Fiesta championship makes class changes
A change to the class structure of the British Racing and Sports Car Club’s Fiesta Championship has been made to increase competition at the front of the field.
Previously running four classes for models of various ages, the series will now be headlined by a Championship class for the Mk6 ST and Mk7 Zetec S models. The older Mk3 Si and Mk5 Zetec versions will comprise a new Classic class.
Tuning specialist Pumaspeed has developed a new ECU map and cams which, together with a revised airbox and lower minimum weight, will give the Zetec S a power-toweight ratio similar to the ST.
Multiple class winner Jon Cooper’s Zetec S is the first to be fitted with the upgrade kit and will test at Brands Hatch this month.
Cooper said: “It may be a bit of trial and error for the first few rounds but everybody’s pulling in the same direction.”
