Josh Read is the new leader of the 2026 Barbados Rally2 Championship after winning a thrilling fifth-round battle for supremacy with Mark Maloney in the Motoring Club Barbados Inc's (MCBI) Rally of the Sun & Stars on Saturday (September 12).

The 2026 Barbados Rally2 Championship standings look set for a major shake-up on Saturday (September 12), when crews line up for round five as the Motoring Club Barbados Inc's (MCBI) Rally of the Sun & Stars returns to the island's motorsport calendar.

  While season five of the Barbados Motoring Federation (BMF) Championship has been the most competitive yet, with three different winners and three more drivers on the podium, five of the current top 10 are not driving this weekend.

Honours were shared in the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Double-Header Summer Sprint on Sunday (August 23).  Mark Maloney defeated Dane Skeete by eight-tenths of a second in the first run from Kendal in St John to Ellesmere in St George, but Skeete pipped Maloney to the post by just eight-hundredths in the reverse.

The Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Double-Header Summer Sprint on Sunday (August 23) looks set to play a crucial role in the outcome of the 2026 Driver’s & Class Championships. As the season draws to a close, with November’s Winter Rally the ninth and final round and a number of class leaders missing from the very healthy 49-car entry, the current standings are in for a shake-up after Sunday's two points-scoring opportunities.
