Vinyl Detail Fiesta ST150 Challenge 2025
Round 1 - Snetterton (5th/6th April)
It was a double header weekend for us at the opening round of the 2025 season as I competed in the the ST240 and ST150 championship’s.
The weekend kicked off this qualifying where I strung a strong lap together putting myself 3rd for race 1 in my debut race in the ST150.
Race 1 saw me move up the front pack to take 2nd. Race 2 was a similar story, I took 2nd place once again. Race 3 is always interesting with the top 6 being reversed. Staring 5th didn’t stop me charging back up to the front where I finished 2nd again.
A hat-rick of 2nd places in my debut ST150 weekend, a very successful opening weekend to my ST150 campaign.
Round 2 - Mallory Park (17th/18th May)
A weekend of running in the front pack. Qualifying saw me start race 1 from 5th on the grid. A great opening few laps saw me climb up to the 3rd step of the podium. After 3 laps were complete the red flags came out and the race was brought to an early end. Race 2 was up next, starting 3rd on the grid I was hopeful to progress. Unfortunately, the race didn’t go quite to plan and I crossed the line in 5th position. Never the less, another front running weekend and a great points haul for the championship.
Round 3 - Anglesey (7th/8th June)
We made the trip over to Wales for another double header weekend.
A top 10 qualifying meant we were in the fight to move forward from 7th on the grid. Race 1 started well, I quickly made up 5 places to 4th. Unfortunately, the race was then red flagged and restarted. The second start wasn’t as strong and I came across the line in 7th. Race 2 was a battle, I moved up into 5th during the early stages. As the top 6 broke away from the rest of the field we broke off into pairs out in front. As the race progressed everything settled and I finished the race in 6th.
A reverse grid for race 3 saw me start from the front row of the grid in 2nd. There was a lot of pushing a shoving in the initial lap of the race, dropping me back to 4th. As the race continued on I gave a good fight to the quicker drivers starting behind, ending the race in 6th position.
Consistent results and a good points haul for the championship.
Round 4 - Oulton Park (12th July)
It was a day of consistency at Outlon Park. Qualifying on the front row of the grid in 2nd position. We maintained that front running pace in race 1 and brought home the win. Race 2 was another front row start and yet another 1st place finish. Consistency is key when your in the title fight and we came away from Oulton with a good points haul for the championship.
Round 5 - Cadwell Park (9th/10th August)
A winning weekend!
The weekend started off strong, showing front running pace and qualifying pole for race 1. I led from the front in race 1 and brought it home in 1st place, starting the weekend off with a win. Race 2 was a similar story, crossing the line in 1st place and making it 2 wins out of 3 so far. A reverse grid in race 3 had me starting down in 7th but that was no problem as I quickly made my way to the front of the pack to make it a hat-rick of wins.
A strong weekend at Cadwell has extended my championship lead to 68 points as we head to the penultimate round at Silverstone.
Round 6 - Silverstone National (27th/28th September)
As we head into the penultimate weekend of the championship we lead by 68 points, meaning that this weekends mission is to extend that lead ahead of the season finale at Brands Hatch at the end of October.
The weekend set off to a rocky start with George riddled with cold. However, that didn’t stop him from securing 3rd position in qualifying. Race 1 saw George maintain that 3rd place position as he finished the race on the podium. Race 2 was a similar story with another strong 3rd place finish.
Podiums are points and points win prizes!
Despite not feeling 100% George still managed to maintain his podium finishing pace and scored good championship points.
