From small beginnings in 1990 as a one-day event for around 30 local competitors, Sol Rally Barbados has grown into the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport International, attracting up to 100 crews, one-third of them from the wider Caribbean and further afield.

It is one of the strongest sporting brand names in the region, particularly for visitors from Europe, and a key player in the island’s sports-tourism product. Each year, the event contributes comfortably in excess of Bds $2 million to the economy, much of it in valuable foreign exchange, and accounts for around 2,500 visitor nights at a traditionally quiet time in the tourism calendar.

Over the past two years, 40 first-time visitors have carried to 257 the number of overseas competitors hosted by the event; drivers and co-drivers from the wider Caribbean now number 58, from four territories, while the International list stands just one short of 200. Newcomers from Australia, Germany and South Africa also increased to 18 the number of countries outside the region represented in recent years.

Sol RB12 will take place on Saturday and Sunday, June 9/10, with Scrutineering and the Shell V-Power King of the Hill ‘shakedown’ the previous weekend, June 2/3.
