Stuart Maloney heads into next month’s final round of the 2024 Barbados Rally Club (BRC) Driver’s and Class Championships leading the Champion Driver title chase. With a near-perfect record of FIA R5 class wins, his total of 118 points gives him a five-point cushion over Clubman 2 (C2) class leader Chris Hoad ahead of the high-scoring BRC Winter Rally on November 17.The Double-Header BRC Summer Sprint in August caused a major shake-up in the overall top 10. Only Maloney and Hoad held their positions, while Rhett Watson and Kurt Thompson were the big winners, climbing from equal ninth to third and fifth respectively, extending their leads in the SuperModified 2 (SM2) and Modified 4 (M4) classes.As always, the season finale will benefit from an enhanced scoring system - 28 points for a win compared with 20, then 23 for second place, 20 for third, and so on down to 10 for 10th place – so there is still much to be settled. In addition, there is one dropped score this year, which adds further spice to the final reckoning.
