(Owner of the KP61 Starlet) I would encourage anyone to come down to this rally. It is great fun from a spectator's point of view and also as a competitor. The atmosphere is fantastic, and yes there is plenty of rum to go around. This year we had 89 entries, with 30 international entries. As you can see there are a lot of older Toyota's, and actually Toyota was the best represented brand, with something like 17 entries!

Make plans for next year! It will be here before you know it.

the Focus aboue is really an ex-WRC car...can't remember the complete history of the car, but it is currently owned by a guy by the name of Steve Perez and the car was once driven in the World Rally Championship...

the WRC Corolla in which you see pictured, is being driven by Irish-man Chris Meeke, who is the second international driver to win this yearly event...the only other international driver to win this event is Irish-man Kenny McKinstry....

i am not too certain what engine is under the bonnet of the Mazda 3 but i must say it is very impressive for what it is...thanks for posting this event up on speedhunter.com, will keep you all up to date with any more events that are coming up

@ walter H; the focus was never sold as a 4wd anywhere. Even the RS was still FF with LSD. This is either FF with the WRC-body kit or a genuine WRC Focus. i think the latter.

Great shots by the way. The long exposure shot is awesome!

Indeed the photos are rather cool, I checked out some photos of the rally

on Flickr and it seems quite a few of the cars are on UK plates.

AWESOME PHOTOS!!! I love the 1983-84 kouki KP61 Starlet, and of course the ST185 GT-Four RC Celica, and the TE71/AE71 Corolla! Awesome! The WRC Rally style Corolla is great too... Focus, whatever.

I would LOVEE to goto Barbados and shoot cars sometime. And drink some rum.

I take it that the Focus is one that has AWD like some sold in the UK and what not? Awesome photos I really like the old school Corolla spinning some wheels in the dirt.

Wow..Nice pics...gotta hand to the "Brave" spectators though...People get hit all the time... At a race in Chile..a driver named Brody Ceron, smashed into a bunch of onlookers. Nobody died. But he continued the race and got arrested at the finish line! Crazy!
