The people and the car
Team & car
A small team running a first-generation Mazda MX-5 against much newer machinery, and finishing ahead of most of it.
The car
Our car is a first-generation Mazda MX-5, race number 16. It runs in Class C at the BRSCC Race of Remembrance, a power-to-weight class capped at 180 bhp per tonne. That puts it against later MX-5s, BMWs and hot hatches.
In 2023 it was the fastest Class C car in day qualifying with a 1:43.793 at Anglesey, 8th overall, and went on to win the class after twelve hours in the rain.
Where it started
Out of storage, 2018
We pulled the car out of storage in 2018, dusty, still in its old race livery and already wearing number 16. In 2021 it lined up for its first Race of Remembrance.
Run by
LSR Performance
The car is prepared and run on race weekends by LSR Performance, part of LSR Garages in Hammerwich, Staffordshire. Their crew build the car, look after it between events and run the pit lane through the twelve hours.
