The Mazda Road to 24 (MRT24) and Mazda Road to Indy (MRTI) Shootouts were held at the Bondurant Racing School in Phoenix, Arizona, last weekend. It was the first time that the event had been hosted at the Bondurant School, and it worked out really well. I was...

I just got home from the U.K.! I was really excited to have the opportunity to go on a trip to Brands Hatch – even though it was short, and it was on short notice! Having grown up watching the British Touring Car championship, Brands Hatch is the quintessential...
