Over the past few days, I've been finishing up our Mazda-themed editorials with photos from the race car dungeon underneath the Mazda R&D facility.

I know we are wrapping up Mazda month right now, but I have a few more photos I wanted to post before moving on.

I remember hearing some requests for a high res desktop version of this photo of Kenji Takayama in the R-Magic FD3S at D1 Fuji last October, so here you go. Widescreen and standard versions available now in the Speedhunters Desktops section. Enjoy. -Mike Garrett
