With racing under way in Guyana and Trinidad in the late 1960s, Barbados needed a racetrack. The island’s sole organiser, the Barbados Rally Club (BRC), created a one-off at Chancery Lane in August 1971, then ‘Bizzy’ Williams offered land at Bushy Park; an Independence race meet was run on a dirt track, with the tarmac circuit opening for Easter 1972. First closed by the mid-‘70s fuel crisis, the venue opened and closed twice again before coming in to its own in the late ‘90s. Around 11 miles from the capital Bridgetown, the facility is now the leading circuit-racing facility in the English-speaking Caribbean after a major redevelopment over the winter of 2013-’14.
