Welcome to Sol Rally Barbados

Friends,
For the past few months, the Barbados Rally Club has been hard at work putting together the details of Sol Rally Barbados 2010 . . . and also looking at ways to celebrate what will be the 20th anniversary of its first-ever All-Stage Rally.

Over the last 20 years, there has been a common thread in the event’s success, the significant contribution of our overseas friends. They helped make the event what it is today, by returning year after year to give our local competitors some excellent competition and our local spectators some exciting driving to watch.

Legends like Martin ‘Mad-Dale’ Stockdale, Kevin ‘Bus Driver’ Procter, Kenny ‘Team Tartan Hall’ and many more have come to Barbados to compete but have found more than just competition; they have earned the admiration of spectators and enjoyed the camaraderie of local competitors. In Barbados, if you have been given a nickname, you are definitely part of the family!

In 2008 and 2009, the Club worked tirelessly to promote Sol Rally Barbados in Europe, and with great success; the best endorsements, however, are the positive words of those competitors, their teams and supporters who take part each year. That being said, we decided that 2010 would be a year of celebration of the clubman competitors who have made our event so special; our package is intended to show our appreciation for the effort they have put in over the years and the number of times they have come back to participate.

Check out the entry and shipping package in the Overseas Competitor Information Document, which can be found as a pdf download in the competitors section of the site. But remember that we’ll be updating it in the near future as more details are confirmed on the deals available from our airline, car rental, hotel and other service industry partners.

Entries are already open on-line – look under the entries section! – and the first came in more than two weeks before Christmas! If you’re keen to compete, make sure to get on-line quickly!
Look forward to seeing you all in May.
