After Miata Trophy’s third season roared into life at Snetterton on March 15, attention has now swiftly turned to Northamptonshire for Rounds 3 and 4.
Silverstone’s Grand Prix circuit is primed to host its first-ever Miata Trophy race meeting on Sunday 6 April, with two generations of Mazda MX-5 competitors looking to etch their name into the championship’s history books as the first to finish on the class podiums on the extended circuit configuration.
Notably, the upcoming trip to Silverstone also marks the beginning of Miata Trophy’s Grand Prix Grand Slam in 2025, which sees the championship enviably hold meetings at all three of the U.K’s active Grand Prix circuits.
The current home of British F1 seems the fitting place to kickstart the trio of meetings, with its specifically-designed corners set to challenge competitors and their vehicles on the very same track that will see motorsport titans such as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battle for British Grand Prix glory in just a few months’ time.
There’s plenty to be excited about.
Both previous Miata Trophy Overall Champions, Declan Lee and John Langridge, are set to be on the grid and will be aiming for strong results to bolster their chances of winning a second title.
Amongst those who will be looking to stand in their way and secure Silverstone success are previous Miata Trophy race-winners Alex Miller (Miller Motorsport) and Will Morris (Hills Motorsport), while two drivers who enjoyed strong championship debuts at Snetterton last time out in James Cossins (AB Motorsport) and Jack Brewer (Hills Motorsport) are also set to feature.
There will be plenty of others looking to make an impression themselves and anticipation is high for an exhilarating race meeting.
