SOL RALLY BARBADOS 2020
SOL RALLY BARBADOS 2020

It is quite difficult to say one can embody rally in one photo. Rally although being a spectator sport mostly goes unseen by the spectators. Cars blasting through stages at breakneck speeds are seen for barely a second if you aren’t caught off guard with your face in a beverage. Capturing this proved to be exceptionally difficult. Jody Forte and I (Alex) really persevered with this and tried to bring you images of our best experiences of Sol Rally Barbados 2020 this year.

In Barbados, we say “dat road hot” when it refers to boy racers making drag passes on public roads at night. Have you ever wondered though, what it would be like if those roads were opened for a day, and you could really have at it?

Earlier up this year, BARL put on another Wheels and Heels show. I took some time to experiment and try new things in my photographs, hope you enjoy the small gallery

A kit car brings a different dynamic to the mix, and it’s a normal progression in our society as well. Kit cars are, dare I say it, the “TikTok” remixes of the car world. Its more substantial though, instead of being washed away into the endless ocean of content, this stays with you, every day you look outside and it’s there.

On that day you have a really small meal that tastes amazing, for sure, and you wear your evening attire, and it’s an amazing occasion, photos are taken and you head back home, but let’s be honest, nothing beats the taste of a Gap Burger after you’ve had 5 beers and a few shots of rum. It’s greasy, it’s sloppy and it’s brash. All the photos are horrible and that’s the memory you keep with you forever. We all want that greasy gap burger for real. Burger Boys through and through.

When you’re asked to think about a Toyota built sports car from the 90s, more than likely the Supra would spring to mind almost as quickly as it accelerates. But what if you’re told to think of something a little smaller? Celica, Levin? How about the Starlet? The Toyota Starlet Glanza V was the entry to the Toyota sports car brotherhood, but by no means is it to be taken for granted. With a punchy engine, go-kart like handling and so little weight that you have to pin it down when you park, the Starlet Glanza V is a potent little pocket rocket.

Yes, by the way, if you’re asking if it's a kit car you’d be right. No, if you think that just because it's a kit car it loses all validity and purpose of discussion, let’s get that out of the way to start. I think the fact that this is a kit means a lot more than if it was a real Countach, and at the end of this series of articles I am hoping you would feel the same way too.

I remember my first ever heartbreak! For many it is their first relationship, but for me it was when he sold that car. Thankfully, shortly after, I got to fall in love with a new toy- the AE111 BZR. My favourite thing about this car was the way it sounded and the way it threw me back in my seat

Maybe I was being looked after, but a really good friend of mine sent me a message with a picture randomly one afternoon, it was an image of a for sale post on Facebook Marketplace. I really thought taking on a second car wasn’t necessary but who would’ve known just a week later I would be in need of an entire car for my project, so I quickly recomposed myself and called the owner made a deal and made it mine.

We caught up with Jason Downey and Kristina Pinto after Sol Rally Barbados, for a chat. We learned more about them, what inspires them, and drove them to take part in the 2020 rally. Find out about the spills and thrills and the unique opportunities had when persons pursue their passions with the spirit of persistence.

To build a car correctly having a workspace to do so is important. What I really love about SDRR is the way they have taken a passion for working with the passions of their staff. The passion of Motorsport. They have allowed this car to be built on-site, and they have offered some assistance as well, for major hydraulic oriented parts and spares needed to make the build happen.

Detailing your car the right way, with the right products has become a serious talking point in the car community abroad and it has trickled down to our community here in Barbados as well. Here enters Automotive Art. The goal of car care is top on their list so it’s only logical they would want to help you maintain your ride.

Highly boosted engines are not ideal when using pump gas. This is why, having a healthy diet is important to this build. This engine is making upwards of 38 psi of boost, and this is made possible by good old corn juice.

Each of us can only say what we feel when it comes to the solution of that question. Some may want their car to be on steroids, nursing a bottle of nitrous-oxide and more juiced up than the Russian Olympic Team, and others love a car that breaks everyday, (I swear that’s not what FORD stands for). At the end of the day, we all need a hit, because driving is our passion.

Every project needs to start somewhere, and bodywork was definitely on the top of the list along with suspension (more on that in another update), especially when you have a couple mini rust craters on the roof.

SDRR was founded in 1999, they specialize in the the repair and made to order assembly of hydraulic and air hoses, metal lines and control cables for agricultural, construction, marine, automotive and industrial applications. When the guys at SDRR, told SF to come down to take a look at their project car, we were naturally super excited

We are happy to announce our first sponsored article! We had the chance find one of the most interesting Corollas here in Barbados. We worked with Lucas Oils here in the island, and we took some time to follow up on a local racer they sponsor.

I'm in love with Car Culture, and I'm sad it died down a bit here, but We are trying to bring everyone together again, so we can show it off internationally.

Nothing major, it's still stock. The car is pushing 19 years or so of age, it just needs some sprucing up. The first quality of life mod I did was install some GlowShift gauges I got from Chris at Redline Barbados who is, by the way, building an amazing 280Z, check out the article we posted a little while ago.

The issues in the past which really hindered electric Cars were its batteries. I'm sure we all are becoming familiar with this common sign, a green box in the parking lot, reserved for electric cars.
