There’s not long to wait until the next helping of Miata Trophy, with Oulton Park welcoming the Mazda MX-5 championship on Saturday 28 September for the penultimate race meeting of the 2024 season.
With just four races remaining, the importance of each and every point grows in magnitude. Drivers will be keen to finish the season strongly, all the while knowing that a single mistake could have a detrimental effect on their position in the championship standings.
As things stand, Miller Motorsport’s John Langridge is the driver to beat. After six race meetings, the #5 driver has amassed a small buffer to reigning champion Declan Lee and Nicholas Stott behind. However, four races is plenty of time for that to change and Langridge will be looking to continue in the same fine form that he has shown throughout the year at Oulton Park to maintain the championship lead heading into the season finale.

Oulton Park’s International circuit offers plenty in the way of both charm and beauty. Nestled in a breathtaking parkland setting, the circuit utilises its undulation and contours to create a track that will offer plenty in the way of driver experience – particularly when in a Mazda MX-5!
The banked Shell Oils Corner provides a unique challenge, while tricky chicanes Brittens and Hislops will test both NC Class and ND Class cars and drivers.
At Miata Trophy’s debut visit to Oulton Park in 2023, Declan Lee was in top form. The Hills Motorsport driver recorded back-to-back victories at the Cheshire circuit, while also setting the fastest time in SuperPole. Lee will now be hoping to replicate last year’s successes to close the gap in the championship standings.
