Barbadian rally driver Josh Read and his co-driver Mark Jordan will be dawning new skin for the First Citizens King Of The Hill and BCIC Rally Barbados 2025 and beyond.

Read burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s piloting a Toyota Starlet from the 1980s. He collected many class wins and had epic battles with Roger and Barry Mayers and Rhett Watson over the years.

Then, in 2021 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he emerged with a first generation Fiesta R5, which he piloted for four years.

He was absent from the first few events of the new season and then last weekend, he re-emerged with a new chariot – the latest edition of his previous machine, a Ford Fiesta Rally2.
