Bushy Park International
Bushy Park International Note:
Bushy Park Circuit is located in Barbados and traces its origins to 1971, when a 1.300 km course was built by sugar plantation workers to a design by local rally and racing ace Ralph 'Bizzy' Williams. An Independence race meet was run on a dirt track, with the tarmac circuit opening for Easter 1972. The circuit became a hub for racing in the Caribbean over the next three decades, though it had fallen into disrepair by the mid-2000s.
Reconstruction began in 2013, and following three years of planning and consultation, phase one was completed in time for a worldwide launch at the Top Gear Festival Barbados in May 2014. The modern facility features a 2.01-kilometer International Circuit built to FIA Grade 3 requirements (later downgraded to Grade 4), plus a Rallycross Track, CIK Grade A Kart Circuit, and a one-eighth-mile Drag Strip. The refurbished track hosted the inaugural Top Gear Festival in 2014 and the Race of Champions later that same year. In 2018, a new National Course was added by creating a link road in the footprint of the original 1970s layout.
