SEEDED AT NUMBER ONE for tomorrow’s Sunoco Shakedown Stages ahead of local driver Roger Hill, Britain’s Rob Swann starts his final preparations for Sol Rally Barbados 2016.

Driving his recently-acquired Subaru Impreza WRC S12B for the first time, the ten-stage event presents an ideal chance for Swann to warm up before Flow King Of The Hill and the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event over the next six weeks.

Sporting a locally-wrapped new livery in deference to sponsors Elegant Hotels and Blue Sky Luxury, Swann’s car will be seen at scrutineering between noon and 5 p.m. today at Automotive Art Welches.

When new, the car was driven by Subaru World Rally Team drivers Xavi Pons and Petter Solberg. (PR)
