…it was time to get serious and hit up the circuit for some practice! With the climate in Barbados being very different to that of the UK & Ireland heat will be our biggest enemy this weekend and it is imperative that we keep temperatures as low as possible. Thankfully, with the help of our extensive cooling setups and Evans Waterless coolant we are confident that we will be able to avoid any major issues.

Stay tuned for more pictures and videos over the weekend – the real action is yet to come! Keep your eyes on our Facebook & Twitter pages for live updates throughout the course of the event.
