LEWIS ISLIN WINS 2025 BRSCC FIESTA JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP
The British Racing & Sports Car Club is thrilled to announce LEWIS ISLIN as the 2025 Fiesta Junior Scholarship winner.
Held over three days at Blyton Park, the competition saw around fifty young drivers competing for a funded season in the 2025 Fiesta Junior Championship. Over Monday & Tuesday, participants were tested through track driving, fitness assessments, and media interviews, leading to twelve competitors to go through to Wednesday’s final (six from each day). Touring car stars Josh Cook, Jade Edwards, Jack Mitchell, Max Coates and Danny Buxton served as the instructors and judges, selecting standout drivers to progress through each stage.
Motorsport presenter Richard John Neil led the media interviews, offering feedback on off-track performance, while So Fit Group conducted the fitness tests. Wednesday’s final shoot-out saw the final twelve further reduced to a top six to compete one last time in the afternoon, but in the end it took an additional shootout between two drivers to break the deadlock after the final result was too close to call. With chief instructor Josh Cook alongside them both on their final runs, it was Lewis Islin that ultimately secured the win and was named the Fiesta Junior Scholarship winner for 2025.
Lewis’s prize includes a full season of racing in a Ford Fiesta Mk7 Zetec junior race car, covering entry fees, BRSCC membership, championship registration, ARDS training, and testing. He will also receive mentorship from Josh Cook, a pre-event simulator program from SIM Motorsport, and a P1 Racewear race suit and Stilo helmet courtesy of Nicky Grist Motorsport, along with race team support, tyres, and consumables—a prize package worth over £65,000.
The BRSCC extends its sincere thanks to all participants, families, friends, judges, and Scholarship partners for their hard work and efforts, as well as Blyton Park and TSL Timing for their essential support across all three days.
The 2025 Fiesta Junior Championship season begins on the 5th/6th April 2025 at Snetterton, Norfolk. For more information on how to join, visit the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship’s dedicated Formulae page on the BRSCC website.
