Get on the gridThe car
One spec. Sealed. Scrutineered.
Every car in the Trophy is a Mk4 Mazda MX-5 built to the same control specification, on the same Goodyear hard compound slick. No development race, no budget arms race. What you bring is setup, tyre management and the ability to overtake.
Slicks are controlled to six sets for the whole season. That caps what anyone can spend their way to, and it makes looking after a set part of the job rather than an afterthought. Qualifying on fresh rubber is a decision with a cost, not a default. A Goodyear wet is available as well, so a soaked weekend does not come out of your dry allocation.
ABS, traction control and a ZF sequential gearbox are part of that specification. The car is modern rather than raw, so a missed downshift does not end your afternoon. That makes it a realistic first car for a driver straight out of an ARDS test, and still quick enough to be worth the time of someone who has raced for years.
For 2027 the Trophy runs on the BRSCC MX-5 SuperCup grid, scored as its own championship. You share the track with the SuperCup Mk3 cars, but not the championship. Different car, different tyre, your own results and your own title. From 2028 the Trophy takes its own slot on the BRSCC roster.
