Rounds 11 & 12 Preview

Miata Trophy’s 2025 season is on the home straight, with Cadwell Park set to host the penultimate meeting of the championship’s season on Saturday 6 September.

The tremendous circuit, nestled within the Lincolnshire Wolds, is one that offers a variety of challenges that competitors will have to master if they’re to come away with a strong points haul.

A large number of undulation changes add to what is already a tricky 18-corner layout, with the likes of ‘Gooseneck’ and ‘The Mountain’ standout tests. The section of track containing the tight, twisting ‘Hall Bends’, along with the ‘Hairpin’ and ‘Barn’ should not be taken lightly, as it’s instrumental in ensuring that competitors both end start their lap in as strong fashion possible.

While Rounds 11 & 12 at Cadwell Park will certainly challenge, they will also reward. Those drivers who demonstrate well-thought out and consistent race craft will likely find themselves in the battle for the podium trophies and the big point-scoring positions, at a crucial time in the championship.

As things stand, Hills Motorsport’s Aidan Hills is the driver to beat at the top of the Miata Trophy standings. The #8 driver recorded an impressive double victory at Oulton Park last time out and will be looking to continue in a similar vein in Lincolnshire, to remain the driver on top when the championship heads into its Brands Hatch finale in November.  

However, there are a number of previous race winners and podium finishers on the early Cadwell Park entry list all looking to challenge Hills at the front.

Amongst those are James Cossins, Declan Lee, Jack Brewer and Oliver Allwood, who all sit finely poised within the top five of the championship standings. Reigning Champion John Langridge and teammate Alex Miller are two more who know what it takes to finish on the podium and set to feature, alongside a host of other drivers all keen to make their mark.

To add to the excitement of Miata Trophy’s penultimate meeting, the championship will be taking centre stage at Cadwell Park for one of the circuit’s feature events. Cult Classics celebrates the unique charm and character of the most beloved classic motors, meaning there will be an eclectic mix of shows cars and spectators in attendance on the day.

We can’t wait!
