MODI-5-CUP
A race series that puts the focus on driver
ability that is both fun and superb value. It is
designed to put a grid of MX5s together to
race at Kirkistown race track. The vision was
to start a competitive and well-mannered race
series, in which all competitors respeced each
other and each other’s machinery. This is not
a contact sport as contact
=damage=repairs=money. Opinion is that the
MX5 is one of the best sports cars ever made,
inexpensive, well designed and well
engineered. As well as for serious enthusiasts,
this series will also appeal to novices looking
for excitement and fun. Competitors can
participate in the following MX5 cars -
Eunos/Miata origin 1989 – 2005.
