We all know the importance and the significance of November 11th. We all know to take a moment of silence at 11:11 on the 11th day of the 11th month.
 
The fine people of Mazda UK also know the significance of this month and this past weekend they ran the second annual Race of Remembrance. This unique motorsport event takes place at the Anglesey circuit in North Wales. The race supports Mission Motorspots, which is a charity that uses motorsports to provide respite, rehabilitation, vocational support and training to those affected by military operations. This year 45 teams competed on the demanding 1,000 km Welsh circuit.
