Thanks for sharing, enjoyed that, always great to see MX5s punching above their weight! Mad (and a bit sad) that the MX5 is the lightweight car here, despite having all the mod cons and comfort... well done Mazda! 🙂

Down to the drivers, a 380 Exige is a formidable track car, fair play to your driving 👍

Great driving! From a fellow Miata owner 🤙

Great driving mate. The Exige on the paper is much more powerfull than the mx5. Super

Looks like a fast track seeing how you were running out in 4th through some of those sweepers! PS4 are a good touring sport tyre, but from the look of it you'd benefit from something a bit grippier.

Did you do anything to stiffen up the Hood ? nice driving would you consider ND2 with kinamatic posture control with same upgrades it would be intereesing match up.
I think Lotus driver was worried about how much he forked out for his Exige compared to the MX5 ND BBR upgrades !!

[Moneyandfood]

Did you have traction control off? I can’t seem to handle my nd2 with TC off!

[courtneyrager]

Great driving, he should have been pulling over tbf- you was a lot faster through the corners

[simonbussey]

Have you considered upgrading to the BBR220 kit?

[MadelnMachines]

Did the BBR 200 really make that much difference (especially on the street)?

[Moneyandfood]

So stock calipers and rotors are good enough?

[cnscm]

It's obvious the MX-5 is quicker around corners

[stewynew]

Do you have the ND1 or 2? If it’s the ND1, have you had the 3rd and 4th gear, gearbox issues?

[jokerrhe]

Is this a softtop? I can't decide 😂

[pokguy]

that exige sounds so good but he ain't getting away from u

$85k 375 hp Lotus.. can't get away from a $27k 155hp Miata
