Motorsport

The Mazda MX-5 is ideal for many forms of motorsport.

The Club runs its own annual Sprint Championship, but Club members participate in other disciplines including khanacross, hillclimb, supersprints, racing and targa events outside of the Club Championship.

You don’t need to be a fast driver, or an experienced one. Just bring your enthusiasm and a desire to get the most from your car and yourself.
