2025 BKA championship enters final stretch as title battle heats up

The 2025 Sectus Technologies Barbados Karting Association (BKA) Championship is entering its decisive phase, with the final two rounds set to determine the ultimate victors. The penultimate Round Six is scheduled for October 19 at Bushy Park Barbados, followed by the season finale on November 16, promising an electrifying conclusion to this year’s competition.

In the Easykart 125cc class, Calem Maloney dominates the leaderboard with an impressive 17 wins out of 20 races, positioning him for a potential fourth consecutive title. However, competitors like reigning champion Jacob Mayers, his cousin Zak, and Cody Mark remain formidable challengers. Aaron Blackett, known for his consistency, currently holds second place in the class standings.

The Easykart 60cc Cadet class has seen fierce rivalry between Jordyn Hinkson and Jaydn Brathwaite. Hinkson leads by 80 points, but the gap narrows to just 13 when accounting for dropped scores. Hinkson’s Round Four clean sweep, achieved in Brathwaite’s absence, remains a highlight of the season. Meanwhile, young talents like Edward Norris, Finn Cox, Shamir Eversley, Ava Mayers, and Jaylan Priddee have consistently delivered top-tier performances, showcasing the high standard of junior karting in Barbados.

BKA Chairman Barry Mayers praised the young drivers, noting their remarkable progress and the influx of new talent, many under the age of ten. He emphasized the positive impact on the sport’s future.

With a maximum of 200 points still up for grabs, the championship remains wide open. The upcoming rounds at Bushy Park Barbados will undoubtedly deliver thrilling races as drivers vie for glory in their respective classes.
