The original MX‑5 is beloved for its simplicity and lightweight feel, and our race‑prepared Mk1 captures that spirit. It weighs around 900 kg and produces roughly 120 bhp from a free‑breathing 1.6‑litre engine fitted with a race exhaust and intake. Gaz race shocks, a limited‑slip diff, four‑pot brake calipers, bucket seats and Racelogic data telemetry turn this little roadster into an excellent platform for refining fundamentals and building speed with confidence.
