Trackday in the MX5
« on: May 15, 2010, 09:38:16 pm »
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.
