thank you so much! appreciate the support!!

A miata in capable hands is quite a thing! Great driving dude just subbed

Always a banger video when you post!

Such a relaxing video. Please keep making these, love them 👌

You were really gettin it done by the end. So FUN!

Really appreciate you posting these. You're living my dream! 😄 Ahh.... one day I'll get my BRZ on a track. One day... 😀 In the meantime I can enjoy your moments. 👍😁

def get out there when you can! thanks for watching

That Mazda sounds really good, congrats for the pilot too

Sounds like the infamous ice mode kicking in. When I had my 2016 BRZ and had a race instructor on board who did the Continental series. we both had it trigger on midcorner trail braking ( I asked him for braking tips ). it always happened mid corner if any trail braking was applied (power cut timing even with gas pedal to floor)

This is great. I’ll definitely be watching more vids. I hope to one day get my rsx on a track

Gentle with those pedals, brother. Trailing throttle oversteer is an evil beast.

02:45 Yes and no, some had it some did not, i had a 1989 NA (one of the first ones and that did not have ABS). NB same story some do some do not. From NC forward ABS & TCS is standard :) Great video love your driving.

gotcha! I figured that was the case and assumed that's why he was braking conservatively in t1. thanks for the quick answer and for watching!

My NB has no ABS. I also ease into hard stops on and off track. I found out one day just checking out my stopping distance. Went tail happy. Adjusted the bias and now the fishtail mostly gone. Still stuck in my brain tho lol

I feel like at lap 5 and on you started driving outside your range, overall it was a sick track day it looks like

this looks so fun. damn what a sesh

great driving. Miatas do really well at thunderbolt, they barely have to brake. What are your camera settings? Do you have image stabilization turned off/on? I like how it looks!

Nice driving Eric! I see no reason why you should not be running in the advanced group. I noticed you picked up on the Miata driver holding the turn 1 outside curbing longer. Widen that entry into turn 2 as much as possible.

Good vid, I know you were keen on the comparison with the Miata (MX5 here in Australia) but is that a black 2022 BRZ/GR86 @ 0:29 (Can't make out the badge)? If so, I thought you may have been keen to have a run with them and compare your modified Gen 1 vs the Gen 2?

That miata is flying 😂 hell yea bro

No abs for most , if its full racecar, it wont have abs even if it came with it. His early braking could just be not being used to no ABS cause i usually can get in on the brakes pretty hard with no lock up

That miata probably only uses the brakes thrice per lap - T1, T5 and T8, and flat out otherwise with maybe a lift in a couple spots.

Strange watch racing without voice changers lol wish highway Swimmers would do more track days like this

Trying to learn so this is just a thought. It looks like you might benefit from going slower into some of those corners that the Miata’s can just rail, so that you can pick up more exit speed with that extra hp. Again I’m learning but lmk what you think

@dadhats

Жыл бұрын

could be the case. in general I have a habit of prioritizing minimum speed over exit speed. at this track I was mostly just learning since it was my first time out there. I'd say I was a good second/second and half off pace what I could do with more practice

Hey man I have the opportunity to do a time trial at pocono raceway this weekend but I am undecided what do you think of the road course?

@dadhats

Жыл бұрын

it's decent but it really depends on the layout. you know which one you'd be running? I have a feeling you wouldn't be running north/south course like I have in my videos.

I’d be surprised if it was truly 120 hp. It may be more like around 140 hp or so if it’s a 1.8. I have a 2001 with ITBs and it’s around that power. Mine is a Base model and did not come with ABS.

What do you use for a lap timer? Does it work pretty well? I have heard of people using an external GPS for a better refresh rate but heard using the phone isnt too bad

@dadhats

racechrono! I highly recommend it. also def suggest picking up an external gps, a phone's gps is pretty inaccurate they only update once a second. most external gps are accurate to the tenth if not more

Ive only been at a track twice and neither time was I driving, but i thinks it’s hilarious that miatas tend to be the loudest cars on any given track
