The third season of Miata Trophy is about to begin!
On Saturday 15 March the single-make championship returns, with two generations of Mazda MX-5 competitors itching to start their seasons in the best fashion possible.
Continuing in the championships trend of starting each season at a different venue, the technical Snetterton 300 circuit will play host to the opening two rounds of the season. Both races taking place on a single day will provide plenty of entertainment for both driver and spectator in Norfolk, with expectations high for an enthralling day of action.
Miata Trophy’s two previous overall Champions, Declan Lee and John Langridge, are set to be on the grid, alongside a blend of both championship regulars and debutants.
Will Morris recorded an impressive double victory at Snetterton last year and is also amongst those returning to the grid for the 2025 season opener. The Hills Motorsport driver will be looking to take to the podium once more, but it will surely be no easy feat. Every competitor will be looking to maximise their points haul and create a solid platform to launch their seasons aspirations.
The Snetterton 300 circuit held its first race back in 2011 following an extensive redevelopment, including the addition of the new infield section of track, moving it away from the older configuration now most closely resembled by the 200 circuit.
This redevelopment makes Snetterton arguably one of the best tracks for racing in the country, with its combination of fast and technical corners and the longest straights in Norfolk, to challenge even the most decorated of competitor.
New-for-2025 in Miata Trophy is a shake-up the championship’s qualifying format. A 15-minute qualifying session will first set the grid for race one. Race two will take the same initial positions, but with the top ten reversed!
