MORGAN KIDD Survives Contact to Score Breakthrough Podium at Brands Hatch

October 27, 2025

• MORGAN KIDD broke through for her first podium finish in Fiesta ST240, claiming third place after surviving contact in the group behind race leaders Gary Miller and Alastair Kellett. While the front-runners went clear, KIDD proved her racecraft by staying clean when others were “exchanging paint and bashing wing mirrors” – exactly the kind of smart driving that separates podium finishers from also-rans.
• The Brands Hatch Festival delivered typical touring car chaos across multiple Fiesta championships, with wheel-shedding incidents causing red flags and weather adding another layer of complexity. KIDD’s breakthrough came in conditions where experience and patience mattered more than pure pace, showing she’s developing the complete skillset needed to compete at this level consistently.
• While male drivers dominated most of the weekend’s headlines across various categories – from Formula Ford 1600’s tensely close finishes to Production Cup drama – KIDD’s podium represents the kind of steady progress we need to see more of. Her ability to capitalize when others made mistakes while keeping her own nose clean suggests this won’t be her last trip to the champagne.
