GRRL! SUMMARY:

Three women are making their mark in the Vinyl Detail Fiesta ST150 Challenge this season, and at Silverstone’s penultimate round, STEPH SORE and SOPHIE KINGHORN both cracked the top-10. SORE qualified an impressive sixth but got hit with a track limits penalty that knocked her from fifth to seventh in race one. Meanwhile, KINGHORN delivered on her Silverstone debut with a brilliant sixth-place finish in race two after methodically working her way up the field.
SOPHIE KINGHORN has been the breakout star of the trio, stepping up from Scotland’s regional series to sit eighth in the championship standings. Her Silverstone weekend showcased exactly why – she grabbed her first podium at Cadwell Park earlier this season and followed it up with consistent top-10 pace at the home of British motorsport. JADE GOODWIN might not have the flashiest results, but she’s been rock-solid all year, sitting in the championship top-10 and adding crucial points with clean, smart racing.
The women have been proving themselves in one of Britain’s most competitive and cost-effective single-make series, battling identical MK6 Ford Fiestas against 23-car fields. SORE’s partial campaign has still netted her two top-5 finishes when she shows up, while GOODWIN bounced back from Cadwell Park misfortune to gain seven positions at Snetterton and score her breakthrough eighth-place finish at Oulton Park. With one round left at Brands Hatch, these three have established themselves as serious contenders in a series that doesn’t hand out participation trophies.
