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.

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.

Sunday’s (April 28) BRC Shakedown Stages has attracted an entry of more than 60 crews, a record number for the season's first closed-road event of the Barbados Rally Club Driver’s & Class Championships. With eight overseas drivers flying into the island for some seat time on local roads ahead of BCIC Rally Barbados and 12 cars entered in the FIA R5 class – also a record for a National event – a thrilling day is in prospect.
