Barbados Rally Carnival

The sixth Barbados Rally Carnival is just a few weeks away.

A Geest Line freighter is already heading toward the island carrying rally cars from Europe, while the visiting crews will arrive on a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 on May 24.

Both the Carnival's International events are qualifying rounds of the championship - the Vaucluse Raceway International RallySprint will follow the format of this season's earlier RallySprints as a night-time event staged on Saturday, May 27, while the two days of Rally Barbados (June 3 & 4) will count as separate points-scoring opportunities.

Despite many regular competitors having been absent, either awaiting completion of their cars or away from the island, 32 drivers have already scored points, a number anticipated to nearly double over the period of Rally Carnival.

Barbados has held this international motorsport event for over 40 years, and the Rally attracts motor racing fans from all over the world, as well as a loyal following of local spectators.
