New Fiesta ST Racing Championship<br />
Fiesta ST<br />
had the following to say about the introduction<br />
of the new series. “The class will provide<br />
a stepping stone for current Fiesta drivers<br />
and new drivers who want to go racing on a<br />
limited budget. The rules both technical and<br />
sporting will be water tight and the idea is that<br />
talent and close racing will be the winner”.<br />
Starting in 2016 the Fiesta ST Series will run<br />
alongside the current Fiesta class at all Mondello<br />
Park Car Race events and like the original<br />
championship it will remain under the control of<br />
Mondello Park. The championship will be open<br />
to standard versions of the Fiesta ST 150 model<br />
which were built as ST’s between 2004 and 2008.<br />
A new series for more powerful Fiesta ST models will<br />
be sponsored by leading Tyre Trade supplier Patch Tyre<br />
Equipment.<br />
The current championship for 1250cc Fiestas has brought<br />
many new and returning drivers into regular competition<br />
and some of those drivers have expressed a desire to move on<br />
to something a bit quicker, but still as cost effective. The new<br />
Fiesta ST series will offer that progression, while sticking with a<br />
near standard car and tightly controlled regulations.<br />
Long time Saloon and now Fiesta racer, Barry Barrable,<br />
initiated the efforts to get the new series up and running, he<br />
