Race 2 - 2023 Mazda MX-5 Cup At St. Petersburg Street Course

[@launis2000]

@imsa Thank you so much, for your amazing coverage of your series here on KZbin. One small thing, though. I wish you would show the points standings, before and after each race. Doing so, would make it so much easier to follow the series as a whole, and not just individual races. Pretty please :D

[@imsaofficial]

Thanks for your feedback. You can always visit www.mx-5cup.com/ to view the 2023 Championship Standings on the homepage of their website.

@@imsaofficial As we’re watching after the fact its very likely the result would get spoiled for us 😢

[@launis2000]

@@imsaofficial I Know and I do. It would just really add to the broadcast.

[@SpeedRacer_IRL]

Wow, even for MX-5 standard that was a big one at the end

[@DQRambo]

I don't understand all the hate... This event is amazing! maybe the race can be extended to 1hour. The issue was that drivers were doing full send on a very unforgivable street circuit but that's what makes it fun! Thank you IMSA!

[@richard9436]

You were not there sitting in the sun for 45 minutes of yellow. GT race was 8 laps of green in 45 minutes. Not worth it to be there live. Keep doing that to the fans and see how long you last.

@richard9436 If you decide not to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather of Florida in March, you can always stream Mazda MX-5 Cup races on IMSA.com/tvlive. Thanks!

[@DQRambo]

@@richard9436 the GT race did have a lot of yellow. I think you should make that comment in that video. It's in the GTWorld channel.

[@matthewmickles1997]

It was a great race just need a quicker cleanup crew no urgency to clear the track, & that is evident.

[@chidogg93]

@@matthewmickles1997 volunteer crew typically. So racing needs to start paying these guys

Thanks again IMSA 🤩👌 This is Legit 😬

This circuit is wild ! 😄🙌🏼

@IMSA thx✌✌

[@servejorna8813]

it's very different from europe mx-5, i love this close racing💖💖

[@tedzehnder961]

The audio out on the track was a wreck for both races and that was the only thing for a prick like me to complain about.Racing is excellent and I like Shea Adams laugh very melodic.John could make a dull race interesting and both announcers know the drivers and cars really well and up to date for the top ten. That`s harder than you think.

[@andreking7138]

I think my little brother would love ❤️ a car 🚙 like this.

[@SmallBlogV8]

Pockets of great action, but I'm pretty sure the AMR recovery crew got as much track time as the racecars this weekend, across all the different series. I wonder if the venue organisers need to reconsider the layout or surface of this track...

[@matthewmickles1997]

Just need a quicker cleanup crew

[@tedzehnder961]

They should have a way to pick up the wall and get the wrecks off the track.A wheeled crane should do it.I`m American but am embarrassed how "hefty" track workers are and how slow they move.If they are this bad the yellows should all be red flags and stop the clock too.Drivers and spectators get ripped off and I`d be looking for the nearest watering hole if I was Down Town, St. Pete.

[@stephencardamone1320]

This series is so fucking cool idc

[@imJGott]

miata racing is always controlled chaos to watch

[@bryonkidder6199]

Why do they have a 10 minute caution when a car hits the wall and drives off the track? Other than that, it was a great race...imo

[@JonathanEzor]

Double feature!

[@tevincampbell5202]

Hmm why do they keep trying to over take on the outside of turn 3 that's a sure crash it's off the racing line and and extremely slippery 🙄

[@Spartan_Pope]

What determines the starting grid for race #2? Also for those that crashed, in order to continue in the series, do they have to repair the car or can it be replaced with another car?

[@SelinRollan]

Both are viable options. It all depends on how much damage and if the check clears

[@g8rfan1]

Fastest lap between qualifying and fast lap in race 1

Someone’s always gotta pull a low percentage move #wreakmiata

[@robertheymann5906]

Aggression supercedes talent evidently

[@richard9436]

Yeah, I won't be doing that again. SRO GT race had about 8 green flag laps out of 45 minutes. This race was mostly run on yellow. Yes it is a narrow road course but the track crew needs to clean up in half the time to make it a worthwhile race. I'm not paying to watch 60%+ yellow flag laps! Figure it out.

[@The23axe23]

Good for you.

[@samkamps3]

They aren't going to be reading your comment and thinking "Ooh! This random dude on KZbin has a point!".

[@Pericles0330]

...why are you paying? It's free on KZbin.

[@gtrutty]

Okay, don’t go next time. We don’t need your negativity anyway.

[@hitmaneoin]

I adore Shea but she has to stop yelling "Oh no!" every time someone is involved in even the smallest incident....

[@NikiN1]

Then, replace with "Oh Sh1t" ???
