The Race of Champions was not just about promoting a facility for motor sport, but more so about promoting Barbados to the world.
Debbie Simpson, chief executive officer of Simpson Motors, one of the major sponsors of the two-day international race meet, made this disclosure yesterday evening, minutes after the end of the championship held at the new and improved Bushy Park, St Philip.
“All of these people who are watching this all over the world when it is either beamed live or is in post production, that is talking about Barbados and as a Barbadian we want them to come back for a holiday,” she said.
Simpson told the DAILY NATION that Simpson Motors was committed to continuing its association with the event.
