News - Popular Motoring Fiesta Championship

Our Ford Fiesta racing championship goes from strength to strength, providing close, exciting racing at every event.

Sawbridge driver David Grimshaw in the Gould Racing car led after five rounds with 41 points, but Gordon Spice runner Charles Tippet was only one point behind and Jim Edwards in the MJ Ireland car third with 38 points.

However, the current man to beat is Stafford driver Rob Hall, with three wins in the past three races, Rob was excluded from the Snetterton first round for course cutting and from Brands for having an underweight car, but is fighting back, and with 12 rounds still to go at the time of writing anything could happen.
