Leading rally drivers were today (Friday) vocal in their praise and support for mandatory training sessions staged this week by the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF), the governing body of motor sport in the island. Approaching 60 competitors attended the two-part course, staged on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (August 19 & 21) at the Sir Garfield Sobers Gymnasium in Wildey.

As competitors from across all the motor sport disciplines prepare to embark on the second half of the island's 2014 domestic season, with at least one event every weekend between now and the end of November, the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF) this week continues its ground-breaking operational and safety training programme.

With the dust settled on Sol Rally Barbados 2014 it is quite interesting to analyse the stage times for each driver to look for consistency, speed and how the times change at night.

Roger Skeete returned to the top step of the Sol Rally Barbados podium at the weekend (May 30-June 1) for the first time since 2011, claiming his 13th victory in the 25-year history of the island’s premier event and extending his remarkable record. As he drove his Subaru Impreza WRC S12 into Parc Ferme at the finish, he said: “Fantastic. After the last two years, I am very happy with the result.”
