Meet our newest build: a 2021 Mazda Miata Club…and the start of our dedicated autocross and road course project. When it came time to pick the right platform, the answer was obvious: Miata.

Lightweight, balanced, and forgiving, the Miata has earned its reputation as one of the best driver’s cars ever made—and the perfect way to sharpen skills without needing massive power. When we picked up this car, it came with a few smart upgrades already installed, including Koni Yellow Sport shocks and a larger front sway bar. We’ll be dialing this car in for SCCA C-Street competition, showing you exactly what it takes to build a capable (and fun) autocross setup step-by-step.

To get a better idea of our starting point, we headed out to:

Quaker City Karting in Salem, Ohio for tight, technical autocross-style driving

Nelson Ledges Raceway in Garrettsville, Ohio for full road course experience

This is just the beginning.
