of last night’s (Tuesday) briefing meeting, 21 crews had entered, with more anticipated by the Thursday 5.00pm deadline.
The BRC November Safari will start at 8.00am from the car park of Advanced Business Systems in the Warrens Industrial Park, St Michael. Visiting every parish except St Lucy, the event will cover around 140 kilometres, divided into two routes.
