Stuart Maloney and Kristian Yearwood lead the field of 43 cars entered for the final round of the 2024 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Driver’s and Class Championships in the Skoda Fabia RS Rally2 in which they won BCIC Rally Barbados. With the now-customary enhanced points structure in place for Sunday’s (November 17) BRC Winter Rally and overall and class champions yet to be crowned, a hot day of competition is anticipated.

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.

Stuart Maloney and Kristian Yearwood won last weekend’s BCIC Rally Barbados 2024, Maloney the first participant to win the Caribbean’s biggest annual motor sport international as both driver and co-driver. A passing weather system with frequent and unpredictable rain showers made the 21 special stages hugely challenging for the record number of 100 crews who started the 34th edition of the Barbados Rally Club’s (BRC) premier event under floodlights at Bushy Park on Friday evening (May 31).
