Advanced Mazda MX-5 Cup by Heusinkveld 2025 Season 3

2025 Season 3 - Races every hour at :15 past

Just as its name implies, the Advanced Mazda Cup ain't for beginners. Rather, it's for iRacers who are fully familiar with the art and the science of road racing . . . and who'd rather race the Mazda MX-5 Cup than any other car on the service.

By "art" we mean the craft of sim-racing on some of the most demanding road courses available on iRacing. The "science" part refers to the fact that this is an "open" series, where careful tuning of the set-up is every bit as much of the winning formula as fast, aggressive and safe driving.
