Rally Jamaica is a 3-day international rally event held in Jamaica each year. It takes place over gravel stages and includes special stages in New Kingston and Downtown Kingston. In 2014, the opening ceremony was in New Kingston on November 21st, with stages also happening on November 22nd and 23rd. These included the "Big Jump" stage at Brybrook Plantation, where cars launch off a steep hill, and the "Water Splash" stage at Wakefield, where cars drive through a river. Defending champion Jeffrey Panton successfully defended his title in 2013 and has now won the Jamaica Rally a record eight times.
