Paul Bird created history yesterday when he became the first foreign driver to win the King of the Hill event. Since 2008, this event, which has become the final shakedown before Sol Rally Barbados, has been shared equally among local drivers Roger Skeete and Paul Bourne who have each recorded two victories.

This result sets up what is expected to be a hard fought battle for the top podium positions in next weekend’s Sol Rally Barbados 2012 (RB12), with at least seven WRC cars showing that they are serious contenders for victory while Neil Armstrong’s potent Toyota Starlet continues to nip at their heels.

It will be a busy week ahead as I review the hundred of shots taken to select, process and post the pictures of this event. I will add photos to my Flickr site during the next few days so please check there regularly for updates
