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.

With safety paramount at all times, motor sport made a stand against unruly spectators today (Sunday). Competitors cheered when the Motoring Club Barbados Inc (MCBI) abandoned Spring Blaze 26 half-way through, despite it bringing their opening weekend of the year to an abrupt halt.

  The decision was endorsed by the island’s governing body, the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF) and the Barbados Rally Club (BRC), which organises the island’s premier event, Rally Barbados.

Fraser McConnell, Jamaica’s most successful driver in international motorsport, will finally tick the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event off his bucket list this year. Having first visited more than a decade ago, he has entered BCIC RB26 (May 29-31) in a Team Frazzz Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX with Justin Morin as co-driver.
