Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG Mazda Mx5 NC facing BMW drivers

[@izustun9851]

Being light is much more important than having powerful engine, especially for having fun. This video proves that

[@1061shrink1061]

Having had a day discussing steering wheel grip, technique and what your hands do with other mx5 drivers today, your video was a refreshing example of just how it should be done. I was happy to share your fantastic lap as a lesson to others!

[@Lancerakias]

Thank you for your lovely comment. The car has a lot of potential but it needs more power to compete with an M2, M4 etc.

[@1061shrink1061]

@@Lancerakias Agreed. I hope to take mine to the ring next year. It'll be quite a different beast from my previous Megane 275 Cup S.

[@Lancerakias]

@@1061shrink1061 i love the Megane and the way it handles. Now you have a Mini Cooper as i saw on your channel. Mini have the Go-Kart feeling so i think you will definetely have fun with it.

[@1061shrink1061]

I've got a bunch of track days lined up in my MX5 now that it's had its suspension done. I'll try to get some new content up! where / How do you mount the camera in the MX5?

[@Lancerakias]

@@1061shrink1061 I would love to see some mx5 content 😀. I put the camera at the base from wind deflector.

[@rolkabolka]

Very nice and smooth driving with very good turn-ins. It was good to watch :)

[@Lancerakias]

@@rolkabolka thank you very much.

[@stevegreene9149]

Well driven, that was a good lap! It was fast, but sensible and respectful of others. I'm looking forward to buying an NC after having just sold my '88 911. I'm particualrly looking forward to some track days to have some proper fun in it, like this!

[@Lancerakias]

Thank you very much for your kind words. All mx5 are awesome in handling. Unfortunately they lack of power but that can be solved easy. Go for it you won't regret it.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Wonderful skills, love my mx5 nc2 and this is why...

[@Lancerakias]

@@rcmakingtracks18 Thank you for your kind words. Ncs are fantastic cars

[@smeggysmeg2837]

nice driving. surprised they don’t require helmets. you’re moving at a pretty good pace, and I’d want to wear one if I was driving that fast. although maybe a helmet would hit the roof with your height. i’m 6’3” and don’t think I could wear one w the top up.

[@Lancerakias]

In Tourist rides you don't have do wear a helmet but I would if I could. I am 1.84 and with a helmet I hit the roof.

[@philipholland4280]

Good drive, well done. Pity the M4 passed you, he didn't drive very smoothly, and messed up your flow. Very annoying when that happens. Looked like a very busy lap at the end, lots of traffic.

[@Lancerakias]

Thank you my friend. Yes there was a lot of traffic in the track at that day. The m2 at the beginning and this m4 messed up my lap. I think they don't use their mirrors and they don't care about the others. I try to be fair with the other drivers but this time I was really upset but that is the Nürburgring.

[@TTter224]

Hi. I have a question about engine in Your NC. Is stock angine before facelift model ?? Or any change ?? I hear about this before engine some bad news, and i dont know if is good idea to by car 2006 2.0 or only after facelift moder or engine ?? Best regards PS - Nice driving skills !!!

[@Lancerakias]

Yes my nc had the pre facelift 2.0l engine. I had no problems with it but these engines suffer from oil starvation. If you don't skip the maintenance you will be good. You also have to check the oil level frequently. I sold it and i miss it a lot.

[@TTter224]

was stock engine 160HP or some modified ?? Looks fast in corners little slower on straight - but nice tool for fun :)

[@Lancerakias]

@TTter224 it was a fully stock engine. 160hp.

[@TheFracturedfuture]

The NC1 2.0 engine is a great engine. My NC has 220k miles and doesn't leak one bit of oil. I do change the oil and oil filter frequently. I also always use high quality full synthetic and it's never given me issues.

Bonjour quel est ta motorisation ? j'hésite a prendre une 125 cv ou une 160cv quel sont les différence ?

[@Kamal-me5cx]

I have an NC with EBC turbo groove discs and greenstuff pads with stainless stell brake lines and Im surprised you dont have any brake fade on the ring !

[@Lancerakias]

I had a lot of fading. I tried to brake with shifting and use my brakes not so much. The greenstuff are too soft for the ring. I think I will try the yellowstuff this year.

[@Kamal-me5cx]

@@Lancerakias ah okey, I was very surprised. Please upgrade your pads, it's dangerous to go out there with possible brake fade. I think yellow stuff will do the job 👍

[@Lancerakias]

@@Kamal-me5cx I will do my friend. The car has no power so you don't have to brake this hard. I think the yellowstuff will do the job.

[@dominikv6221]

@@Lancerakias You should try hawk hp+ and you will impressed :) (I have tried yellowstuff on swift sport, and I was not impressed.

[@Lancerakias]

@@dominikv6221 I find for the mx5 nc the Hawk HPS and Hawk HT-10 pads. from the price I can tell that the HT-10 are the better. Do you think that the HPS will do the job cause the price difference is big. 😀

Showing off with a touristehfahrten video is not proving skill, it proves recklessness, no regard for others life and property, and that you have enough money (or are stupid enough). It's the 1st rule that it's not a race, people go there for a leisure drive with their own cars, many of them being there the first time. Making it into a competition, showing how "pro" you are compared to all the noobs, is really, really immature...

[@Lancerakias]

@@bencze465 i am driving at the Nürburgring 10 years now. I am not trying to show off. i am using the track to drive fast as i dont want to risk my and the others life in the public road. As i respect the faster cars/drivers and i let them pass, i do want to respect me aswell. Unfortunately that is not the case many times. If you think that i am stupid or immature that is your opinion.

[@LiWo02]

You don't drive bad, but the displayed culture is very toxic. From your side. Yes, you could keep up with an M4, because the driver did not know the track and might have worse skills. But tailgating him against the sun at the end of the track is just dangerous and unnecessary. Your friend's hand gestures are also very ghetto. You are a good driver, but handle your ego when driving in public sessions.

[@Lancerakias]

@@LiWo02 Thank you for your comment. I am driving about 600km to the Nürburgring in order to do about 6-8 laps and again drive back home. It is just frustrating trying to do a clean lap and being not able to do it because of people who dont care about the others. I know it is not a trackday but let be honest everyone go to the ring in order to drive fast. I do respect your opinion though.
