Miata Trophy ventures East for Rounds 9 & 10

Snetterton will kickstart the second half of Miata Trophy’s 2024 season on August 10, with two rounds on the circuit's challenging 300 configuration waiting.

The competitiveness of the championship is apparent for all to see, with the opening eight rounds producing six different overall winners. In fact, only Aidan Hills (Hills Motorsport) has managed to win on more than one occasion this season!

Will we see an incredible seventh different race winner at Snetterton, or will another driver join Hills in securing multiple first-place trophies?

It won’t be easy for any competitor to finish on the podium in Norfolk. Snetterton’s mix of fast straights and technical corners will challenge and frustrate in equal measure, posing distinct challenges to master over the duration of three-miles of track. A tricky infield section will test competitors and their two generations of Mazda MX-5s, while corners such as Wilson and Coram ensure both a difficult start and end to the lap.

Miata Trophy’s visit to Snetterton in the championship’s debut 2023 season belonged to Declan Lee. The Hills Motorsport driver secured both overall race wins in a tremendous display, earning vital championship points enroute the inaugural Miata Trophy title.

Lee is amongst the entry this year, looking to repeat the success, but there will be plenty looking to secure the trophies themselves.

It’s shaping up to be a fascinating day of racing.

Following a double podium, including race victory, at Anglesey’s stunning Trac Môn circuit, Miller Motorsport’s John Langridge is the driver paving the way in the championship standings. However it could barely be tighter at the top, with only three points separating Langridge and 2023 Champion Lee.

There’s still plenty of racing and points on offer this season though and drivers such as Nicholas Stott and Dillon Stepney will be looking to maximise their points haul at Snetterton to mount a serious charge through the second half of the season. The two Hills Motorsport drivers currently sit third and fourth in the standings respectively.
