On a hot afternoon in the Caribbean, legends from many of the world's biggest motor sport series teamed up in pairs to battle for national and regional pride.

They raced a mix of cars - including the Ariel Atom Cup, Audi R8 LMS, Stadium Super Truck, VW Polo RX, KTM X-Bow, ROC Car and Euro NASCAR - on a purpose-built parallel track at Bushy Park Barbados.

Le Mans legend Tom Kristensen and FIA World Rallycross Champion Petter Solberg prevailed in the final against Team Scotland.

First Kristensen defeated Williams F1 official test driver Susie Wolff, then 13-time F1 grand prix winner David Coulthard won out against Solberg to take it to the decider. But Kristensen came out on top in the end, winning the final heat after Coulthard spun off at the final corner.

Host nation Team Barbados (Dane Skeete and Rhett Watson) delighted the home fans with a magnificent ROC Nations Cup debut, making it through to the semi-final before they were beaten by Team Scotland

Skeete kept the crowd on the edge of their seats by defeating Wolff but Coulthard came out on top in the end with two wins.
