Vehicle Classes 2026

The intent of our class structure is to provide a logical progression in terms of technical development from a standard road-going MX-5 through various levels of modification up to a dedicated MX-5 race car. The full progression is available for all MX-5 models.

These 2026 technical rules are carried over from 2025 with no changes and a clarification to the intent of non-standard bodywork modifications in Clubman.

All entrants to club track days are required to submit a 2026 Vehicle Declaration Form. Subsequently, the form must also be recompleted when entering with a new car, or after performing any modification that may affect the class of their car.

The 2026 technical rules have three parts:

  1. 2026 Technical Rules - technical definition of modifications permitted in the various Classes of vehicle.
  2. 2026 Class Benchmarks - methods of calculating the benchmark times and the scoring system used to calculate points for each event.
  3. 2026 Benchmark Times - benchmark times for each category of vehicle.

Club members wishing to compete in the NSW Supersprint Championship should be very familiar with the rules for that championship, which can be found on the NSW Supersprint website. In addition, members competing in the new MX-5 Club Modified Class should read the Type RM rules in the NSW Supersprint Championship rules since the MX-5 Club Modified Class rules are those for Type RM (with some adjustments).

 

CSCA Championship

As our club track days now operate under the CSCA rounds, Club members are also eligible to compete for the CSCA Championship. The CSCA class rules are defined here and drivers are required to select a CSCA class when entering each round. MX-5s are eligible to compete in one of three classes: 

  • Class M (Production road cars)
  • Class P (Modified road cars)
  • Class R (Production race cars)

All naturally aspirated MX-5s (except 2.5L conversions) are eligible for sub-class 1 0-2000cc (i.e. M1, P1 or R1). Forced induction MX-5s are eligible for sub-class 2 2001-3100cc (up to 1.8L) or sub-class 3 >3100cc (2L).
