Rounds 3 & 4 - Event Preview

Following an entertaining opener at Snetterton in March, Miata Trophy now returns on Sunday 12 April for Rounds 3 and 4 of the 2026 season.

The tremendous Silverstone Grand Prix circuit will welcome the single-make Mazda MX-5 championship, offering competitors the opportunity to vie for the podium trophies and vital championship points on the same layout that will be used to host the British Grand Prix in July.

It’s a circuit that rewards those competitors who display both technical precision and commitment. Carrying momentum through the sweeping, flowing corners will be important for both defence and attack, with the wide track a hotbed for epic side-by-side racing.

The legendary Maggotts, Becketts and Chapel complex offers a true test of balance and bravery and often proves pivotal, as it is immediately followed by a popular overtaking section – the Hangar Straight and Stowe corner.

After recording an impressive double victory in Rounds 1 and 2, Hills Motorsport’s James Cossins will be looking to continue his perfect start to the season at Silverstone. The #24 driver will gain further confidence from a strong display at last year’s Silverstone GP meeting, finishing twice on the podium.

There are plenty of drivers who will be looking to challenge at the front though. Two previous Miata Trophy Champions in the form of Declan Lee (Hills Motorsport) and John Langridge (Project 29:7 Racing) will be eyeing up a strong weekend to bolster their shot at a second title, while Oliver Allwood (AB Motorsport) will be aiming to reduce the 9-point gap between himself and Cossins in the early standings.

Other notable entries include previous Miata Trophy race winners Tyler Mcalpin (Mcalpin Motorsport) and Alex Miller (Project 29:7 Racing), alongside regular frontrunners such as Simon Baldwin, Jack Brewer and Will Powell.

A whole host of other names will be looking to post strong performances of their own, as the championship continues to prove highly competitive throughout the grid.

You won’t want to miss this one.
