Final time-line confirmed in supplementary regulations

Competitors across the world and the organising team in the Caribbean are now focussed on the final time-line for Sol Rally Barbados 2017, as the Supplementary Regulations (SRs), to be published shortly on the official web site, rallybarbados.net, confirm the remaining key dates for the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event.

The on-line closing date for local and regional entries is just five weeks away, Friday, April 28, while European competitors need to have their houses in order a week earlier, as April 21 is the final date for delivery of cars to Portsmouth on the English south coast, ready for shipping on the Geest Line freighter Benguela Stream the following Tuesday.

The document, available as a PDF download under the Competitor drop-down tab, also specifies other important dates in the time-line, with just nine weeks to go before the new-for-2017 Rally Show at Simpson Motors (Saturday, May 27) kicks off an action-packed ten-day programme of competition and social events.
Sol RB17 Chairman, Mark Hamilton said, “I imagine I am not alone in almost being caught out by how quickly the time has passed, but the countdown is on. We have more than 80 on-line entries, with some interesting newcomers who are just now getting their ducks in a row, so we can confirm their participation. I would urge local and regional competitors who have not yet posted their entries to do so, as we have identified around 15 to 20 of the ‘usual suspects’ who are not yet on the list.”
