The MG Trophy has a long and proud history, and for 2026 it continues to evolve to stand out in an increasingly crowded racing landscape. Designed with flexibility, value and great racing in mind, the MG Trophy offers something a little different.

​

Why race the MG Trophy?

• A series, not a championship – making it easy to pick and choose the rounds that suit you

• Racing exclusively against other fwd hatchbacks within the popular Co-ordSport Tin Tops

• Generous track time with 30 minutes of qualifying and a 40-minute pit-stop race

• Excellent value and clean, respectful racing for single or two-driver teams

• Simple regulations with classes for all MG ZR variants, running on treaded tyres

​

As part of the Co-ordSport Tin Tops Series, MG Trophy competitors enjoy an exciting format featuring extended qualifying and a 40-minute race complete with a mandatory pit stop (yes, your fuel tank really is big enough!).

​

The MG Trophy offers a refreshing alternative to mixed grids of old and new machinery, front and rear-wheel-drive cars. Following feedback from drivers in the 2024 season, the 2026 programme brings together cars of similar weight, performance and handling characteristics, racing alongside like-minded drivers who care for their cars as much as the competition.

​

The calendar visits a superb mix of circuits, from iconic venues such as Spa-Francorchamps and Silverstone GP, to unique experiences including day-and-night racing at Knockhill. Drivers can compete in as few or as many rounds as they wish, with many events live-streamed.

​

Regulations remain refreshingly straightforward: any car eligible for an MG championship can compete. Multiple classes cater for the popular 160, 170 and 190 ZR specifications, while more extensively modified MGs can race in alternative classes or categories within the club.
