News, Racing I By Winding Road Staff I October 20, 2020

Winding Road Race Services is now accepting orders for fall 2020 build slots for new Spec MX-5 race cars to be completed in time for testing and the 2021 race season.

Experience: Winding Road Race Services is the largest builder of Spec MX-5 cars in the U.S. Over 25% of all Spec MX-5s built to date were done by Winding Road.

Success: Winding Road cars have won the Central Series Spec MX-5 Challenge Championship, the National Spec MX-5 Challenge Championship and are currently leading the National and Invitational Championship points in 2020.

The base price of $49,850 is for a race-ready build
• Reliability and Performance option packages are available at additional cost

Spec MX-5 racer Drake Kemper on why this potent, fast, and sturdy platform should be considered by anyone looking for a solid platform to race:

“The NC-based Spec-MX5 is a wonderful addition to club racing. Not only is the car a great platform that is easy enough for beginners, but it’s a real challenge to figure out all of the quirky nuances for the advanced racers. At no point is it boring; between the fantastic wheel-to-wheel battles, to the very strict rule set, Spec-MX5 makes the PERFECT middle step in between Spec Miata and MX-5 Cup. Also: the single-adjustable shocks and limited adjustments you can make to the car make learning setup changes an easier transition for those who don’t have the experience. The only downside to this class is there aren’t 30 cars in out there in one event just yet! When this class is fully-fielded it will likely be the best club racing experience in the US.”
