The ego of that GT3 RS driver isn't going home intact. Stunning driving.
+Noah B Can't keep up with an MX-5 :D He probably doesn't even know who is driving!
+Noah B yeah, I'll bet he had to go home and rethink his life. lol
+Xentenon Miata's are usually the fastest cars at track days anyways. You can floor it out of corners without worrying about oversteer, whereas other cars worry about oversteer or brakes.
lmao, that is soooo true. Porsche-bro went home and wept under his blanket.
yeah it wasn't a race though
This is why I tell people, "If you go to an open track day, and you want to know the fast line, try to follow the Spec Miata guys around."
whats a spec miata
@@behindthen0thing It is a racing class, all miatas, with a tightly defined set of specification, "spec" .
The goal is to keep the cars close to stock, as delivered configuration, and provide a level competing field,
The rules.
www.nasaproracing.com/rules/spec_miata_rules.pdf
A set specification
I will never know the joy that comes from passing both a GT3 and an M3 on their home turf in a Miata. What incredible skill. Hats off to some amazing driving
With obstacles...911 GT3 RS :D
pffft. hold my beer.
They lacked the number one performance enhancing upgrade.
i was literally just chuckling to my self about what "obstacles" refers to lolol
Zee Germans were not happy
god i wish this video had a rear facing view to see that porsche get left in the corners.
I will have this in mind for next year when I go out again, thank you for the tip!
turningperformance i get about 9:25 through 9:35, your video is great, it should help me out
it too was thinking the same, that porche was either being road greedy or he was not looking behind him, though nice corners by the mx 5, stunning footage, was hypnotised by the driving, very nice driving skills
While he’d get left on corners on the flipside I bet they get very frustrated when this mx5 overtakes in the bends to then be held up by a very slow car on the straights. Put a similar driver in even a base Carrera and this mx5 would be left for dust. I’m a mx5 fan but they are slow as std, they need to be supercharged or turbocharged or fully built with ITB’s/cams or they are frankly too slow.
There was a great deal of second hand satisfaction at seeing the Porsche driver finally letting you pass and accepting that the slower car was actually lapping faster. 😏
3:07 what an insane entry out of the straight. Knife's edge right there. Dude has balls.
+Casey Lockwood Indeed! I was driving on the Nordschleife in Forza 6 this morning and got scared whenever I had to slow down for these first corners of the track after the long straight. Brake a little too hard and you'll lose a few seconds, but go a little too fast and you'll crash and burn.
+Casey Lockwood He had that Miata skipping across the track at 160kph on a couple occasions, perfect track knowledge, making that Porsche panic it looked like, pretty impressive!
+Kingsoupturbo just imagine if he wasn't held up by the porche the whole time. gotta be at least 5 seconds imo
he also managed to close off a 3 second gap to a 1 second gap from braking alone
Fast.Very fast.
Power is nothing without control
Its a good bet that there will be a distant future, where people will know personal transportation only to be efficient, and safe. Im sure, that in time, even the concept of piloting your own vehicle, instead of letting cloud MIs navigate it will seem ridiculous. But there will be some people, who gonna ask: what was DRIVING like? And then, this recording shall be shown to them.
This was really deep and I senced a lot of philosophy in you post, poet?
Anyway, a very nice comment to read and I appreciate it.
József Pusztai someone has read a nice morning drive by Richard foster... At least give credit
This comment was written like 7 years ago and is one of the ones I remember the most. Just had to come back and read it again :-). Happy 2022!
Robert Serwanski is a test driver for Konigsegg :)
+RazorFX You're right! HAA HAA that makes a lot more sense now, that guy drove like a professional
He's got massive kahonis
Jeff Ahn is that norsk for cojones?
My God., Mazda should be paying you.
It's Amazing how this Japanese car took the best of Europeans best, and people say Miata is a Girl's car. I have Always loved these cars. I can care less if people say its a Girl's car. It is not a Girl's car. The Miata is a Drivers Car. Give me a Miata and I will sure Rock it. The human body is incapable of feeling speed. Just acceleration or change of direction. The definition of G-Force. Acceleration and ability to change direction is everything in a sports car. And this itself is what makes Mazda's fun to drive. The Mazda Miata MX-5 isn't a drag race car and taking a Miata in a Drag strip does define acceleration of these cars coming out of corners. Top end speed is just a pissing contest. But take the Miata to a Gran Turismo track where it belongs and the muscle car will see a telephone pole before it ever sees the Miata. Mazda is All about Handling in their cars. Power to Weight Ratio has always been in Mazda's minds. And this is why I will "Always" drive a Mazda. Go Zoom Zoom!!!
