Description
During my early days as Community Manager for Mazda USA, working with ad agency The Garage / Team Mazda, I severely lucked out and got the privilege of shooting the most famous Japanese race car in history.ΒThis was taken at the end of the last set-up day prior to the 2011 Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion, prelude event to the renowned Monterey Motorsports Reunion, at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
To see the complete story of this shoot, as well as some additional photos and video, and how it was all put to use across Mazda USA's social media channels, click over to:Β lukemunnell.com/blog/?p=3017

Luke, is there any way to get the full desktop size of this image? I can't find it on the web any more. I want 1920x1080. Thanks.

I've only seen this car in video games. Β What a prize to see it in person!

And even more so to hear it racing by.

It was! Such a legend. Possibly the single most well-known race car in history.

Sweet shot!
That's the same car I saw in Japan. It's stored in the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima. I was definitely not holding back my enthusiasm when I was crawling around it with my camera!

Thank you! Yeah, I was lucky to be there and working with Mazda that year they brought it over for the event. They'll do that every several years or so. Can't wait to see it again.

Yep. I was trying really hard not to let too much excitement show when I shot it
