The MR2 Championship is designed to provide close, competitive racing in real sports cars - at an affordable price. The key to this is to limit the allowable modifications on what is an already superbly balanced sports car, shifting the focus to driver ability and providing for some truly exciting, close quarter racing.

The Championship currently has separate classes for both the earlier lightweight 1.6 litre mk1 MR2 and the later more powerful - but ultimately heavier 2.0 litre mk2. An invitation class for the 1.8 litre mk3 MR2 (Roadster / MR-S) is planned and will be introduced during the 2008 season.

Due to it's unique appeal, the MR2 Championship attracts a wide array of drivers. The sensible costs appeal to people who had never considered racing before, as well as those already in Motorsport seeking better value for money. Since modifications are tightly controlled, competitors are far more open about their cars and the atmosphere in the paddock is relaxed and friendly. There's always someone willing to show newcomers the ropes and share driving and preparation tips!