@Beer400C I have a modified FD3S RX7 (sadly being sold soon), and I had the MX5. And the MX5 was my favourite. I drove it way more than the RX7, and don't get me wrong the RX7 is a hoot, but it is also terrifying. You could drive the MX5 at 100% - do that in the RX7 and you scare the shit out of yourself.
Miata, 323 F v 2.0 v6 and 1.5i 16v (no 1.8i ), crx, supra... very very funny cars
Only Americans call it a miata. It’s a Mazda MX5.
A muscle car... or a Tesla. An unuseful piece of shit capable just to do drag racing...
found the mx-5 owner
'93 NA as my daily, absolutely love it.
miata was born for real driver and a real driver done great job in this video. i enjoyed this lap wid u robert, thank you for green hell tour.
Thank You, my pleasure!
New video is up, enjoy :-).
This is easily my favorite Nurburgring video of all time!
Thank you very much, there is a new one up which you might enjoy :-).
I keep coming back to this video over and over. It's one of my favourite mx5 videos anywhere
I am glad to hear that, there is a new video up, I hope you enjoy it.
How did I not see this comment? i'm going to go check it out right now
This and the recent one with the F1 dude in the BMW... I love the smooth lines and vision of that guy. But this one I watch because I own one :)
Approx 1175kg incl ½tank and driver.
You forgot to mention the 400kg of balls?
Must be quick release sac
Yes, it is a very underestimated car the MX-5.
Wonderful to drive and good value.
Slow in a straight line though. You need to prep this car correctly by also increasing power, the chassis and balance is great. It’s crying out for more power. I’d like to see peoples views of how annoying it is to be overtaken on bends but then be held up by your car on any straights because it’s far too slow with a std engine. Modify the engine properly.
@@Speedwelltuning Do you actually know *anything* about driving at the ring? Straights are for fast cars corners are for fast drivers. No point overtaking a slower car on a straight if they're just going to sit on your bumper until you let them pass. If a car with 1/3 of the power is leaving you behind in corners you are shit and should stay behind them.
You sound like a loser lol
That Porsche driver thought he was so good when he passed him on that straightaway. I can just feel his ego radiating through my phone screen.
I audibly laughed lmao
Wow! Congrats on breaking the 8 minute mark. It's great fun to watch someone drive a lightly modified MX5 to it's limits.
Fellow miata lover here, and man, that is some really nice driving.
Thank you! Yes, I try to keep the green bar as green as possible at all time :-).
Guy in that GT3 was getting on my nerves, the way he's hogging the track, not allowing an overtake. Hes all badass and full throttle until a corner, then he's on the brakes HARD. Doesn't seem to know what a line is either.
+Nick Caldwell (Me) At 4:01 he's saying "Is it that difficult to move?" with frustration in his voice...Or at least something similar. I'm Danish but my Swedish isn't exactly perfect.
+willdau Close enough, he says "Vær så snill å flytta deg" which is basically "please move" or "be so kind and move".
There is no perfect 1 line to take.... Believe it or not the gt3 driver was technically driving like how you're supposed to with a car with high horsepower and that's slow in, wide, and late apex fast out.... It's just that... He wasn't doing it well enough.... Then there's the fact this Miata has 1.3-1.4 g's cornering which is absolutely crazy XD
videos like this make me want a track car. On track it's not about having 600whp its about skill.
+Alex Heeley or both ;)
That's some world class driving. It would be my dream vacation to spend a week at the ring with my own car.
This has to be one of the best laps I've ever seen
Impressive driving and complete confidence in knowing the track and a car. I am sure GT3 driver's ego was hurt that day. Amazing!
Fantastic. Great to watch your skills getting the best out of the little MX5. It's a great little car, but your driving is truly impressive, as is your knowledge of the Ring. Great stuff mate.
+Automotive Exposure
Thank you, appreciate your comment :-).
I can't imagine this guy taking the One:1 or the Agera RS in the Nurburgring. Absolutely insane.
now ,if you had left 10 minutes sooner you would,nt of had to rush would you..
The video that convinced me to buy a Miata as a track car. Amazing driving
Thank you!
Yes, the 8min barrier was the first goal but now 7:50 or 7:45 seems plausable with some upgrades and more practice.
Back again, this video is so raw. I know it's old but it's how little sports cars are supposed to be driven. Not on the streets pootling along at 30.
Musical, phenomenal. Simply breathtaking. That's a proper 4 banger sound.
