For those that don't know, there are two distinct race series running: MaX5 and Ma5da.
Depending on who you ask, MaX5 is smaller, friendlier and tends to get plugged on the Nutz forum a lot, as many of the competitors are regular posters. They held a pre-season warm-up day last month at Donnington, which I went to. There's a thread about the series here.
Ma5da has been on TV a few times and is much larger. There's been a lot of plugging on the OC Forum, especially as free tickets have been given out in the past. There's a thread here.
Personally, where possible, I'd rather support MaX5 as I've met more of the people involved. However, I've blagged hot-laps off the winners of both series and it's fantastic to see how much they can push a race-prepped/track-prepped '5 around a circuit.
