From King of the Hill to Rally Week, Barbados prepares for one of the most unique events in the World Series of TER 2026.
Everything is set for the spectacular days of action at the BCIC Rally Barbados, the second round of the TER Series, the World Series of TER 2026.
Engines are already warming up on the island, as this weekend’s traditional First Citizens King of the Hill event officially kicks off the 2026 edition.
This iconic hillclimb-style competition, packed with fans and atmosphere, serves as a thrilling opening act. In fact, it is almost like a qualifying stage, leading into the main rally next week.
Now in its fourth year as part of the TER Series, the World Series of TER, BCIC Rally Barbados continues to stand out as one of the most fascinating events on the calendar.
The island itself, the passionate crowds, the unique special stages, and the overall atmosphere make it a truly unforgettable experience.
It is an event that every rally enthusiast, and every driver, should experience at least once to fully understand its magic.
The rally made its debut in the TER Series back in 2023, the inaugural year of the TER global series, when Hayden Paddon claimed victory on his way to becoming the series champion.
The 2026 edition features a high-quality entry list, with top-level drivers and cars ready to deliver an exciting show. This takes place on the island country in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, in the Caribbean region of the Americas.
Looking at the championship standings, the 2026 TER Series began in April with the Central Machine Hire Otago Rally in Dunedin, New Zealand, another unique and spectacular event.
That opening round featured top names such as Kris Meeke, Mads Østberg, Toby Price, and many more.
Victory, along with the lead in the World Series of TER, went to Jack Stokes and Hayden Graves in their Škoda Fabia Rally2.
Returning to Barbados, the action now moves to Bushy Park circuit, where the Rally will launch the week’s festivities ahead of King of the Hill. Afterward, the focus shifts to the BCIC Rally Barbados itself next weekend.
