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.
