Fleetmaxx Solutions is proud to support Dan Robinson in the 2025 BRSCC Fiesta ST240 Championship. The Championship is one of the most competitive tin-top series in the UK, but success in this high-speed battleground isn’t just about the driver – it’s also about the machine. For Dan Robinson, that machine is the formidable Ford Fiesta ST240, a purpose-built race car designed to push the limits of performance on some of the UK’s most iconic circuits.
A Purpose-Built Racing Machine
The Ford Fiesta ST240 isn’t just any Fiesta. While it may share its DNA with the road-going version, this track-prepared beast has been developed specifically for competition. Featuring a 1.6-litre turbocharged EcoBoost engine, the ST240 produces an impressive 240bhp – making it one of the most exciting and accessible race cars in club-level motorsport.
Key features of the ST240 include:
- Turbocharged Power – The 1.6L EcoBoost engine, tuned for performance, delivers rapid acceleration and a thrilling power band, making every lap a high-adrenaline experience.
- Quaife Limited Slip Differential (LSD) – The ST240 is fitted with a Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential, improving traction and control by optimising power delivery to the wheels.
- Close-Ratio Gearbox – Retaining the original gearbox with a mandatory Ford 4.3:1 final drive ratio kit, the ST240 offers precise shifting for maximum performance.
- Fully Adjustable Suspension – The car’s suspension is fine-tuned for maximum grip and stability, ensuring it can handle the tight corners and high-speed straights of circuits like Brands Hatch and Silverstone.
- Lightweight Chassis – With a stripped-down interior and racing-specific enhancements, the ST240 is designed to be lightweight and nimble, giving drivers the edge in close-quarters racing.
- Safety First – With a full FIA-approved roll cage, racing seat, and harnesses, the ST240 ensures driver safety while allowing for aggressive racing.
The Road to the ST240 Championship
The AIRTEC Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship is a single-make racing series within the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC). Introduced as an invitation class in 2020 and earning official championship status in 2021, the ST240 cars quickly became a key fixture in British motorsport.
The championship serves as a natural progression for young drivers graduating from the Fiesta Junior Championship, providing an ideal stepping stone for those aiming to break into major national series such as the BTCC, TCR UK, or British GT Championship. This series is designed to give drivers of all ages and experience levels the opportunity to compete on an even playing field, promoting driving skill and car setup abilities.
All cars in the championship must run specific mandatory parts, including AST Suspension, Goodyear slick and wet tyres, and EBC Brakes, ensuring a level of uniformity in the competition. The cars used are the Mk7 Ford Fiesta ST180, modified to achieve the 240bhp output, hence the “ST240” designation.
Dan’s Journey with JamSport
At the start of 2025, Dan competed in the JamSport Mini Challenge Scholarship, going up against 50 drivers in a highly competitive selection process. After an outstanding performance, he secured 2nd place—an achievement that didn’t go unnoticed.
Following the event, JamSport reached out with an incredible opportunity: an invitation to race for them in the Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship. This marked a huge step forward in Dan’s career, and he seized the chance to join the well-established team.
Dan’s rise in motorsport has been rapid. With no prior karting experience, he made his racing debut in 2022—just months after passing his driving test. From the moment he got behind the wheel, he showed natural talent, setting lap records and securing podium finishes early in his career. Now, with JamSport backing him in 2025, he’s ready to push for championship glory.
