I flew to Sonoma Raceway last week, where I had a unique coaching opportunity at the Champ Car (formerly known as Chump Car) championship event. Why is there a championship happening in February? Because all of the 2019 race winners get invited out to a venue at the...

This past week was a fun one for me. We had a final test for the Mazda Global MX-5 Cup as we prepare for the start of the 2020 Battery Tender MX-5 Cup season, and it was a chance to test the brand-new Sadev sequential gearbox. This gearbox update will be a required...
