Spec Racing is a motorsport where participants compete aboard nearly identical vehicles basically with the intention of measuring success through the driver's skill and the vehicle setup, rather than on the engineering skill and finances. This kind of competition is popular since it brings down the cost of non-consumables, such as the engines and chassis, through economies of scale. Majority of the amateur racing leagues follow the spec model in order to ensure participation remains affordable to the teams. Spec Miata advertises the total introductory cost of their series as being $10,000 US (although in reality used Spec Miatas sell for 50-100% more than that figure), comparatively cheap next to $157,000 for a SCCA Club Sport T1 division race car.
