a must watch for the speed junkie's like myself who wish to take the mazda2 on a road course circuit.

I was expecting it to be a lot faster than that. But again its still just a Mazda 2. Its nice hearing that turbo whine on full boost. Makes the car sound more aggressive.

It's a supercharger isn't it?

I was actually impressed. I was surprised to see so much of the stock dash inside of a race car though. I came from a FIT site, and lots of those are pretty gutted inside. Here is another link to some Mazda2 race action. http://www.insideline.com/mazda/2/2...zda-2-and-2010-honda-fit-b-spec-racecars.html

thanks for sharing the link, absolutely love the Mazda2 and Honda Fit B-Spec racers

i just wish the Mazda2 sounded as aggressive as the Honda Fit! Don't you?

 

[2fstfru]

Yeah, I do. I really hope that this series takes off. Its a type of motorsports that more people can get involved with/get into because they are not super overblown one off cars you know? More how things are in Europe.

here is a little clip from the race

Earlier this week I found a video test of both the Fit and the 2, but I'm having trouble finding it right now.

 

[2fstfru]

Found it lol. http://www.insideline.com/mazda/2/2...zda-2-and-2010-honda-fit-b-spec-racecars.html

The spec-B cars are NA. There only engine mods are on the Mazda 2 its a cat back exhaust and on the FIT its cat deleted exhaust. Other then that the engines are stock tunned and no added engine internals. They have coil-overs and some race dot tires. Use the same sway bar from factory and have a gutted back end and are caged. Thats pretty much the whole package.

The most inpressive part is there skid pad G forces of over 1G on the pad. Thats just insane. Both cars did the race with no engine issues or other problems. The FIT did a brake job and the Mazda 2 managed to get through the whole thing on one set of pads. (Insane)

Power doesn't mean everything I auto cross my 2 with stock shocks and lowering springs and a axle back exhaust/intake and some 200 tread wear tires, and people fear me lol.

Light weight is where its at! GO 2

 

[2fstfru]

**** yeah! Thats how I had my fit set up too. I love the way that these little light weight hatches drive. They are all that I drive, and I have fun every minute Im in them. I cant wait to finish getting my 2 set up. I love the way this thing drives. I wish that Swift made a set of lowering springs for the 2 though, in my opinion, their springs are the best

Im pumped. It looks like Toyota, Kia, Fiat, and Ford are jumping on the b-spec bandwagon. Here is a link where you can check out the Yaris http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/...-club-racer-being-prepped-for-sema-debut.html. It is actually going to be piloted by a fellow BMX rider, Jamie Bestwick from England
