The MX-5 cup is such a great series. It’s baffling that bigger sports networks will show things like corn hole and darts, but not this incredible series.

[RickFL]

This series is some of the best racing I’ve ever seen tbh and it doesn’t hurt that I can look in my garage and say without too much stretch of the imagination “yeah I own a legit race car”

[AyaxRo]

This is completely true. Best spec series out there by a long shot. So thankful that IMSA now posts them on YT on the same weekend.

After starting iracing and loving the mx-5 im stoked to see people do it in real life

[Rerags_]

it's pretty funny how this championship puts out banger of races almost every single time they go onto a track while in other series like f1 they have maybe one race every season just close to this good

[dylanleeFLY]

im one of the mechanics for spark performance in the mx-5 cup series. love the video. and if your at any of the races come by and say hi!

[staceygarrison]

I this series. I've watched every race since 2021 and get excited every race weekend

[TheMrFishnDucks]

Nice video. Thank you for making this video, you had me hyped before but didn't know much about it. 45 minutes is perfect length especially with the massive timezone differences for me. Hopefully you cover more of this series in 2024. Thank you for including where the races will be broadcast. Keep up the good work.

I got into the series in 2021. Such an amazing series!

I fell in love with this series just this year. The racing is great. Very competitive but still able to overtake. Flis performance made a decnt little race platform out of the mx5, i like the way they look. Hope the erseries continues to grow. Hope Imsa sees the potential we all do.

[richardplascencia]

Really loving this close racing series! Bummer, no races out here in the west coast.

[daytonamedia]

We had many opportunities with the Hixons and now moving onto BSI. I have tons of unused media and behind the scenes of all the cars being built designed and wraped.

[pumpkinking]

Watched both races at Daytona the other
Really good racing.

[slipstreamperformance]

Come chat with the teams next time at the track. Happy to show you atound on some more technical sides of things on what makes these cars so awesome. VIR is next week then off to Atlanta for Petite weekend.
Hope to meet soon.

Really great video. I've said it many times before, and I'll say it many times again, but the MX5 Cup is the most exciting race series out there right now. Possibly ever?

[RickOAA]

This, the Sundae Cup, B-Spec, and 24 hours of lemons are some of the most entertaining racing out there. Plus it's relatable 😄

[ac_motorsports]

I live 1 hr away from CTMP and am so bummed that I didnt even know about it! Its a super high-speed track.

I really want to make it out to one of these races in 2025!

[UGAfan]

Can't wait for you to see them at Daytona if you haven't already best races of the weekend for sure

[yanal]

Great video! But a minor correction: Flis Performance receives Sport trim level cars as those are the cheapest ones to buy; 16inch wheels, no limited slip differential, standard shocks (as opposed to Bilstein's on the Club and GT trims), and cheaper interior plastic.

Love the coverage on this! I started watching last season and was hooked now im trying to set up an mx5 spec series in the new forza. We went as far as emailing sedev to get the proper gear ratios so everyone is on the same playing field. Do you have a favorite driver?
