  • In this video we drive ‪@Jimmy_Broadbent‬'s Time Attack MX5! This car has a super nice naturally aspirated 1.8L engine and plenty of chassis mods to suit. The only problem was fitting inside...

    Was a pleasure to have you in the car bro.
    The wets were super old so tbh are probably equivalent to a normal road tyre at this point lol.
    We definitely need to find a race we can do together next year 😏

      Nice car and you two are awesome drivers, saw the post on FB first and now the video here is great.
      If I have to compare with F1, I think wet tyres should have benefits on really wet track to get the water off. As soon as you have a dry line (semi) slicks probably would be better.

    Good to see you chatting to Jimmy. He was super friendly when I met him at Snetterton, showed me around Minty (even after it had blown the SR) which he didn't have to do at all.
    Is 2024 going to be the year of collabs and travelling? Misha + Jimmy + SuperGT combo is missing a certain very "prominent" UK ckub racing UA-camr!

    • @dannyDC2
      @dannyDC2  6 місяців тому +26

      You know, the Praga R1 is an absolute marvel in the world of racing machines. The sleek lines, the raw power, the sheer artistry - it's undeniably a masterpiece on wheels. I can't help but admire the engineering brilliance behind it, and I can imagine the incredible rush of driving such a precision instrument. However, when I envision myself in the driver's seat, there's a part of me that hesitates. It's not that I don't appreciate the allure; it's just that I've come to realise that my driving style and the Praga's aggressive spirit might not be the perfect match. It's like having immense respect for a work of art in a gallery but knowing deep down that it wouldn't quite fit in your living room. So, while I'll continue to admire the Praga R1 from afar, I'll leave the exhilarating drives to those who can truly appreciate and unleash its full potential.

    I wonder if those wets were actually overheating on their surface, as much of the track was pretty dry.
    Being an owner of a track prepped 330bhp NA MX-5, im surprised how little grip you had with so little torque.
    Oh and there's a reason I have a 290mm steering wheel on mine 😂 Never had an issue with the pedal spacing personally.

    • @dannyDC2
      @dannyDC2  6 місяців тому +1

      There’s a difference between losing grip and not having grip. They felt like the latter. Track wasn’t dry

      I saw The Stig at a supermarket near Donington Park. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
      The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
      When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
