record 122 cars from 14 countries will contest BCIC Rally Barbados, which begins under the floodlights at Bushy Park, St Philip, on Friday evening.
Last year’s winners, Stuart Maloney and Kristian Yearwood, are seeded number one for the 35th edition of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event, with nearly 100 overseas drivers and co-drivers listed on the running order, released at Wednesday’s Briefing Meeting at Savvy on the Bay, Bridgetown.
Following his victory in Sunday’s First Citizens King of the Hill in his Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, Maloney has now won both Rally Barbados and KotH as a driver and co-driver. He now has a new target: becoming only the second Barbadian to win both events in the same year, a feat achieved just once—by Roger Skeete in 2011.
Seeded second is Skeete’s son Dane, who will campaign the Subaru Impreza WRC S12 that his father drove to the 2011 double. Alongside co-driver Tyler Mayhew, the younger Skeete is aiming for a third Rally Barbados win after previous victories in 2019 and 2022, which would also mark a sixth win for the car itself.
