Mazda Event @ Harris Hill Raceway - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Took tons of pictures, unfortunately my FR-S stayed at home, but i got to drive a MX-5 for the longhorn racing academy all day scaring potential students as much as i could.

All the pictures are in this link: > http://photobucket.com/H2RMazda

Preview of the Album:

Drove this little blue mx-5 all day, its funny how different the FR-S and MX-5 behave, i think the gear ratios on the MX-5 are better suited for Harris Hill Road. The suspension setup was weird, its the first twitchy mx-5 i have ever driven. Fun but twitchy lol.

A good friend flew out there for it, Heath. He runs MazdaMovement. I wish I could have gone but a plane ticket was $500.

I went on saturday the 2nd I think. There were lots of other cars out there. Only saw one porsche when I was there. It was an autocross event...but they did thank mazda for setting it up etc.

But the pikes peak car run in the morning same with two silver nissan gtr's. Lots of miatas and mx-5s there. There was one frs there but didn't see him run. I never saw the lemans car when I was there.

Here is a picture of the electric pikes peak car. Its the yellow one.
