Maggie Webster

Maggie Webster is a seventeen-year-old British saloon car racer from Kent who made history as the first female to secure pole position in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship, proving she’s got the speed and the stones to compete at the sharp end of ultra-competitive tin-top racing.

EARLY YEARS

Racing is quite literally in Maggie’s blood. Her grandfather was a prominent saloon car championship driver and Monte Carlo rally participant during the 1970s and 1980s, so she grew up knowing what proper motorsport looked like. From Kent, she’s one of three siblings and credits her parents with providing unwavering support as she’s carved out her own path in a sport still dominated by boys. Her brother Albert isn’t exactly slouching either—he finished third in the 2022 BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship before moving up the ladder, so sibling rivalry at the Webster household probably involves more than just who gets the last biscuit.

OTHER INTERESTS

Beyond the track, Webster has been the subject of a documentary titled “Pole Position,” which dives deep into her career and captures the raw thrill of what it takes to compete in motorsport as a young female driver. She’s also honed her skills at the SIM Motorsport Race School, where she set multiple lap records during coaching sessions and secured wins in the coveted competitions there, proving that her talent translates across both virtual and real-world racing.

EARLY SUCCESS

Webster cut her teeth in autograss racing before transitioning to circuit racing, and the results speak for themselves. In 2023, she was crowned Invicta Kent Junior Saloon Champion and also took home the overall Invicta Kent Champion title—a statement-making achievement that signaled she was ready for bigger grids and faster machinery. By 2024, she’d won her autograss club’s Ladies Class 1 championship while simultaneously making her debut in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship. That rookie season saw her finish second in the MK6 class overall, a remarkable result for someone just getting started in proper circuit racing. She made an immediate impact at Silverstone in her debut round, claiming a class victory and two top-10 finishes overall—the kind of entrance that makes people sit up and pay attention.

INSPIRATIONS

Webster’s grandfather remains a central influence—watching him compete in saloon car championships and tackle the legendary Monte Carlo Rally gave her both a blueprint and the belief that she belonged in racing. Her brother Albert’s success in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship also provided a roadmap for what was possible, though she’s clearly carved her own identity on track rather than simply following in anyone’s tire tracks.

REPUTATION

Webster has earned respect for her consistency and racecraft. She maintained a 100% finishing record throughout her 2025 campaign and regularly battled into overall top-10 positions while competing in the Am class. Her historic pole position at Silverstone wasn’t a fluke—she backed it up with strong performances at Thruxton, Donington Park, and Oulton Park, consistently securing class podiums and proving she can wheel a 240-horsepower Ford Fiesta with the best of them. Competitors know she won’t back down, and her ability to extract pace from the car while keeping it clean has made her a driver to watch in the highly competitive BRSCC series.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

For 2025, Webster stepped up to the AIRTEC Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship with JRW Motorsport, competing in the Mark 7 Ford Fiesta that produces up to 240 BHP on Goodyear racing slicks. The championship boasts capacity grids and ultra-competitive racing across iconic British circuits. She’s already shown strong pace throughout the season, securing podiums and continuing to refine her craft at venues like Oulton Park, Donington Park, and Silverstone. With a full season under her belt in the ST240 series, expect Webster to keep pushing toward overall victories and building on her already impressive trajectory in British motorsport.
