2026 result

A podium on the return.

In its first serious return to competition, the #267 Miata qualified for the GridLife Laguna Podium Sprint, finished third in TrackMod and reset its Laguna Seca personal best to 1:33.158.

The result is a baseline, not a finish line. Every race weekend feeds the next round of setup work, reliability improvements and performance development.

Competition history

The program

One car. Three disciplines.

The 2027 direction is deliberately ambitious: develop one platform for outright time-attack pace while preserving the durability and flexibility required for wheel-to-wheel endurance racing.

01 / TIME ATTACK

Global Time Attack

Limited RWD is the benchmark for the car’s highest-performance configuration and development ceiling.

02 / SPRINT

GRIDLIFE TRACKMOD

Return to the class where the 2026 Laguna podium established a credible first result.

03 / ENDURANCE

NASA ST2 / STE

Maintain a compatible endurance configuration built around repeatable pace, thermal control and reliability.

Engineering approach

Measure. Change. Validate.

Buchanan Racing treats every session as a development cycle. Driver feedback, tire temperatures, pressure trends, logged data and component condition are recorded together, then turned into focused changes with a clear reason behind each one.
