The grand finale of Rally Trinidad 2010 culminated into a dramatic show on the cordoned off streets of Chaguanas. The Bajans “put it broad” on the tarmac, which they are more at home on. In fact every driver who was still running got a chance to show their skills to the capacity crowd. The climax ultimately came when Higgin/Grist took John Powell’s WRC S12 for two hot laps, decimating the competition and winning the Mayor’s Cup in the process. The driving skill, action and excitement was unbelievable. A fitting end to a fantastic rally, perhaps the best we’ve seen in T&T.

David was back out almost immediately but Ian Warren in the Swift dropped out of the rally. Powell 1st, Higgins a very close 2nd and Lochan 3rd was the running order for the entire rally and eventually too for the final standings overall.

The first day of Rally Trinidad 2010 was full of ups and downs. John Powell / Nick Telfer kept the lead with Mark Higgins / Nicky Grist at a close second place by less than 20 seconds. Ainsley Lochan and Robert Dumas were pushing hard in 3rd place. The attrition for the day was high with almost 10 cars dropping out. Paul Bourne dropped out entirely, due to gearbox hydraulic failure and Dean Serrao’s WRC S9 Subaru caught fire and burned completely down.
