Island motor sport enthusiasts of all generations are mourning the loss of Brigid ‘Biddy’ Barber, who passed away at home yesterday (Tuesday) aged 75. Her active role in the sport began when she joined the Barbados Rally Club (BRC) as a 17-year-old in the 1960s and lasted well into her 70s, her passion and encouragement, particularly for newcomers, earning her the affectionate nickname ‘Rally Granny’.

Stuart Maloney drew closer to a second Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Champion Driver title on Sunday (August 25), winning both directions of the BRC Summer Sprint. His closest rival before the weekend Chris Hoad, who lost the title to Maloney after tie-break rules were invoked in 2021, shared the Clubman 2 class wins with Allan Kinch, so drifted a couple of points further behind.

Following his victory on last month’s BCIC Rally Barbados, Stuart Maloney leads the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) Champion Driver title chase after five out of eight rounds. More than 70 drivers have scored points as the 2024 BRC Driver’s & Class Championships passed the half-way point and some close battles are brewing, with eight class-leaders and five former Champion Drivers currently in the overall top 10.

After seven weeks away from the track, drivers in the Sectus Technologies Barbados Karting Association (BKA) Championship are eager to return to Bushy Park Barbados this Sunday (August 11) to start the second half of their season. With four more Race Meets in the next 12 weeks, the pressure is on to make every result count.
