Long Beach

Mazda was kind enough to invite me out to the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, which features some of my favorite racing series including the IMSA and Pirelli World Challenge. I was excited to get behind the scenes access to Mazda’s racing program, including touring their paddock and meeting with the drivers and team managers. 
If you have never been to the Long Beach Grand Prix it is a festival of motorsports that takes over the city. From IMSA and Indy to Trophy Trucks and Drifting there is something for everyone. Plus music, food, shopping, and an amazing expo in the Long Beach Convention Center.
Enjoy some of my photos from my weekend with Mazda below, for more visit our Facebook Page HERE.
