I had a little fun with my MX-5. At the "Stowe Circuit", Silverstone. Was a Lotus On Track day with a load of Elises, Exiges, etc. Little MX-5 loved it, didn't let me down at all, had an absolute hoot.

The car is standard, bar a "Wheels in Motion" "Fast Road" geometry setup with a set of lowering springs. It handled fantastically well, with just a smidge of liftoff/power on oversteer. Perfectly catchable drifts out of 2nd gear hairpins.
Best bit of the day? The bemused look from an Elise owner when I told him it had no engine work. Awesome.
