     The Mazda MX-5 Global Cup race car is an open-top steal for those looking for a turnkey racer on a budget without sacrificing the fun factor. Not every racing series        allows open-top cars, though, so Mazda is now offering a factory-approved removable hardtop option.

     “Now with an available hardtop, Mazda racers can compete in SCCA and NASA Club Racing and in the Pirelli World Challenge TCA class,” said David Cook, business           development manager, Mazda Motorsports.

       The hardtop option costs $4,420, with deliveries beginning in April. Orders are being accepted exclusively through Mazda Motorsports from current owners and those       who’ve committed to purchasing an MX-5 Global Cup racer.
