Bahamas Speed Week, revived in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and other government agencies and private sponsors in 2011 after a 46-year hiatus, is underway again this year with some of the world's most exotic cars competing in hill climbs and circuit sprints this coming weekend. In addition to local entries, cars and drivers are coming in from the UK, US and Canada. The legendary Sir Stirling Moss is making his second appearance in as many years, returning as Honorary Patron of the event and Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes is once again serving as Patron of the Auction of Promises to benefit local charities. Karting sponsors include BOB, Latin Trade and the Vlasov family.
