“Unfinished business” for Swann in Rally Barbados

Britain’s Rob Swann is aiming to deal with “unfinished business” at BCIC Rally Barbados 2026 (May 29-31). The last of his four second-placed finishes in the island’s premier event came in RB20 to the late Ken Block and he is bringing back the Ford Fiesta WRC that he drove that year, winning the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) 4wd Championship.

His Fiesta is part of a second consecutive record-breaking consignment of rally cars from Europe – 38 this year, 35 in 2025 – which left Portsmouth on the south coast of England this morning (Monday) on the Geest Line freighter CS Quality.

Youngster Ava Mayers rewrites BKA history books

With three race wins in the Easykart 60cc Cadet class in Sunday’s (April 26) third round of the 2026 Sectus Technologies Barbados Karting Association (BKA) Championship, 11-year-old Ava Mayers wrote her name into the BKA’s Roll of Honour.

She was top 60cc raceday points-scorer, and overall too, the first female karter to achieve this in the Club’s 40-year history. While successful female racers have topped their class on raceday - Kayleigh Catwell did twice when she finished second to Calem Maloney in 100cc in 2018 – overall raceday top-scorer is a BKA female first.
