A beloved Tortola tradition is making a comeback. The Rotary Club of Tortola will host its Fun Car Rally on Saturday, 21 November, drawing families, corporate groups and friends to navigate a treasure-hunt-style route across the island.
Participants will gather at 10:00 a.m. at Captain Mulligan's in Nanny Cay to begin their journey. The organisers are asking teams to embrace a "Pajama Party" theme by wearing sleepwear and decorating their vehicles with flair. Along the way, drivers will face scenic drives, creative challenges and chances to compete for cash.
The prize pool totals US$1,750. First place wins $1,000, second place receives $500 and third place takes home $250. The Rotary Club will also award separate honours for Best Costume and Best Decoration.
Registration costs $75 for two people per car, $150 for three to six people per car, and $250 for corporate teams of up to six people.
The rally debuted in 1990 and has long served as a gathering point for the community. Its revival welcomes both those who remember earlier editions and newcomers looking to join in.
All money raised supports the Rotary Club of Tortola's community service initiatives across the British Virgin Islands.
Rotary Club President Mitsy Ellis-Simpson said the event carries meaning beyond competition. "It is a chance to bring people together, celebrate fellowship and have fun while supporting meaningful community service," she said.
International Motors, Fish Bay, Caribbean Insurers Ltd and Sugar Mill Hotel, Restaurant and Spa are backing the event.
Those interested can register by calling 542-7309, 541-1773 or 340-1864, or by checking the Rotary Club of Tortola's Facebook page.
