Rally Barbados & Bushy Park
Three-day round-the island rally car race
A huge draw for motor enthusiasts – both competitors and spectators – Rally Barbados is the Caribbean’s biggest international motor event. It comprises three days (and one night stage) of fierce driving competition both off-road and on public roads as local drivers take on international all-comers. Usually taking place at the end of May or in early June.
Spectators congregate with their picnics at various vantage points along the route. There’s also an annual motor show.
Several low-key – but still highly popular – rally events are also hosted by the Barbados Rally Club – some race round the island’s wilder parishes whereas others involve speeding round the race track at Bushy Park, in St Philip.
