This inaugural competition will feature exhilarating races in the Open Class and Bimma Cup categories. With drivers from across the Caribbean already preparing for the challenge, the competition promises to be a thrilling showcase of speed and skill.

An ambitious and passionate entrepreneur, Mr. Carlo Falcone, has been a driving force behind this event. Known for his significant contributions to both sailing and motorsport, Mr. Falcone emphasized the broader impact of this event, noting it will help elevate Antigua and Barbuda’s standing in the global motorsport community.
