The final day of Rally Barbados 2025 began with high expectations and tight competition. Leading the rally at the beginning of the day were Stuart Maloney and co-driver Kristian Yearwood, winners of the 2024 edition and this year’s King of the Hill. Close behind were Kyle Gregg and Kreigg Yearwood, trailing by just 15.37 seconds. In third place were Jeffrey Panton and Michael Fennell Jr., 24.58 seconds off the lead.
However, the rally took an unexpected turn during Stage 15 at Mount Poyer. Maloney and Yearwood were involved in a crash that forced them out of the race. Thankfully, neither was seriously injured, but their hopes of winning were dashed.
With some stages cancelled throughout the day, the final standings were confirmed after a tough battle. Kyle Gregg and Kreigg Yearwood took first place with a total time of 1:03:42.52. Just 12.16 seconds behind, Jeffrey Panton and Michael Fennell Jr. secured second place. Josh Read and Mark Jordan completed the podium in third, finishing 19.48 seconds behind the winners.
Another standout performance came from two-time European Rally Champion Simon Jean-Joseph. Returning to Barbados for the first time since 2016, he drove a Porsche 991 GT3 Cup and finished fifth overall. He also claimed first place in the Open R-GT category.
Rally Barbados 2025 ended with excitement, surprises, and top-class driving from both local and international competitors.
