Pro and club racer Andrew Carbonell recently sat down with the folks at Mazdaspeed to discuss the finer points of braking techniques to help maintain your pace. The most important aspect of the braking process differs depending on who you ask. Some say that the key to being fast is how soon you get on the throttle, while others will tell you it’s how late you get on the brakes. But for Andrew it’s not about getting on the brakes or on the throttle, it’s about when you get off the brakes that matters the most.
WR TV: 2014 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club
While we all anxiously await the arrival of the next MX-5, we also should take a moment to reflect on the fact that the current Miata is a excellent sports car in its own right.

Classic: The Origins of the Mazda Miata
In 1979, auto journalist Bob Hall suggested Mazda produce a small two-seater roadster inspired by the rear-wheel drive Alfa Romeo, MG and Triumph sports cars that ruled the roads in the 1960s.
