For various reasons which have been discussed to death elsewhere
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
, there is some confusion to both existing and potential new entrants about what is on offer to the club racer with any of the Toyota MR2 models
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
in Production-spec or Modified.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Most series regulations are nearly identical but please check the relevant websites.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
As of 2008, there are 2 race series specifically for Production spec MR2s and a further 2 where they will be very welcome.

Whatever model or type of MR2 race car, you will have plenty of opportunities to race
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
in one or more series!
