HILL TOP BADNESS RETURNS FOR “CLASH OF TITANS” ON OCTOBER 11
MANCHESTER, Jamaica — Jamaica’s tarmac hill-climb action returns to Old Melrose Hill Main Road on Sunday, October 11, 2026, as Hill Top Badness stages Round 2, dubbed “Clash of Titans.” Following its inaugural staging on May 3, the event will once again put drivers and machines to the test on the challenging Melrose Hill course, with competitors battling the clock through technical corners, elevation changes and high-speed sections. The event features individual timed sprint runs across multiple vehicle classes, catering to street-tuned cars, circuit builds, rally cars and drift setups. Beyond the racing, spectators can expect dedicated viewing areas, food vendors, music, entertainment and a Kids Village featuring rides and activities for younger fans. Safety and traffic management will be central to the event, with the course operating under controlled road-closure and spectator-management arrangements. Nicholas “Tazz” Barnes claimed the inaugural crown and took it back to the Bay. On October 11, he returns to defend his title. One Hill. One Mission. One Crown.
