Barbara Carter started

rallying back in 1972

when she was in her

early 50’s and soon

became a formidable

face across the South

West, South East and

Wales where she rallied

a variety of cars such as

Sunbeams, Corolla’s and

Escorts with a host of

different navigators

such as Calvin Fenwick,

Ashley Drew, Bob Jones,

Bob Evans, Richard

Gough, Peter Barnard,

Len Beer and Ian

Orford.

Barbara was a valued

member and support of

Exmouth Motor Club and competed in both the Association of South West Motor Clubs and the Central and

Southern Road Rally Championships winning the ASWMC championship outright in 1998. One of her most

memorable results came in this year on the Ilfracombe Navigational Rally with Peter Barnard taking first

overall. Even after that event, as usual, Barbara made sure she milked the cows when she got home before

getting her head down for some rest!

Sadly Barbara passed away in December 2000 after retiring at the end of the ASWMC Championship with a

very respectable second overall driver position at the age of 78.

In 2001 Peter Barnard, Darren Dixon and Mark Butler decided to run a National B Navigational Rally for

Exmouth Motor Club with Alan Whitney as Clerk of the Course to be known as The Barbara Carter Memorial

Rally. Due to the outbreak of Foot and Mouth the first event to run wasn’t until 2002, as thus the event was

born! Some 24 entries started the first event with locals Darren Dixon & Peter Barnard taking honours in a 205

GTi. The event took a year out in 2009 when Alan stepped down but then original winning Navigator Peter

Barnard took over the reins of Clerk of the Course in 2010 and grew it to the event that’s known now.

2019 sees a new Clerk of the Course, 2015 & 2018 winning navigator Daniel Pidgeon who hopes to carry on the

Barbara Carter name for Exmouth Motor Club into the future.
