As the 2024 Spec MX-5 season kicks into high gear, SMX drivers have more reason to look forward to the year ahead. Two of the Series’ most popular cash prizes, the Master’s Championship and the Spec MX-5 Move of the Year Award, are making a triumphant return, promising both seasoned drivers and rising stars a chance to shine.
The Master’s Award, a coveted $5,000 cash prize courtesy of Mazda Motorsports, will be presented to the driver with the most Super Tour points after the 2024 SCCA National Championship Runoffs. But there’s a twist – this accolade is exclusively reserved for drivers over the age of 45, adding a layer of prestige and recognition for the seasoned racers of the Series.
In addition to the Master’s Award, the adrenaline-pumping 2024 Spec MX-5 Move of the Year Award, sponsored by Sean Hedrick of MiataCage, promises a thrilling showcase of skill and daring maneuvers. Valued at $1,500, this cash prize is up for grabs to the driver who delivers the most jaw-dropping performance, as decided by the public on Instagram. Whether it’s a breathtaking pass, a heart-stopping accident avoidance, or a blistering race start, every clip has the potential to clinch the title of 2024 Spec MX-5 Move of the Year.
Submitting your entry for the Spec MX-5 Move of the Year is a breeze – just share your captivating clip on Instagram with the hashtag #SMXMoveOfTheYear and tag both @SpecMX5 and @MiataCage. What’s more, there’s no limit to the number of video submissions, offering drivers the opportunity to showcase as many heart-stopping moves on track from the entire 2024 season! The more videos you post, the greater your chances of securing the coveted 2024 Spec MX-5 Move of the Year title and the accompanying cash prize.
Voting for the 2024 Spec MX-5 Move of the Year unfolds later in the season, with the winner set to be announced at the 2024 SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America.
