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.

Bushy Park is playing a key role in the staging of BCIC Rally Barbados 2025, the Caribbean’s biggest motor sport international. Over the next two weeks, more than one-third of the record entry of 126 cars will be based in the pits at the St Philip facility, which is also the administrative hub of the event, while five special stages – two under floodlights on the first night - will provide thrills a-plenty for fans.
