SOL Rally Barbados overseas entry climbing

Trinidad & Tobago’s David Coelho is the first regional entry for Sol Rally Barbados 2019, the 30th running of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event, while confirmation of American George Sherman’s participation brings to 10 the number of overseas entries so far shown in the on-line entry list. Campaigning his Ford Fiesta R5, Coelho joins Britain’s Tom Preston (Skoda Fabia R5) in the new FIA R5 category, while Sherman has upgraded Coelho’s former Group N Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX to run in Modified 4.

Welshman Elfyn Evans, who finished third for the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team in last weekend’s Rally Mexico, round three of the 2019 WRC, was the first driver to compete in Barbados in an R5-spec car; he was third in Sol RB16 in a Fiesta R5 Evo with then co-driver Craig Parry, but two years passed before Preston and Carl Williamson finished ninth overall last year, winning Group A, in which the Fabia was classified at the time.
