Skip Barber to host MX-5 Cup racing school
Filed under: Motorsports, Convertibles, Mazda
One of the fastest growing race series in the U.S. is the Mazda MX-5 Cup, and the reasons behind its popularity are obvious. Drivers with the motivation, a modicum of talent and limited funding ($10-13k will get you in the door) can experience the thrills of wheel-to-wheel racing at tracks around the country. Few racing series can offer the same bang-for-the-buck action as the MX-5 cup and for many (if not most), it’s the realization of a life-long dream.
Until now, there hasn’t been much in the way of organized training to get competitors ready for the series, so in partnership with Mazda, Skip Barber will begin offering a three-day training course at its facilities around the U.S.
Based off the same curriculum used to train its open-wheel students, participants will get behind the wheel of race-prepped MX-5s, built to the same specs required in the formal racing series.
The first course will be offered at Laguna Seca this April 27 through 29, with another course on May 21 through 23 at Road America. Other classes will be added throughout the year at Sebring, Daytona and Lime Rock, for the same price as their formula-car school: $3,995.
