About Us

The Barbados Motoring Federation is the governing body of motor sport for the country of Barbados.

Recognized by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile and the Government of Barbados, the BMF represents its eight member clubs across all disciplines.

The BMF is led by its President (currently Andrew Mallalieu), who is elected by the member clubs every three years. The object of the BMF is to develop motor sport and mobility in Barbados.

The Barbados Automobile Association was founded in Barbados in 1956. This association is focused on the mobility arm of motoring with particular emphasis on safety. The second club to be formed, in 1957, was the Barbados Rally Club, which held the FIA affiliation until the BMF was formed. By the turn of the millennium there were already six clubs operating across various disciplines of sport and mobility.

In 2000 all clubs came together to create the Barbados Motoring Federation. Today the Federation enjoys unity among its eight thriving members.
