A very hot day in Suffolk.
The weather was hot and so was the action on track. Project Merlot with drivers: Jon E, Martin C, Chris G and Gary S, made its first 2009 appearance at Woodbridge Airfield on Saturday the 27 June. The MX-5 count for the event was high with 7 on the track and we even had a Merlot fan who had flown in all the way from Las Vegas for a passenger ride!

Team Merlot Spring in to action in Yorkshire.
The MX-5 Owners Club 2009 Spring Rally was held at Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire over the weekend of 16-17 May and featured a full track day, run by Javelin Track Days, on the Saurday, and a Club sprint competition on the Sunday.
The Merlot was there both days along with plenty of other Club members putting their 5 through its paces.
Track conditions varied from dry to flooded on both days but this certainly didn't put anyone off.
Following the Rally weekend the Merlot along with plenty of Eastern Region friends was to be found blasting across the Yorskshire Moors, scaring plenty of sheep, on roads that those us from East Anglia can usually only dream of!

Merlot goes "Mad Max" in Shakespeare County !
Saturday 28 February saw Team Merlot head off for a driving experience day with Mazda on Track at the Shakespeare County Raceway, otherwise known as Long Martson Airfield (a location in many respects doing a very passable impression of a set from a Mad Max Movie.!)
Two different sprint courses had been set up the runway tarmac with cars, mostly MX-5s, going off for a lap, one at a time. A different format to the usual track day we know and love but certainly one of the most entertaining driving days I have ever experienced.

And I thought Robbie had given up smoking.?
