The 2006-’15 Mazda MX-5 Cup Car is a versatile, competitive, multi-series platform.

There has been a lot of information lately regarding the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Cup car development and the upcoming 2016 MX-5 Cup race season. But what will become of all the 2006-2015 MX-5 Cup race cars once the 2015 season closes? Are there places to race this car? The answer is YES! SCCA and NASA offer classes for the MX-5 Cup car to race with little to no modifications for eligibility. The MX-5 Cup car is also a favorite of track day drivers and private club track competitors. Further modification opens the door for additional class eligibility. Danny Bender won the 2014 SCCA National Championship Runoffs Touring 4 with his MX-5 Cup car converted to T4 specification.  Don’t have an MX-5 Cup car? No problem! The 2006-2015 “NC” chassis is one of the most versatile platforms Mazda has ever produced. Multiple engine options (2.0L, 2.3L, and 2.5L) and transmission options (5 and 6 speed) are possible, which opens the door to many different classes to choose from when constructing a race car.
