2022 MSCC Miata Spec Series Round 2

Round 2 of the Manila Sports Car Club (MSCC) Miata Spec Series proved to be as exciting as ever as familiar names in the local racing scene continue to dominate last weekend’s race.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What is new in the Round 2 of the 2022 MSCC Miata Spec Series?

    The racing event now has three categories: the GT Radial Novice Class, the Rota Masters Class, and the Shell Pro Class.
  • What powertrain is equipped in every Mazda MX-5 participating in the MSCC Miata Spec Series?

    Every Mazda MX-5 in the MSCC Miata Spec Series is powered by a showroom stock 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G engine paired to a six-speed Skyactiv manual transmission.
  • Mazda Philippines announced that rules were changed starting the round held last August 27, starting with the formation of three categories: the GT Radial Novice Class, the Rota Masters Class, and the Shell Pro Class. The creation of the aforementioned divisions, according to the Japanese automaker’s local arm, “reflect the diversity of the racing talent present and is also aimed at nurturing and developing “up-and-coming racing talents to hone their talents in succeeding years.”
