RACE CLASSES

The MX5RacingNZ class provides great value for money, competitive racing.  They are NA or Mark 1 basic production cars with restricted modifications; they can be fitted with upgraded coil-over suspension, race seats, a roll cage, upgraded brake pads, Hankook control tyres and not much else. This is a driver’s class where close racing is guaranteed at a low cost.

MX5RacingNZ runs separate winter and summer series for the MX5 Cup. The four winter rounds are held at Manfeild: Circuit Chris Amon.

SF stands for ‘Slightly Faster’. The target lap time is 1 minute 25 seconds. This is where the faster RS Cuppers graduate to as they get more seat time and improve their cars. VTEC Civics and Intregras, 20 Valve Truenos and Levins, the odd Volvo or 300ZX give this group plenty of variety.
