The Mazda MX-5 is one of our favourite affordable sports cars, but compared with the current crop of high-performance cars, it is beginning to feel a little outgunned. With that in mind, Northampton-based BBR has developed a turbo kit boosting power to 285bhp -- slightly more than the Ford Focus ST. Mark Tisshaw takes the pair to Cadwell Park to see if the Mazda's extra grunt can overhaul the brawny Ford.
