Competition among the fastest cars is expected to be tough
at Cherry Tree Hill on Sunday morning: Mayers will face the
established names of Roger Skeete (Texaco/Michelin/McEnearney
Quality/Consolidated Finance/Carib Ford Escort WRC) and Paul
Bourne (Banks/Pirelli/Texaco/Williams Industries Subaru Impreza
WRC), as well as Roett and the re-liveried now silver Toyota
Celica GT4 of Roger Hill, showing allegiance to its new sponsor
Mobil 1. Trevor Manning will miss the action as his Mitsubishi
Evo 5 is still being readied for the new campaign.
Mayers said: "I've had half an hour in the Focus and
it feels very different to the Escort. Sunday is really just
a get through the day sort of thing. I'm in the same position
as I was at the beginning of last year with the Escort, getting
used to things. But I'm looking forward to getting started."
The
Focus was given a fanfare launch at the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium
this morning (Saturday) where, for the first time, the Barbados
Auto Racing League (BARL) joined the BRC and Motoring Club
of Barbados Inc (MCBI) for annual scrutineering, a further
example of the efforts of all clubs to work closer together
under the umbrella of the Barbados Motoring Federation.
