ORGANISERS REMAIN COMMITTED TO SOL RALLY BARBADOS

events, the Barbados
Rally Club (BRC)
remains committed to
its premier event. In
a statement issued

Club has updated its
membership and
overseas competitors

plans for the future,
all of which still

impact of Covid-19 in
the island and and
further afield.
Club Chairman Mark
Hamilton said
"Abandoning these
events is not a
consideration at this

format, scope and
size are under
constant review given

dates being Sunday,
October 25 for Flow
King of the Hill,
then October 30 to
November 1 for Sol
Rally Barbados.”
