The BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship really is the affordable
way to go motor racing and is the perfect starting point for those
coming into the sport for the first time. There is a plentiful supply
of Mk1s ready to race but even if you want to build your own car,
donor cars are readily available and cheap to buy and convert.

The season starts on the Silverstone National circuit in April but
the main highlight of the year will undoubtedly be the May
double-header on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit. Other
popular circuits such as Castle Combe, Rockingham & Oulton
Park are also on the schedule before the season reaches a
dramatic conclusion with the now traditional triple-header at
Donington Park in October.
Fuel (races & travel) £1,200
All of the events will feature 20-minute qualifying sessions and
20-minute races and will be broadcast on Motors TV throughout
the season. The BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship will also
feature a dedicated Race Centre at all championship rounds. This
will be the focal point of the championship in the paddock and
will enable all competitors and team owners a meeting point to
socialise.

With tightly controlled regulations and few modifications allowed,
the Mazda MX-5 Mk1 is a great entry route into club motorsport as
the Mazda MX-5 has proved to be a very popular choice with
competitors looking for affordable and competitive racing.
