The Siltex Safety Fiesta Championship may be a budget class, but in recent times, it has proven to be one of the most competitive series’ on the TengTools ICCR programme.
In 2025, Sean McGovern was incredibly impressive, doing almost all of the winning, not only clinching the title with three rounds to spare, but also receiving a nomination, and subsequently progressing to the final three for the Sport Ireland/Motorsport Ireland Young Driver of the Year award. For 2026, the Dubliner has signed with Area Motorsport to tackle the highly competitive UK Miltek Civic Cup.
Sean McGovern, 2025 Siltex Safety Fiesta Zetec Champion: “I’m so happy to be on the grid for the 2026 Milltek Civic Cup and can’t wait to get started on my preparations for the new season. Having raced in Ireland so far during my career, I’m looking forward to a full season of racing on tracks around the UK, which will be a new and exciting experience for me. I’m looking to get as much seat time as I can next year to get ahead of the game and prepare myself for the challenge ahead. Working with Area Motorsport is a great starting point, giving me the chance to work towards my aim of ending the year inside the top three of the championship and adding some race winners’ trophies to the cabinet.”
The 2026 Milltek Civic Cup kicks off on April 4/5 on the famous Brands Hatch Indy circuit and the calendar includes Thruxton, Pembrey, Snetterton, Donington, Oulton Park before returning to Brands for the finale at the start of November.
