Electronic G-Force Meter? Nah - sink plug on a chain - love it. The nudge at 6.45 and the thumbs up - heroic.

[@Gamezoneadi]

😂sink plug

[@josephrainey5535]

Now that looks like a blast!!! Great driving!!

[@ricknoah9184]

I love watching someone drive 10/10. Dude has deep apex passing down to an art form. Extremely well set-up car as it let him pretty much get the car to do exactly what he wanted. Well done !

[@davidburne9477]

Exactly!..Lots of front end grip. Not pushing like, for example, the powder blue car at about 5 minute mark.

[@remissiveslave]

Way more entertaining than prototypes or Nascar.

[@CarlR4243]

now if only i could get my IRacing car to perform this well on MX-5's

[@floridaman964]

​@@CarlR4243 The iRacing MX5 is dog

[@PhilHx85]

​@@davidburne9477but it didn't prevent that blue car to bump to his rear in the the first corner as soon as he overtook him at 05:22 Was the blue car's driver fustrated? 😅

[@Bracing1]

What a drive dude, MX-5 is a mega car to race in

[@__fu]

A mega car? Seriously?

[@Bracing1]

@@__fu for close racing for sure

[@stoney3694]

@@__fuif you want super intense races at comfortable speeds for the normal person the mx5 is a great platform! Sure from the sidelines it looks slow but in the cockpit it’s a blast

[@bobhenry6159]

Patiently aggressive. Well done. These Miata series prove that high speed isn't the main ingredient to great racing.

[@chinqlinq89]

Hell yea. I watched MX5 cup at Daytona this year and fell in love. For a field that large the level of driving nearly across the board is insane. I’d expect the people spinning each other out driving bumper to bumper but everyone seems respectful and highly skilled.

[@Ermz]

Damn I love this new iRacing graphics update.

[@cpt_anthony]

hello there Mr hamsandwhich

[@noduj]

Wish the MX5 races would get more attention, always super close racing, sadly racing nowadays is all about the speed instead of battles.

[@nicolasbilal8769]

I watch a lot of F1 mostly because of the FSP that it’s easy to access, and there are a lot of people to talk to about it, but I find this way more entertaining.

[@jinbaittai85]

This was amazing to watch. Looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing.

[@313power]

Great drive and racing skills. It's one thing being fast while alone, but being fast when fighting tooth and nails is another story.

[@ArtHill-ul8jq]

He was truly “in the zone.” I’ve only been there once or twice for a brief time, but he was feeling it. A thing of beauty.

[@BrendanEvan]

Amazing Driving skill was amazing to watch plus the excitement from these little cars being so close so often is incredible. Bump drafting never ceases to amaze me either. 😅

[@HeyItsEmilyLove]

This looks like so much fun. As an Ohioan, I really want to drive on Mid-Ohio. Great job and awesome video! You just got yourself a new subscriber 😊

[@aviador3522]

Good racing and it shows this driver knows lines, late braking and earlier on throttle…truly enjoyed watching this race

[@Tangster1205]

Great Driving... So much more pace. Wonder how you do if you were in the top 10 at the start? One of my favorite tracks.

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

Mad MX5 track guy from Down Under totally luv’n this…!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@fastpaced_gt]

Your pace was amazing that race, absolutely outstanding!

[@jeffgallishaw8507]

I like your analog g-force meter

[@erikbrown8219]

Undeniable proof you don't need 600 , 500 or even 300 horsepower to have an absolute white hot blast on a racetrack!!

[@Gcanno]

F1 Drivers All Drive Karts .

[@dautolover]

Man, I was hoping to see your lap time on that last lap (it was the only lap where you were unimpeded by other cars).

[@sl-je5fg]

Is it a Miata Mx5 ND? Also your racing is next level, did you make any mistakes? Cause I couldn’t spot them

[@kennycapes]

Thanks for uploading. Love it. What a drive. Shame about the red flag. Could of got higher. Some great over takes. Shame about the ride hight issue starting you from the back. Made for some great overtakes though. Keep uploading when you can.

[@-justdoit]

Super mega puper driving!!!! From such a race I got a lot of pleasure!

[@978Kitcat]

Why were you waiving at other drivers(or shaking your fist)? Looked like the one driver inadvertently turned on the hazards? You are a master of the inside pass. Some cars had more straight line speed but you out brakes them and claimed the line through the curve. This racing is not for the faint of heart! I have driven my lightly prepared ND2 many times at MidOhio and this was unbelievable!

