Crews welcome SOL Rally Barbados night stages

The return of night stages to Sol Rally Barbados – two loops in the north of the island will bring Saturday’s action to a close – have attracted positive feedback from competitors seeking a fresh challenge. With a new location for Friday’s Ceremonial Start and opening stage among other changes to the route, Sol RB18 next weekend (June 1-3) promises a weekend of thrills for competitors and spectators alike.

For the first time, the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event will start on the RallySprint track at the Vaucluse Raceway in St Thomas (June 1, at 5.50pm), with cars running in reverse order of seeding, side-by-side in pairs; each crew will be interviewed on the Ceremonial Start ramp to the south of the start-line, before moving forward to tackle two laps of the RallySprint track.
