With four races left in the Skip Barber Racing School presents the Mazda Winter Series, the competition is heating up. On February 17-19, racers will compete at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida for Rounds 7 and 8 of the twelve-race season. Last month, MAZDASPEED Motorsports Development Driver, Danilo Estrela, had a strong weekend winning both races for Group 3. Heading into Rounds 7 and 8, Estrela leads the championship race with Nick Neri just a few points behind. In the MAZDASPEED Challenge, Skip Barber Rookie Nelson Canache and Grand Master Steve Randall are neck-in-neck for the first position as they are tied in the championship point standings.
