PH was lucky enough to compete at the 25th running of the Mazda Roadster 4-Hour Media Endurance Race last year, this milestone also coinciding with the global debut of the all-new ND MX-5 (as we know it). This year was arguably even more significant, being the motorsport debut of the car we saw unveiled last year. Amazingly we were invited back too, driving alongside former F1 and Le Mans star Ukyo Katayama as part of the NHK Samurai Wheels team.
All we had to do was keep calm not burn too much fuel and all would be fine. You can read how well that went here but here for your desktop delight is a rather lovely dusk shot of the Samurai Wheels/PistonHeads MX-5 on Tsukuba's evocative tarmac. Looks like something straight out of Gran Turismo but it was very much for real!
