Two former Champion Drivers are among the three joint leaders of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) overall points standings as teams prepare for First Citizens King of the Hill (May 24) and BCIC Rally Barbados 2026 (May 29-31), but there are new names rising up the order.

Champions were celebrated and volunteers thanked for their commitment to motor sport during a convivial evening as trophies and keepsakes were presented at the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Annual Prizegiving last Thursday (March 26).

  Competitors from the grass roots disciplines of Autocross and MudDogs off-road navigational events arrived at the BCTSA Clubhouse, Searles, Christ Church, to join rally crews following the Briefing Meeting for last Sunday’s Shakedown Rally.

Nine stages in the north of the island in Sunday’s (March 29) Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Shakedown Stages will give crews from home and abroad their first big test ahead of BCIC Rally Barbados 2026 (May 29-31). Fifty-one cars will line up for the first closed-road rally of the season.

  Seeded at number one in the running order published at last night’s (Thursday) Briefing Meeting at the BCTSA Clubhouse, Searles, Christ Church, is Jamaica’s Kyle Gregg (Ford Fiesta Rally2). Victories in BCIC RB25 and the BRC Winter Rally last October contributed to him winning the 4wd Championship.

With four race wins in the Easykart 60cc Cadet class in Sunday’s (March 22) second round, eight-year-old Edward Norris is the new leader of the 2026 Sectus Technologies Barbados Karting Association (BKA) Championship.

  Five drivers won races across the three classes and another nine claimed podium finishes in the 12-race programme during a hotly-competitive Crane & Equipment Raceday at Bushy Park Barbados, briefly interrupted near the end by heavy rain.
