Worswick down for rally again

BRITAIN’S Nigel Worswick should be a more formidable competitor in Sol Rally Barbados this year.

One of more than 55 overseas entries received online, he will be making his sixth consecutive visit to the Barbados Rally Club’s event which is slated for June 3-5, and will be preceded by the Shakedown event, King of the Hill, on May 28 and 29.

Worswick’s will have co-driver Rebecca Kirsch, and they are among more than 55 overseas entries.

They will campaign in Worswick’s Escort WRC, which he could not bring last year, as he was entered for the Manx National and the shipping dates clashed.

Built from a new shell in 1999/2000 by Worswick and his then co-driver, Clive Molyneux, the Escort has a factory roll cage, Tommy Field engine, full WRC-spec suspension and rear diff, plus an XTrac front differential.
