Race Preview: Snetterton

Miata Trophy returns to Snetterton for Rounds 13 & 14 of the 2026 season as the title race heats up!

Known for its long straights, sweeping corners and technical infield, the Snetterton 300 circuit tests drivers’ braking, cornering and acceleration skills, meaning concentration will be key for this challenging penultimate round.

James Cossins in the #24 car may still hold the championship lead, but the chasing pack has closed in as we near the finale at Brands Hatch on Saturday 14 November. Declan Lee now sits second in the standings, just 45 points behind Cossins, with AB Motorsport’s Oliver Allwood in third. Momentum into the weekend may well be with Allwood, however, following his Race 2 victory at Oulton Park.

Last time out at Snetterton, for Rounds 1 and 2 of the season, it was Cossins in the driving seat as he secured pole before converting his great start into back-to-back wins at the Norfolk circuit. The current championship leader will be looking to replicate this success as we return to Snetterton in October. Both Lee and Allwood will also be looking forward to returning to the circuit, having shared the podium with Cossins on both occasions during the season opener.
