Global MX5 Cup Test at Thompson Speedway 2 - Christian Sarnecki
Here’s a lap of me at Thompson in the Cannoball Storage #44 MX5 Cup car, I love this track and wanted to drive one of these cars on it forever! Finally got the chance and it did not disappoint. The way the ABS feels into turn 1 is insane! And how the car pivots out of the oval is just amazing. Truly privileged to have had this experience, car was amazing and happy to put down a respectable time.
The car was on 12 Cycle VIR tires at the time of this lap, imagine what fresh ones could bring you!
Driver: Christian Sarnecki
Fastest Lap: 1:18.47

Global MX5 Cup Test at Limerock Park - Christian Sarnecki

Here’s my fastest lap at Limerock with the Cannonball Storage #44 car. The car was on used VIR tires but we delivered a decent lap at Limerock given the circumstances. The car is extremely light on its feet at Limerock so it was very difficult to deal with, I understand why they’d never have a cup race here, it’d be a smash fest. Regardless, enjoy the lap!

Brought the my old 1994 Spec Miata outta retirement for this SVRA Spec Miata race, dusted the cobwebs off of it and it did great! SVRA threw a great event at Lime Rock Park and I’m extremely proud to say I was part of the show! Had a great race here, started p2 and got the lead early in the race in turn 1. After that Alex Cunningham kept me honest the entire race by consistently throwing down f...

Here’s some onboard of my 1999 Mazda Miata (SM) in race 1 of the weekend down here at Pittrace. Great race from the beginning, honestly just a battle between myself and keeping a solid distance from the pack.

Here's some onboard of my 1999 Spec Miata (SM) at Thompson Speedway. Always happy to race here at Thompson and proud to call it my home track, pretty intense battle in the beginning with some pretty rough racing.

      @ChristianSarnecki 23 дні тому

      I don’t actually, people who dive on the inside sacrifice their own exit so much that they get easily passed by another car taking a wide entry, it’s textbook “switchback” there’s a couple examples of it on my channel if you’re interested, Thanks!

      It’d be ridiculous if they ran a race here, I can’t even imagine the amount of wrecked cars. But if they were to, a chicane would probably be the best bet I agree…

      Thanks! I appreciate it, definitely difficult dealing with people who drive like that, only thing to do is just keep your head down and drive your race. Sometimes things work themselves out, in this case that other car got caught up with the 3rd place car so it allowed me a quick escape.

    Very very rare to see the fine art of driving like that in any form of Motorsport ,they did not touch each other once as well esp on exits! This was no practice round either . This was full competition mode which shows even more how great these “boys” can drive and race. The entire race was like that lap after lap…. All season. The F1 teams should know the real racers play SpecMiata.

    100% this is how the opening lap of every class of racing should look. Sadly Spec Pinata has gotten its name from the fact that its cheap cars and lack of proper leadership in the sport. "they paid to come here and race too" All about the $$$ to the clubs not about teaching proper racecraft or respect. That is a damn fine bit of driving with you and Nick.
