ISLAND’S OLDEST MOTOR SPORT EVENT NEXT WEEKEND

The island’s oldest organised motor sport event looks set to be one of the toughest as well this year; that’s the word from the organisers of the 2005 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) 4x4 June Safari, which will be staged next weekend (June 18/19).
This year’s event will be the 48th in its history; formerly known as the June Rally, it began as a purely navigational event before being run for some years as a navigational rally, including special stages. It eventually reverted to its navigational format, and five years ago became a 4 x 4 off-road event.
