Road Atlanta will be the site of the next Spec MX-5 Challenge event, July 27-29 (as well as the championship event in November 2018). Drivers from Spec MX-5 Challenge – East and Spec MX-5 Challenge – Central will come together for the first time this season to learn the track and test their racecraft against one another for the first time. Drivers will also endeavor to build skills in anticipation of competing in November for the $100,000 first prize Spec MX-5 Challenge scholarship.
Spec MX-5 Challenge intends to live stream from selected cars during the races in July. You can find those streams on the Spec MX-5 Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SpecMX5Racing/

To get a taste of what Road Atlanta is like, take a look at this video shot from inside a Prototype Challenge car driven by Kenton Koch. We know the PC car is quite a bit faster than the Spec MX-5 race cars drivers will run in the Challenge, but we think Kenton’s run gives a good idea of the thrills and passing opportunities of Road Atlanta.
