Eighteen-year-old Joseph Knight is a name to watch in the BRSCC Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship. Backed by sponsor Delphi, Knight is making a strong showing in his second year in the series.
Knight’s racing journey began at the age of five with a go-kart gift from his motorsport-enthusiast father. This sparked a passion that has fueled his racing career ever since.
Knight’s talent shone through as he transitioned to car racing at 14. He achieved podium finishes and wins, quickly building a reputation. Despite challenges like COVID disruptions and mechanical issues, Knight showed his potential in the 2020 Fiesta Junior Championship.
Knight’s experience grew with his progression to the Fiesta Senior Championship in 2022. In 2023, he made his debut in the BRSCC Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship. Now, he’s back for a second year, piloting his powerful 240 bhp Mark VII ST 180 Fiesta.
“His journey began with a simple gift from his father, but his dedication and skill have transformed him into a true racing phenomenon,” said Raj Sangha, UK Marketing Manager at Delphi. “We’re proud to sponsor Joseph and witness his relentless pursuit of excellence in every race he conquers.”
Knight’s sights are set firmly on the future. He aims to make a significant impact as a racing driver and ultimately compete in the prestigious British Touring Car Championship and the legendary Le Mans race.
While acknowledging past setbacks, Knight emphasises the team’s progress and his focus on securing consistent results throughout the season. He sees this consistency as key to achieving podium finishes and potential wins.
