Miata Trophy - About the Championship

Jinba ittai, meaning horse and rider in perfect harmony, is the Japanese principle on which the MX-5 was conceived. Manufactured by Mazda in Japan, the MX-5 has become the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car of all time, and a staple roadster worldwide. Nothing over-complicated, just well designed and made.

Now, with the creation of Miata Trophy, third and fourth generation MX-5s will do battle in a fierce competition that offers drivers plenty on and off the track. The classification for cars fighting for the championship derives from the two-letter manufacturer chassis codes. NC class will provide the platform for third generation MX-5s to compete, with ND offering the same for fourth generation vehicles.

Used around the globe as an alternative title for the Mazda MX-5, the word ‘Miata’ derives from the Old High German for ‘reward’ and both NC and ND class drivers will be well-rewarded in success, with a number of prizes offered throughout the campaign.

FORMAT:

A 15 minute qualifying session, sets the grid for race one, with race two taking the same initial positions, but with the top ten reversed! Once the grids are set competitors will vie for victory across two sprint races, providing plenty of thrilling on-track action.

CLASSES:

• Class NC;                            Mk3 Mazda MX-5
• Class ND;                            Mk4 Mazda MX-5   
• Class ND Maxi:                   Mk4 Mazda MX-5 (with non-compliant suspension, gearbox, or camshaft)

CHAMPIONSHIP:

Three classes - three class winners. 

The three 2025 class championship winners will win a prize drive as part of a team in a pre-selected 2026 EnduroKA event - typically the 12 Heures du Norfolk at Snetterton!
