Great to see you visiting my area!

[@LeRoiDelaRue]

Great camera work Lovely road positioning What's with the left foot braking? What's the point?

[@FailMachineInc]

thanks for this

[@davidthiga2184]

This looks interesting you enjoy mx5 😂😂we also enjoy you videos so cheers waiting for more ......And for a reminder we are still waiting for a video on HOW YOU CAN CHANGE GEAR WITHOUT PRESSING CLUTCH DOWN

[@RichardFanders]

Thank you, I decided not to do a video on that because it is damaging to modern gearboxes that aren't designed to do it. It's possible but not good.

[@richfixescars]

Lovely stuff. Also try hillclimbs, the MX-5 is small and agile, ideally suited. Prescott hill climb near Cheltenham run a driver's day.

[@RichardFanders]

Awesome! Sounds good.

Hi Richard. Was there fuel avaliable at the track?

[@rogerdickinson6944]

Nice videos. £200 seems costly for a set of pads though!

[@RichardFanders]

Cheapest track pads I know of for this car.

Nice vid

[@artemkatelnytskyi]

Do you ever get the chance to drive with the top down? Also, do brakes get used up in one track day?

[@RichardFanders]

Yes, in the thumbnail the top is down, roof up for filming because of sound. The brakes have done 5 days so far, just about another day left in them. Brake wear is very variable depending on the pad - discs don't matter just avoid drilled and grooved as they don't have a benefit only look pretty. Drilled tend to crack. Road pads will be destroyed in one day and you will have reduced braking and possible brake judder as they can't handle the heat. There are some pads that last a very long time but then they tend to be terrible on the drive before and after the day. I switch between road pads and a low level track pad, the original Mazda road pads are great on the road so I use them on the road as much as possible. I'm currently using Ferodo DS2500 on track, they're just about good enough on track and work on the road to get me there and back. I've just bought some Roddison pads to try out on track. Best track pads I've had are Carbon Lorraine RC5+ but you can't get them for the ND MX5 and they're not good on the road. EBC yellowstuff work but wear very quickly and are noisy, Padgid RS 4-2 are similar to the Ferodo DS2500 but a bit better from memory. That's all I've tried.

@@RichardFanders that's very comprehensive, thanks!
