UK friends to reunite at Sol Rally Barbados 2022

The 2022 R5 Rally Championship, presented by First Citizens, announced today (March 21) by the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF), is the island’s first national motor sport championship. With a title sponsor new to motor sport, a calendar of events contested across a range of disciplines on a level playing field, and a parallel e-sports component to bring the digital and real motor sport worlds closer, the Federation believes it will act as a catalyst to further expand the sport in the island.
