Jamaicans out front

ONLY MECHANICAL CHALLENGES stand between the Jamaican pair of Jeff Panton and Mike Fennell Jr and winning this year’s Sol Rally Barbados thereby completing a hat-trick of victories.

Panton and Fennell in the Rubis/Sandals Ford Focus WRC06 are in a strong position as competitors tackle the final ten stages today.

The Jamaicans will restart at the top of the leaderboard with a total elapsed time of 46 minutes, 7.20 seconds.

They opened their account dominating Friday night’s stages at Diamond Corner and only Britain’s Rob Swann and his Welch co-driver Darren Garrod in the WRC-1 Elegant Hotels/Blue Sky Luxury/Cygnet Plant Subaru Impreza WRC S12B offered them any serious challenge as they won yesterday’s third stage. (TT)
