Barbados-based motorsport organization Bushy Park Motorsports Inc. (BPMSI) has announced a targeted restructuring of its senior leadership team, a strategic move designed to boost preparations for the highly anticipated GT Challenge de las Americas, set to take place at the venue on August 29 and 30. In the executive reshuffle, two-time national champion Neil “Shocky” Corbin has stepped into the role of chairman, while prominent karting community leader Jamal Estwick has been appointed vice-chairman. Corbin, who claimed top honors at the St. Philip circuit in 1998 and 2000 as a competitive Group 3B racer, brings a unique blend of on-track prowess and off-track administrative experience to the new post. After departing from active motorsport leadership several years ago to prioritize his family and professional business commitments, Corbin has maintained close ties to the local racing community, following every development in the sport closely. Now returning to lead the organization, he expressed enthusiasm for reconnecting with longtime colleagues and steering the club into its next chapter. “We have laid out solid, actionable plans to capitalize on the momentum generated by the arrival of the GT Challenge,” Corbin said in a statement following his appointment. “Watch this space for exciting updates as we move forward.” For his part, new vice-chairman Estwick is no stranger to grassroots motorsport development in Barbados. He is one of the founding members of Track Champs Motorsport Barbados (TCMB), a community-focused collective that brings together racing enthusiasts of all skill levels. Over recent years, the group has provided consistent opportunities for new and experienced drivers alike to refine their abilities through regular competitive events hosted at the Bushy Park Karting Experience. In a nod to continuity amid the reshuffle, long-serving Competition Secretary Kurt Seabra will retain his position, while immediate past chairman Sean Maloney will remain on the organization’s board of directors to provide institutional knowledge and transition support. BPMSI officials confirmed that three additional board positions are still open, and the organization will work to fill these roles over the coming weeks as final preparations for the August international event accelerate. The leadership shakeup comes as Barbados gears up to host one of the most high-profile regional motorsport events of the year, drawing competitors and fans from across the Americas to the Bushy Park facility.
