2016 MX-5 Solo Year in Review

With the SCCA Solo Nationals now over, and most parts of the country winding down their autocross seasons, let's take a look back on the 2016 season and the development of the new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata.Mazda Motorsports and SCCA Solo National Championship winning driver Ron Bauer have been busy all season working on and testing parts for this new platform in an effort to develop not only individual parts, but also packages of parts.

The goal for the 2016 season was to end the year with proven parts for both the CS and STR classes. Development really began at the 2015 Solo Nationals, but gained steam once Bauer acquired his personal MX-5 car at the end of September 2015.
