Ireland’s most successful co-driver Paul Nagle, who twice won Rally Barbados with Kris Meeke, returns to the event this year as the International Safety Delegate. Since retiring in 2022, Nagle has taken a keen interest in the organisational aspects of the sport and has recently been appointed as the FIA Sporting Delegate and Observer for 10 of the 14 rounds of this year’s European Rally Trophy.

The Barbados Rally Club (BRC) confirmed today (Friday) that the First Citizens Group will be title sponsor of King of the Hill (KotH) for the third year. The event, which will run on Sunday, May 26, uses a modified version of last year’s stage in the south-east corner of the island and also marks the launch of the Rally Experience, which will be sited at Society Plantation in St John.

Josh Read won the second round of the 2024 Barbados Rally2 Championship sponsored by CIBC Caribbean on Sunday (April 28), holding off a determined late charge by first round winner Kyle Gregg of Jamaica to win by just 1.96 seconds. Britain’s Rob Swann finished third, while championship newcomer Adam Mallalieu impressed the huge turn-out of spectators – and his fellow-drivers – with his raw pace.
