Miata Trophy returns, with Rounds 7 & 8 for the 2026 season, taking place on the Anglesey Coastal circuit on Saturday 1 August!
When the championship last visited Anglesey back in 2024, it was Declan Lee and John Langridge who shared the spoils. This year the pair will be seeking a repeat of that success as they aim to close the gap to championship leaders James Cossins, and Oliver Allwood. Despite the pace of the championship leaders, Lee and Langridge will arrive at the Welsh circuit with some confidence however, as they remain the only drivers on the grid to have won a Miata Trophy championship race at Anglesey!
The Anglesey Coastal configuration is a complex circuit that flows with the natural geography of the land, while showing off the stunning scenery - drivers will certainly have a tough job keeping their eyes on the track ahead! Though the thrill of racing down through the Corkscrew, back onto the main straight, will certainly help them focus on the job in hand.
Also present are some key late-braking, overtaking opportunities, particularly into the Banking (turn two) and Rocket, while Turn 1 and Church will further test driver’s commitment throughout the lap.
GT World Challenge on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, saw James Cossins (Hills Motorsport) hold off consistent challenges from Oliver Allwood (AB Motorsport) and Declan Lee (Declan Lee Motorsports) to secure a double victory, across two races that reinforce this championship as one of the most closely matched one-make series in the UK as less than 1.5 seconds split the top three at the flag.
In the championship it’s still all to play for, however. James Cossins leads from Oliver Allwood, with Declan Lee completing the top three. Consistent points scorer Tyler McAlpin (McAlpin Motorsport) sits in P4, with John Langridge rounds out the top five for Project 29:7 Racing.
This will most definitely be one to watch closely to see how drivers and teams have evolved over the summer break!
