Adrian and Jonathan Linton have a long history in Motorsport and are well known in the motorsport fraternity. Adrian Linton started his motorsport involvement in 1987, behind the wheel of a Daihatsu Charade Turbo. Within a few events, he demonstrated his competitiveness, and for many years it was almost routine for him to win his class at Speed Events and Navigational Rallies Special Stages. This skill and the reliability of the car resulted in him winning Driver of the Year in the Barbados Motoring Club, and Junior Driver in the Barbados Rally Club, an award for the “best rookie”.  During his successful period with the Charade, Adrian attracted the sponsorship of Mobil when they operated in Barbados. It can also be said that the dealers for Daihatsu cars gained much mileage from the competitiveness and reliability of the car. 

Brother Jonathan was his partner in most of the Navigational Rallies, and provided support for the car preparation.  Due to the demands of his career and family, Adrian took a break from Motorsport.  After some time, the "bug" bit brother Jonathan, and they prepared a Mini to return to the sport. This car was not very competitive, and was more prepared for fun than to win. Following some years of competing in the mini, Adrian and Jonathan decided to  look for a more competitive car. A Mazda 323 was purchased from a competitor who had stopped competing. This car had demonstrated winning potential. Adrian and Jonathan competed in the car with considerable success. After a relatively short period, since both Adrian and Jonathan had overseas work commitments, the car was sold, and Adrian and Jonathan took a long break from the sport.  After both Adrian and Jonathan returned to Barbados, the “bug” bit again, Adrian and Jonathan decided to return to the sport. Since there was not pressure to commence competing immediately, much research was done on the type of car that would be competitive, reliable and cost-effective to run. In May of 2001, a Vauxhall Astra GTE was chosen as the most suitable car to compete in. The car was entered in its first event, the Texaco Rally of 2001. The car was hurriedly prepared, as it was purchased in the UK and only arrived in Barbados two weeks prior to the event. As can happen in the sport of this type, there was an accident in the rally where the car rolled.  Despite of this, the car continued and finished the event, and even placed 3 rd in the group.

With more time to spend on the car following the Texaco Rally, and with some additional preparation and testing, the car was entered in the Royal Westmoreland/Castrol rally in 2001. The competitiveness of the car was clear, and the car won its class comfortably. Suspension problems prevents good results
following this rally, and it was decided to go the "whole hog" for 2002 and purchase top-of-the-line suspension costing over $4,000.00. This investment paid off with group and class wins in all speed events contested for the year for both the Barbados Rally Club and Barbados Motoring Club, second place in group in the Quaker Stage Stages Rally, first place in group in the Castrol Stages Challenge and the Tropical/Royal Westmoreland Stages Rally, and most notably first place in group and class and third
fastest two-wheel drive local entry in the 2002 Texaco Havoline Stages Rally. Indeed after the first day of the rally, Adrian had a lead of over 42 seconds. The team also won their class competing in Jamaica in the PETCOM Loose Stage Rally.  The motorsport season for 2002 has been a huge success for the team. Significant investment has been made in the car both in parts and preparation. This has paid off
since Adrian has created history by winning both the Barbados Rally Club and Barbados Motoring Club championships for 2002. Adrian has demonstrated that he still has his winning edge, great skill and ability to win.
