Feels good man.

It looked like the only place the F car could really pull away was the banked strait where its power and aerodynamics could really help it out. Inspirational for anyone wanting to plop a V8 into a MX5.

Great driving, awesome car. Loved how it dispatched everything else on the track like they were standing still. Hard to tell but I have a feeling the 430 would have stretched out his power advantage just a bit each lap if he didn't get caught up in traffic and throw all the speed away constantly. Props to the Miata driver tho, I'm sure it takes much more skill to drive that car at that pace than it would the Ferrari.

Being held up by a GTR? Damn. The last lap was admirable.

Thanks all. Was great fun for sure. Being able to run a Grassroots effort Miata with the big $ cars and drivers and keep pace was a goal that we are close to achieving.

Just having fun now with a finished project that was almost 2 years of hard work.

Didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but got the gist in the first minute or so. Point by from GTR = priceless.
