Barry Barrable Obituary, Death – Since we learned about Barry Barrable’s departure this morning, our hearts have been filled with an incalculable amount of sorrow, and we will miss him tremendously. We will remember him with great fondness. Barry was a driver who not only had a substantial amount of experience, but also a high level of competition in the industry. Following his victory at Santry Stock Car Track, he went on to take part in the Production Saloons competition at Mondello Park.
At first, he was behind the wheel of a 3.0 Capri, but later, he switched to an RS Turbo Escort. On the other side, he did not start to see results until after he had teamed up with Aidan Fields’ AMF squad. Prior to that, he had seen nothing but failure. After that, he was able to place consistently well in the top ranks of the 205 GTI Championship, which is well-known for being an extremely challenging competition.
Following that, he competed in the Dunlop Saloon Car Championship in an AMF Astra 16v. The United Kingdom played host to this particular competition. His races against Michael Cullen became the stuff of legends, and 98FM, which was one of Barry’s key sponsors, often broadcast them. 98FM was one of Barry’s primary sponsors. In addition to that, Barry raced with his close buddy Tommy Graham in a few events at Tipperary Raceway while driving a Ford Ka.
These events took place at the track. In recent years, he has competed in the Fiesta ST Championship driving a Zetec Fiesta, and he was essentially the driving force behind the development of the Fiesta ST Championship. In addition, he was the driving force behind the formation of the British Touring Car Championship. Additionally, he is credited with being the primary mover and shaker in the establishment of the Fiesta ST Championship.
During this terrible time, our thoughts and prayers are with Barry’s loving wife Niamh, both of their extended families, and all of Barry’s many, many friends in the motorsports community. Barry crossed the finish line way too soon, and we are all going to miss having him here with us to share in our experiences. I hope and pray that he will be at rest for the rest of eternity.
