Kirk and Aleema Mo­hammed and An­drew and Cas­san­dra Nas­seir won the novice and ex­pe­ri­enced cat­e­gories, re­spec­tive­ly, of the T&T Nav­i­ga­tion and Stages As­so­ci­a­tion's (T&TNSA) an­nu­al "Ral­ly on Re­gard­less". The third edi­tion of the two-day 284km nav­i­ga­tion­al com­pe­ti­tion was held from Ju­ly 7–8 in mem­o­ry of ral­ly en­thu­si­ast, Ralph Ramdeo, who fre­quent­ly rep­re­sent­ed T&T in Suri­name's pres­ti­gious Sa­vanne Ral­ly. The first leg of the ral­ly be­gan on Sat­ur­day morn­ing at the Cam­den He­li­port in Cou­va. Par­tic­i­pants then nav­i­gat­ed to Ma­yaro, through a route which in­clud­ed roads pass­ing through Are­na, Tal­paro, Tamana, San­gre Grande, Fish­ing Pond and Man­zanil­la. Com­peti­tors al­so had to hunt for "trea­sures" on the route such as co­conuts, onions, gar­lic, a Ma­yaro girl and even a crab.

At the end of the first leg, the com­peti­tors camped out in Ma­yaro and be­gan their sec­ond leg to the fin­ish point at the Ram­per­sad Broth­ers Ranch in Pe­nal. This route took the teams through, Ec­clesville, Tabaquite, Broth­er's Road, Fifth and Sixth Com­pa­ny, Moru­ga, Cun­jal and Bar­rack­pore and the ad­di­tion­al chal­lenge was to find an­swers on route for ob­ser­va­tion ques­tions. Par­tic­i­pants had sight-see­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties as they made their way pass the Dev­il's Wood­yard and Dig­i­ty Mud Vol­cano. The com­pe­ti­tion was di­vid­ed in­to two cat­e­gories, ex­pe­ri­enced and novice. The Mo­hammeds took the win­ning tro­phies for the first and sec­ond leg, while re­tain­ing the chal­lenge tro­phy as over­all win­ners in the novice cat­e­go­ry with 1870 points. Fawaz Mo­hammed and Sharaz Ra­jab topped the ex­pe­ri­enced cat­e­go­ry in the first leg, but the Nas­seirs took the tro­phy for the sec­ond leg as well and the ti­tle for over­all ex­pe­ri­enced win­ners as they end­ed on 4550 points. The next T&TNSA event is the St Christo­pher's Ral­ly sched­uled for Ju­ly 29.
