Casey you should focus more on the road Camera because it makes it easier to follow the course and whatnot. You could always use the facecam in the corner with the main camera being the road cam.

I agree
100% agree
Maybe he doesn't want us to see his lines! Haha
even on Sim
those cars are so fun to drive
low power, low weight, nice distribution
lovely cars
They are the same in real life with all the great fun of blasting around the countryside!
Miatas are awesome
I don’t know how much faith to put in sims, but I have both more fun and even get better lap times than many faster cars. Makes me really want to get a real one.
@@salvatoreshiggerino6810 allot of real pro's such as driver61 say the iracing mx-5 is near identical to real life
Great review Casey, we were impressed with how quickly you got up to speed and hope we can get you into a GMX-5 race soon!
Well it was easy in such a well prepared car with a good team. I look forward to see you guys again soon!
Every Miata driver wishes they were you right now, obviously myself included! They definitely did a great job at keeping the NDs power extremely linear and predictable which is fantastic for everything this car was designed for. Enjoyed the video as always!
Even a stock Miata with good tires is a blast on a track. That thing would induce face-hurting smile paralysis. Really reconsidering my C6.
Do it, it's an amazing daily and track car, but I would recommend waiting after covid. I bought my 2016 off a salvage auction almost 2 years ago for cheaper than they're selling now. Also the clutch is amazing, I've taught a close to 10 people how to drive stick on it and almost half of them didn't even stall.
I knew I recognized that Viper in the parking lot. I work for one of the teams. We’ll be back in a couple weeks!
Literally every Miata front grill:
:D
The happiest car around :D they're even happy to just be there.
My favorite part is where you say you're not going to talk so you can concentrate. And then you're talking again five seconds later. And I grin and say thanks for taking us along for the ride, Casey. And that series should hire you as their pitchman or announcer or something, like driver of the camera car for Wide World of Sports.
Please use more front facing camera with the speedo and RPM graphics. Put your side camera in the lower right.

Casey’s next project car: Ferrari killer Miata
The Mazda Miata is my favorite car, but I don't think it's going to be beating modern ferreri.
@@lordflufffluff hmmmmmmm
This looks like so much fun, im mega jelly.
That's so great! I hope to be able to get into road style track racing at some point.
I love driving cars that handle well. Straight line acceleration doesn't really hold me the way a finely tuned, balanced, beautifully handling car does.
80K is a lot of money, but that seems like a lot of value for a real race car.
Thats very reasonable for entry level racing. There a canadian series that use the Nissan Micra which is about 25-30k. I was told you could do a whole season for about 150k thats excluding major rebuilds from crashes, which is very worth the money if what i was told is true. Considering budgets that are required for the other series that the MX-5s share events with, you wont find a better bang for your buck. The North American Carrera Cup series that runs with IMSA, SRO, Indycar is about 50k a weekend, and they get the same amount of track time as the MX-5s. And just because I dug up the $$ figures I have, for a GTD seat in the Rolex 24, its upwards of 150k for just the race weekend, excluding the mandatory roar test. A full season is over 1mil
This makes me REALLY want a street legal MX5 cup-car
Racing the MX5's in Iracing is a blast as well. Maybe one day i'll get a chance to race one in real life.
As a grassroots spec miata racer I'm super happy to vicariously live through you haha! I want to drive one of these GMX5s SO bad one day. I'll get there someday. Love seeing you testing cars, and doing what you're doing! keep it up, Casey!!
I love the MX5 Cup class. Its all about driver skill and leads to awesome racing. (Aside from karting of course). Like you said said. Its so evenly balanced it leads to amazing races where drivers are constantly battling and its ultimately up to driver skills and not the person who has the best car or the most money. I feel this way with GT4 and GT3 as well even though thats top tier level racing, they really do there best to get the balance of performance between all the different manufactures to create great racing where its ultimately the Team and the Drivers ability to win. With so many variable to consider its amazing.
great to see you hook up with the Flis family, they are a great bunch and know their stuff (they ran the Spirit of Daytona Daytona Prototype team), one good thing is that Todd is a great driver himself so he knows what he's doing.
Mx 5 cup is the best racing series. Not the most glamorous, but the best and most entertaining to watch.
Fantastic video, Caesy! That sequential dogbox is sweet. I think I recall hearing Joseph Newgarden saying that they pull the most G's in turn one, and your Miata was pulling around 1.2G, so you were on it! I can't wait for the next video.
