WRR TV: MX-5 Cup Standing Start At Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
This video is from Race 1 of the 2016 Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup season held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The first race of each MX-5 Cup event uses a standing start. Here, WRR driver Tom Martin shows the advantages of using the outside line in Turn 2 on the first lap. Cars tend to stack up in the inside lane, leaving drivers on the outside a good chance to pick up places.
Learning Curve: Fly the Plane Dummy
As some of you may already know I make my living as a corporate pilot. I began my career as a flight instructor and I have taught hundreds of pilots everything from spin recovery and aerobatics all the way to multi engine instrument training. As you can imagine I have had many emergencies over the last twenty years in aviation, but whether I am the student or the instructor (and regardless of whether the emergency is real or simulated), my first instinct is always the same: Fly The Plane First.

Competing in the MX-5 Global Cup: First Impressions
Harris Hill Road and Mazda invited me to drive and help out for a Mazda Corporate event. The cars for this event showed up the day before, so I was present for their arrival and thrilled to see two brand new MX-5 Club editions, the Mazda 6 pace car from Mazda Raceway, the Mazda 6 Skyactive diesel race car and the reason that I was there, the 2016 MX-5 Global Cup car. I gravitated right to the Cup car since I have one on order, and I guess I am still a little anxious since this is the first car that I have ever purchased without a test drive.
