On this week’s episode of Grassroots Motorsports Live, we took a rare tour of the fabled basement that lies beneath Mazda’s R&D building in Irvine, California. There we explored a treasure trove of Mazda history: prototypes, legendary race cars and show specials. And yes, there were lots of cool Miatas and RX-7 rarities.

Want more awesome content like this? We’ll be back next Wednesday at our regular time: 9:00 p.m. EST. That show will feature an interview with Jeremy Fry, the lead stunt driver from the movie “Baby Driver.”

I watched this last night and LOVED IT. As a long time Mazda fan (on my 4th Miata and the wife's vehicle is a CX-5) it was awesome seeing all of those toys.
