BC Coilovers 8/6kg
Rodders front pads, EBC yellow rear
195/50/15 AD08R
1050KG dry weight

Wow I’m impressed, knowing how “slow” the mx5 is and knowing it’s only a minute down on much faster cars is extremely impressive to me.

The miata is "slow". In america at least where turns basically don't exist. But on a track or a twisty road (touge) they are really fast and it's even more impressive when taking into considerstion that they have only 110-140 ish hp. (NA NB model)

"slow" is relative... im planning to buy one next year and i live in germany next to the "harz" (a highland area with the highest mountain being 1200m high) so that would basically be twisty road heaven and the perfect playground for the smol mx5

That was fun to watch! I just bought an NB Miata a couple of weeks ago and it's the best car I've ever driven. There's something to be said for cars that are purely about the joy of driving.
what a great lap, good job!
Wow! What an excellent drive! Thank you for taking us along with you! I’ll probably never get to experience my nb on Nurburgring but this is close enough. I LOVE the windscreen whistle above 200km/h, mine does the same!
Damn awesome drive buddy! Well done!

Oh hello old friend. Thank you very much
Excellent driving, the level of confidence is fantastic. One with his car.
Awesome driving.. I get all proud of my lap times around the small autocross track at lime rock and then I watch stuff like this and think "I am nothing"
That's a great time for a car with stock power. An old performance car magazine I had quoted 9 min dead in a mk1 Suzuki swift sport (slightly slower) driven by a pro driver who worked at the ring so you did good!!
Man this driving is awesome!

Absolutely….that Miata corners like a wet cat
Fantastic display of momentum driving. Very quick lap despite low maximum speed. Makes me think my NC would be capable of this or a little faster if i had your skills.
Very fast, same car but only manage to do 9min BTG!
Cracking up at how quick this is on a skinny little 195 tire! I think the Prius comes with the same
Amazing drive!!!
You can drive mate. Nice lap in the little Miata.
Balls of steel.
Great driving 😮
La NB 😍 !
Insane!
Respect!
Yes lad!
You drive it so good and tight im guessing you are familiar with the track? I am too-but only from playing it a thousand times on xbox forza motorsport!! I posted a 6.30 time on there once-only once-but i was high on drugs at the time lol. Superb driving-very decent time. Nice 1 👍👍👍
Lets goo
this is fucking sick bro
insane
OMFG really fast!
Nice
👍😊👊💥
this video hits so much harder after putting a few dozen hours in trying to do the same in Assetto Corsa
Wow that’s fast even though you got held up two times
Cameron that was a great lap and a really enjoyable watch, thank you for sharing. May I ask which model of NBFL yours is? I noticed somewhere between 1 min and 1 min 30 that the gear stick was moving around a bit under cornering and wondered if you have under chassis bracing installed like you get on the sport version?

Thank you Andy. Mine is the svt model so has all factory bracing. One of the rubber boots in my shifter had split prior to this lap so might have been due to that
Awesome driving this makes me want to track my nb. Is yours strato blue too?
yeeeehaaaa wp
Great Lap with traffic! Without you would have been at least 6 seconds faster I guess!
Nice drive! What's your alignment?
The other crazy thing about this lap is the AD08r isn’t even a hardcore semislick
6:30 Heheh, you passed the Porsche
Nice - great driving! Please wear a helmet next time ;-)
Well. Looks like I need a 6speed VVT in mine. That gearing looks so much fun. Did you ever get out of 3rd gear?

Thanks man, I honestly have no idea since it's been nearly 2 years and lots of trackdays + ~15k road miles since it was last done. I had it set to -2.5 front -2 rear with some toe out on the front and some toe in on the rear. Can't quote numbers on those unfortunately.
Bro, your glovebox door doesn’t tilt, what’s your secret? 😋
Alignment?

Thanks mate. Yes just TF. I'll probably bring the same setup to the ring next year but source some used ar1 or direzza in 195/50/15 and see what I can do 😁 Probably expose loads of weakness in the car with more grip but whatever

Then the nex time out there lost a ground. made my temp gauge go haywire, thought id blown the engine lol. Pretty much all this year mine has been in bits, doing a suspension refresh, polybushes, new wheel bearings ball joints etc. Cant wait to get it back together and on track again!
