To get the most resilience needed to withstand track abuse, Titan 7 takes a special approach to designing their forged wheels.

After crashing his FR-S, Steve Chi moved into a car with twice the power.

The big IS-F heavy, powerful, and a little unusual at most track days. However, as Joe McGuigan’s proven, the platform is incredibly capable—even on tight tracks—with a short list of modifications.

After learning how to make this car navigate a cone course, he bolted on some wings, stiffened the suspension, and added the 2ZZ power the Toyota MR-S needs to set impressive times around Northern California’s more technical tracks.

This modest Miata proves how little one needs to go quickly. Within a year of mild tuning and regular track days, Patryk had turned himself and his car into a time trials winner.

Rather than go all out with the Z06, Steven Kronemberger opted for the mid-range C6: the Grand Sport. With a reliable LS3 engine and strong footwork from the factory, the Grand Sport proves to be one of the best track platforms around.

Patrick Chio and Gary Yeung had to change their car, their driving styles, and their mindset to secure a very encouraging result in what was only their first season of WERC.

Rather than look for boost, Will Kwok decided to leave this A90’s motor stockish and spend his money making it turn.

With the right modifications and the right mindset, Gary Wong grew with this car at the right rate.

An S54 swap and a little footwork modification have made this modest wagon a fun double-duty machine.

Hesitant to try track driving? Here’s a short guide on how to get the most from your foray. You can rest assured knowing there’s a relatively short list of things to know and do—and that no vehicle major modifications are necessary.

This turbocharged Miata utilizes high end parts, has been through a series of incremental improvements that make it a machine with real power, real braking potential, and the cornering speeds we associate with a Miata.

After a long break from speed, Matt Delacruz grabbed a BRZ and began tuning it. Over the last couple years, he’s sharpened it, added a respectable amount of power, and made it just uncomfortable enough to drive on the streets. There’s enough performance to win his class in time attack, but it’s still a very simple, straightforward machine.

Similar setups, slightly different aero packages, a little more weight, and dissimilar driving styles. Watch as these sorted Toyota MR2s duel at Laguna Seca, where higher speeds and faster corners help demonstrate the differences.

How does one man bring two cars to track weekends and run twice the normal number of laps without collapsing? Steven Melson manages—and his secret isn’t as strange as you might think.

It’s been with him 20 years. After plenty of gremlins and no shortage of headaches, he’s finally got this turbocharged 300ZX to rival the best modern track cars.

From a basic commuter to a 335-horsepower track car with full aero, this Miata demonstrates the intelligent way to modify a track car in several steps.
