Bajan pair win Trinidad rally

JAMES BETTS and Jason Costelloe gave notice of their intentions when they won the Trinidad and Tobago Rally Club’s ten-stage rally last weekend.
True to their motto of “flat out racing”, the pair – competing as Betts Motorsport in a Group 3-A Shell Helix Mitsubishi Evolution IV – grabbed top honours in the gruelling event.
Betts and Costelloe, who finished second in Rally Jamaica last year, dominated the Trinidad event from the opening stage, setting fastest times on all the stages.
Last year’s champions Christian Bourne and Jesus de Gannes, who won Group 2-N, had to be content with second place.
The pair of David Coleho and James Harris, who were back in action after a long layoff,  finished third overall.
