Danny Steyn returns to race Spec Miata - 2026 Road Atlanta HST after the horrific 2024 crash. Race 1

After the horrifying Spec Miata crash during qualifying at the SCCA Runoffs in 2024, I spent the next 17 months on the road to recovery, building myself up physically and mentally to be able to race again. The Road Atlanta leg of the SCCA Hoosier Super Tour was my first official big race back behind the wheel and I was unsure as to how it would go. Would I be able to handle the pressure of wheel to wheel racing? Would I be able to go toe to toe with the fearless teenagers that now dominate the class. Road Atlanta would be my test. To make matters worse, in the past, I usually qualify on the pole or front row at Road Atlanta, but today I found himself mired in the kill zone back in 20th. This would be the acid test. Would I be able to drive myself forward, or would I fade into the abyss?????? On the motor racing front I compete in SCCA and NASA events around the USA. I race both Spec Miata (SM) and Super Touring Lite (STL) cars. My cars are prepared by OPM Autosports in Atlanta, my SM is powered by Rossini Racing Engines, my STL is powered by Nelson Racing Engines, and both cars are stopped courtesy G-Loc Brake Pads, with contingency support from Hoosier Racing Tire, Toyo Tires and Mazda Motorsports. On the motorcycle front, I race Hare Scrambles and Dessert Off-Road Races, and do a bunch of long, multi-day trips on adventure bikes around the world. SUBSCRIBE to get my latest videos!
