George Wicken lived in Kent and ran the family business which included a dairy in Maidstone. He was also part of the Jezreels religious group.

George was one of the most regular competitors in Formula 3 from 1950 to 1956, mainly in his Cooper Mk V with the motto "C'est Si Bon" on its nose. Always well placed but only winning occasionally. He would progress to Formula II and an occasional Formula 1 drive. Notable results include a third at Silverstone in June 1950, followed immediately by a win in the heats at Brands, a pair of seconds in the supporting races to the 100 mile race at Silverstone in July and a third in the final at Brands in the same month. In August he got an two outright wins at Brands including the daily Telegraph Trophy.

In April 1952 he won the London Trophy at Brands Hatch followed by a win in the handicap race in May and a second, to Bob Gerard at the Goodwood Whitsun meeting. July brought a win at Fairwood. He won the sprint race at the Easter Brands meeting in '53 and continued to be the near right through to 1956 totalling over 80 results in all.