Yes sir!
That explains the crazy fast shifts I was hearing out of the international horseshoe.
Good points, It doesn't have to be too quick to have a great race. Low weight cars are a lot of fun, that's for sure.
Nice clean setup there I should say. Nothing too overwhelming for any driver, the usual stuff you'd expect.
Holy hell this thing rotates, gotta check out what the wheelbase is, guess karting comparison is really close.
As an MX-5 owner and fan of the channel. I wholeheartedly approve of this! What took you so long to get into one of these?
THIS is the good racing 😁
Thanks for bringing us along for the ride, Casey 😎👍
Next Genius Garage Student Project: MX5 Cup Car
Just left the Grand Prix in St Petersburg. The last race of this season for the mx-5 cup series. Love watching the mx-5s race.
*mY mIaTa Is BeSt MiAtA*
Sorry, just watched Regular Car Reviews' latest NB Miata.
This is awesome. I've not been to a race in person since the Indy Grand Prix of Alabama in 2010 when it was a 3 hour fiasco with a 4 year old to get back to remote parking. If MX-5 cup comes to Barber I might have to go see it.
Go see it. I was at Mid-Ohio for three days this past weekend and the MX-5s were the highlight of it all, IMO.
They have most of the old races on YT. Many of the same drivers year-to-year. Was fun to see them go by in person.
I was on the fence on selling my ND miata and getting something more reasonable. I think imma go the opposite way and put it on coilovers and tune it 😅
i love the sound of a racing gearbox!
The MX-5 Cup car is what taught me how to really race in Iracing. What a great cheap solution, yes I did spend almost 4k on a VR racing sim a couple years back but I still love revisiting the cup series!! As a goalie and a licensed pilot/engineer, if you can't afford to do it in real life or you don't want to jump right into the game, play the game, train in the simulation, harness your skills, then take them to the track or air! Great video baud!
lol.. i feel like casey is a mix between a airline pilot and an auctioneer in this one.. liked
How tall of a driver can a cup car fit? Also, what is the operational cost of this adult go kart?
Can't wait to drive one at the road to 24 :)
my tip: u have to be smoother mid corner its scrubbing speed and from the data traces much more aggressive and consistent on the brakes
still pretty decent for your first time!
This is a really cool vid, thanks for documenting!
what an informative video. exactly what i was looking for. thank you!
Why are all the Genius Garage vs Rabbit's Nascar videos gone?? Have you backed down or something??
We will no longer associate with that cuannel
Casey Putsch cuannel.... i thought you used a “big” “book” word and googled it. I gave you far to much credit for a typo
@@CaseyPutsch what's the story behind it? I'm just genuinely curious, I feel like I missed something. edit: ohhh ok I watched his videos. man that dude is a wimp and a liar. Glad you don't mess with him anymore.
Thank God they left the cup holder in.
Casey, you have to look into the NIssan Micra Cup. similar if not less in terms of cost, but its Canada only (ON+QC). Races are very engaging to watch.
Fwd no thanks
this video makes me wish there was some drone footage following the car around the track like in a video game
Great video. I have been watching yours and 🐇 Robs channel. He kinda showed his as$ on his channel. I understand why you had a change of ❤️ for the race . Your values are in the right place with educating the next generation and Rabbit 🐇 more at ego, loop hole rules and how much $$$ can I throw at it!
Thank you
I wonder if Mazda required the SADAV this year because of all the trans failures in previous years. It's too bad the grassroots track MX-5s have to use the delicate H-transmissions. Non-Cup MX5s still have the problem with the glass transmission. Bummer.
Wondering what's involved in adding the SADAV to our NDs. Not that I would unless got a great deal or a used one. Not likely tho since the price appears to be in the 5 digits.
@@michaelcohen5076 It requires ECU changes to handle the shifts. The cup cars run a different ECU than the production cars and their ECU requires changes as well. I haven't heard of any production car that has switched to a sequential.
Excuse my ignorance, but with the dog boxes in these cars, do you have a clutch that you have two work?
Who downliked this video. How can you not love a miata
Probably an anti masker because he is wearing a mask.
The answer is always miata
Miata Is Always The Answer
Im gonna shut up and focus. That lasted about 6 seconds 🤘🏻😂
I wonder why pulling back is usually upshift.
Why is the cup holder in the car? I hit it with my elbow and take it out when not using it. Strange to see them keep it in the car.
