Hey all-
I know I'm not alone in my enthusiasm for the new car, especially as a tool for motorsport use in this age of $4.00/gal (or more) gasoline. Like the old saying goes, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to be stuck going slow in a fast car.
I'm hitting my first autocross with the Mazda2 this Sunday, but I know some of you have already been out in yours. I'd love to establish a knowledge base for the community, so I'll be sure to share what I learn from the car's first event and hope that others will join me.
For what it's worth, I did get to take the Mazda2 out for some Parade and Touring lap sessions while at the Mitty in Road Atlanta this past weekend, and it's an absolute hoot on track even though speeds were limited and I was still on the OEM rubber. (drive2)
Who else is out there?
