Tsk, Z3's. There was a Z3M buried backwards in a gravel trap at Donington Park today, along with a 944 turbo that overdid it and a few caterhams.

No MX5's (miatas) were hurt. I didn't even spin off this time :)


You're spoiled, Hugo. If there's one thing my Z3M Touring (M coupe to those who don't get the joke) has taught me, it's that the Miata is a fantastically forgiving car, and very easy to drive near its limits. After a couple of years of taking the Miata to the track, I thought I was a pretty respectable driver, and my lap times showed it. The coupe has humbled me.

Not that I'm getting discouraged...off to Laguna Seca with the coupe on Friday.


The miata isn't as fast as an S2000; it is however significantly cheaper and a very well handling car.


And much easier to drive fast than the S2000. On paper, my Miata (stock engine, lots of suspension work) shouldn't be able to hold a candle to an S2000. At Laguna, I can keep up with most of them.

Mk. I in a '90 Miata
Mk. II in a '00 M Coupe
Both track-tested at Laguna Seca, Sears Point, and Thunderhill.