Yeah... Its not like I already wanted an NDII or anything 😅
I want to track my na miata so bad. I’m only 17 and really want to get involved in autocross or time attack.
You absolutely should, I started out with my '90 in autocross and now have a 180whp '91 that I get out to the track as often as i can, all you need for autocross is really a good set of tires and brakes. Hawk hps pads are great for autox and light track use and I cant recommend the Toyo Proxes R1Rs enough
Love these driving videos
What’s the maximum wheel rotation?
Looks like a blast. I've been racing this series in iRacing using an H-pattern and clutch (honestly thought that's how they were), but i guess I'm just wasting time trying to heel-toe with everyone. Anyone know if the proper set up then is sequential with auto-blip? He says hes right foot braking at the end of the back straight and doesn't seem to be doing anything fancy with his feet.
Shut up and drive, Casey. LOL Of course, now I want one!
Awesome video 👍🏽
Looks like fun!
I'm curious, before becoming a UA-cam presenter, did you remark about the car and your driving while you raced (or testing)? ;-)
exertion noises intensify
There is also Ginetta g40 that may be a cheaper option than this and same fun or even better 165hp/800kg dogbox sequential 6
I really wish I fit in a Miata.
Have you tried getting into a ND? I have a freind who's 6'2 and he fit into it fine.
See I'd rather the Cup car remain fully manual, because these spec series are supposed to be about which driver is the best driver, and this is taking out one of the functions that the driver has to do.
#savethemanuals
I love Miatas. Sucks theyre getting more expensive.
Things you can say during both sex and driving: oh I LIKE you, OH, this is fun
They could move that cage back a little bit and allow for a much taller driver
Caseys 6’2.... giants in miatas
Also why dont they run a small turbo and got like 275 ish wheel?
That would be incredibly counter productive
Casey...
Dude...
Great review but you talk little bit too much
All this for 80 grand? Pfft, I'd take this over a Porsche or BM-Double-Douche for a daily any day of the week.
It's not street legal, track only. Sigh 0(
@@michaelcohen5076 Doesn't look like it'd take much to make it street legal. Especially if Cleetus can make Leeroy street legal.
@@irdmoose IIUC it has no vin and its not home built. But who knows? if you can get a referee to agree.
@@michaelcohen5076 If I followed what Casey said in the first video, they buy them stock from Mazda and then mod them, so they would have to be issued a VIN.
👍👋👋👋😁
Should have raced Rabbit.
Rabbit should not have done a bait and switch with the car, he should not have been trying to exploit "gray areas" like the fat guy said in the video. And he should have driven his own damn car. In other words he should have been up front, with what he was doing, rather than being a typical lying used car salesman. I mean he did say in his "cat's out of the bag video", he is now "looking for another sucker"...
@@BloodSweatandGears I agree with most of what you're saying. But I also think Casey should not have backed out. Rabbit talked shit, Casey got scared and didn't want to take the ego hit if he lost. Rabbit technically wasn't breaking any of the rules that they both agreed to. In any competition, you try to get any advantage you can if your ultimate goal is to win. That's just the way competing goes. Mind games is part of it too. Rabbit isn't the most ethical dude, but I'd rather be that than pussy out because I'm afraid to lose. Lose with confidence and pride and no one will give you shit. Backing out sticks with you and makes you look way worse than taking an L. Not only that Casey went back in his word which is kind of all you have between guys.
darn it. i saw race suit and expected to see corvette vs stock car..... leave it to 2020 to ruin something exciting.... this and meth gators.... 'sigh'.....
80k is wayyy to expensive to strip a car, throw in a dog box and roll cage...
you really have no clue what goes into those cars
@@supersevenn excuse my ignorance but enlighten me? Ive got a lot to learn but installing a fire restraint system and some nice suspension and data acquisition software ... I mean... I get it. "Spec miata bro"
Isnt all this stuff on paper nowadays with what these cars like? I get that a lot of things go into it but if you can make yourself aware of other peoples mistakes you can avoid quite a few and put yourself into the competition with the right connections and a lot less money that 68 or 80k... Odd that the difference between one with and without a seat is 12gs
Go manage a business for a couple years before you make a comment like this.

What did you win?
be nice...
Brad Markus wins! :)
psst...
...i got a blue shell for ya...
@@AkiraSRT9 never answer a question asked by a pet detective.
I loved so much H pattern variant in iracing, with sequental it's already not so fun to drive🥲