[@scooterb6082]

This is absolutely insane lol

[@wilcox2146]

I only wish iracing had this clean racing. I kept expecting that turn 1 pile up that never came..

[@JASPACB750RR]

This is absolutely eargasmic! Makes me want a Miata.

[@TheLightningwrath]

Never thought I would see a bump draft in practice

[@regibson23]

This isn't practice.

[@massaj88]

Homie put the Konami Code in with his steering wheel buttons

[@newtypeJP]

Omgosh at the 3:30 mark i am like this guy is just ripping it so hard. Amazing to watch pov.

[@HeyItsEmilyLove]

Wow. iRacing graphics are getting crazy

[@blaisemonteforte5446]

I see you have the high performance brake cheat code. 🤙🏾

[@Buner-qe5tu]

You were hustling! Very nice.

[@dieterbohlen3370]

That was some suckness towards the end! Great racing!

[@ethinallen]

Hey Sam, if you are ever on iracing I'd appreciate getting to do some laps with you (behind you)

[@joshbedo8291]

Nice driving i dont think I saw you hit the brake once lol was kind of surprised by that at least the brake/throttle thing never showed braking.

[@Yvag]

Great driving sr.

[@terryallen9546]

Well, now I have an idea why people race that car. Great work!

[@slowsword]

Might be a dumb question, but how are you shifting so fast? Is it just a throttle lift to go up a gear?

[@JuanCarlos06]

This kinda looks like my commute from work when I see other Miata in the highway 😂

[@DannyGiusa]

Of course the iRacing sponsored driver bumped drafted, top lad!

[@zero_udk]

Amazing driving

[@Oxengroove]

whaaat a drive! Ultra Fast Thinking! woow!

[@Spyker8921]

The sound...

[@gs3racing594]

Wow nice drive!

[@everythinggaming7938]

nice, do you play iRacing I love racing these on the sim

[@smokinC5]

Well yea, you are fast when you dont use the brake. Good cheat code!

[@Likosak]

The new iRacing update looks cool.

[@20mrspiggy]

bump drafting goes crazy

[@ExSheriffFattyBoySkinnyArms]

Thaaat must have been so much fun!!

[@Ozlozcircuitresearch]

Man i love ❤️ 1 make series its the biggest pissing contest of all time

wow wow its pretty high quality race!!

[@fastpaced_gt]

6:49 👍

[@rawbfuller5221]

EPIC!

[@Gamezoneadi]

How rev match while trail braking? Do u have abs?

[@bobbates7343]

What is that object that sticks out of the dash and seems to move side to side . Has a red something on top of it

[@spartan12367]

Just to be sure, does that means that ND2 mx5 always uses sadev sequential gearbox when nd1 are h manual ?

[@pipilangstrumpf7076]

Engine sounds so nice

What a legend

[@alexsurh1472]

I thought this was iracing at first. Holy shit this is intense!

[@LindquistCS]

Just out of curiosity, why did the #15 car have their hazard lights on (or whatever those flashing lights were)?

[@__fu]

Because

[@gregmorris2022]

Why was #15 rockin the hazard lights?

[@joevogt6804]

What was that in lap 6: Asking for a bump-draft and getting one. Is that how it's done regularly in real life?

[@dcmoreno12]

I run in SM, the child version of this class. You'll get a bump draft from the person behind you if A) they know you're faster, and after the next corner they won't see you again, so why fight and lose time? I rather push you, pick up a few tenths that lap, and keep racing. He won't slow me down the next corner so I'll do it. Or B) the front pack is bump drafting so if I don't use a bump draft buddy, I'll never catch the lead group. It's also pretty fun to get a bump draft... In the heat of the moment, by throwing your hand up asking for one, you can definitely trick someone into bumping you who was previously planning to go for a pass. It also tells them you're down to work together.

[@joevogt6804]

@@dcmoreno12 Thank you very much for this insight! I saw bump drafts in some sim racing streams and got myself my first two one a couple of days ago in a racing sim on track in Monza (RaceRoome). But I always thought this is a "sim racing only thing", way beyond real racing. Seems I watched for too long the wrong real racing footages ;-)

[@mannnygz]

@@joevogt6804 lol you bump the car in front, transferring your momentum to them. i think the physics work out in real life too

[@lukasmorski-zmij8030]

Looks more fun than faster cars .If you were just 1% more aggressive you could end up in accident .

[@larrymanning5925]

Looks so real. I wonder if people even know if it's real or not? Seems like the people in the comments think it's real?

[@bobbates7343]

it is real
