Edward Corbin and Kurt Thompson are the new leaders of the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Driver’s Championship after a major shake-up of the standings following First Citizens King of the Hill (May 25) and BCIC RB25 (May 30-June 1). After a record local entry for the season’s two marquee events, rounds four to six of the BRC Championship, an unprecedented 80 drivers have now scored points.

The Rally Barbados trophy is heading to Jamaica for the seventh time. Kyle Gregg, whose father Gary won the event 19 years ago, and Bajan co-driver Kreigg Yearwood celebrated a Jamaican one-two at the Vaucluse Raceway finish of BCIC RB25 on Sunday with Gregg’s fellow-countrymen Jeff Panton and Mike Fennell Jnr, whose run of four back-to-back victories had ended in 2018.

A record 122 cars from 14 countries will contest BCIC Rally Barbados (May 30-June 1), which starts under floodlights at Bushy Park in St Philip tomorrow evening (Friday). Last year’s winners Stuart Maloney and Kristian Yearwood are seeded at number one for the 35th edition of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event, which lists nearly 100 overseas drivers and co-drivers on the running order, published at last evening’s (Wednesday) Briefing Meeting at Savvy on the Bay, Bridgetown.

More than 120 cars, 50 from overseas, are listed on the running order published today (Thursday) for First Citizens King of the Hill (KotH), smashing last year’s record of 98 by more than 20 per cent. Drivers and co-drivers from 14 nations will contest Sunday’s (May 25) final shakedown ahead of BCIC Rally Barbados 2025 (May 30-June 1), the 35th edition of the Barbados Rally Club’s premier event.