Amazing driver also.
oh my god broke the 8 second mark with a what 180 at the crank if that and road legal tires? That's impressive, that's ridiculously impressive wow....
+TheHm3 Yeah, but tires that are road legal today are putting down better times than the slicks of 10 years ago. Still insanely impressive though.
Outstanding. The next time I go to the store in my MX-5 NC I'm going to be fantasizing about Nurbergring and hoping I don't get a ticket. I love that car.
... driving on the ring and suddenly a wild Miata appears ... 😁👌🏻🔝🔥
Incredible driving skills! Keeping up, and then passing the "Race Ready" Porsche 911 GT3 in the corners. Awesome video.
Shows ya how even the humble MX5 can look quick in the right hands
what the porsche driver didn't knew was that the driver of the MX5 is a test driver for Koenigsegg
So frustrating have to stand on your brakes for the Porsche on the corners. Good driving, love that track! You get a really good workout on how long you can keep sharp and focused. Love the 50-50 distribution on the Miata, it really shows in a little drift and so predictable. It was the same for the very last RX-7 model as well. That one was fun to drive on that track.
Epic lap, also love the way you coast down at the end, tidy.
Thank you, all the bits need to cool down you know :-)
+turningperformance
You Sir are my hero! What combination of ARB are you using for front and rear (Red/yellow/Orange)?
+rzezniqq I would like to know as well. For a stock NC, the consensus on miata.net is that a red dot front and yellow dot rear is the way to go. This is coming from people who have tried combinations of all three.
+rzezniqq
Thank you :-)
The stiffest RX-8 OEM whichever colour that is :-).
Absolutely hilarious how much faster the NC is around corners comparing with the "obstacle" 😄🤣 but the reality is you are a beast of a driver 😱😱😱
the way this car looks around corners is pretty accurate from the mx 5 gran turismo tuned car from gran turismo also, the grip and acceleration looks sweet
Robert Serwanski, you're THE guy ! Nice job, really impressive.
Love how miata kills everything at the track
I always come back to this video for inspiration. You make us miata people proud!
Thank you for your heartwarming words Tommy! Happy 2022!
//Serwanski
@@RobertSerwanski if you are ever in North East Pennsylvania or at Pocono Raceway I'd love to meet you. I'm not too great at driving but I know all the sights and good places to eat/stay in my area. Happy New Year and God bless!
love the sound, the resonance of the engine
Nice work obviously but mainly came to say thanks for the mods list. And those changes look so doable on a normal wage! You really are the number one performance upgrade in that car.
I've got 17s on my NC and it lacks suppleness. People think I am silly to want more sidewall and reduced weight but I reckon it will drive better... suspect you're onto this. I've 6 and 4.5 kg springs with 9s and 6s for the track. Gonna keep the airbag steering wheel though :)
Yes, the mods are incredibly mild for the speed he's getting out of it. He hasn't even raised the redline. Pretty much exactly the things I'm doing to mine.. only just got started and it's already a hoot on track.
This is really badass level of driving! Professional driver with our little practical roadster FTW. It's scary to think he's not wearing fire protection and there is no roll bar.
A little after 3:55 the testdriver says in frustration ”Snälla flytta dig” in swedish. ”Please move over!” To that Porsche in front of him. The driver is clearly from Skåne, the south of Sweden. I can tell from his accent.
Det är ju för att det är koeningseggs testförare som kör.
This video was one of the few reasons why I decided to stick with an N/A build on my NC3. I've had no regrets over choosing the response vs overall power.
you should have a rear view camera, that was a great ride
+mertvak
I will go down later this year to do some more laps and I will fit a rear view camera by then hopefully.
+turningperformance Looking forward to seeing you do this again :)
with one:1 ?
They should not feel too bad about being passed by a former racing driver and currently Koenigsegg's test driver.
+Kenjh71 I was thinking the whole time: Damn I know his name from somewhere....
They should understand that skill is better than power/supercar
Damn! That's some fine skills, couple of times thinking "way too fast entry speed" then "Nope he's so got this!"
Wow!
WOW!!! Superb driving!! I better take it easy in my nc tomorrow after watching this dude 😊👍
Ahaha. Laying so much pressure on that Porsche. Long live the Roadster!
Anyone can drive fast on a straight line. But real skill goes to the driver that can go around corners the fastest.
Well, after (finally) driving the ring I had to comment again. Amazing driving and track knowledge. And excellent attitude on track and towards slower cars. Looking forward to your sub-7:45 lap! Cheers!
+Nuno Pinto
Just a few months away now :-)
You pushed the envelope for Miatas that day my man! Seriously I was impressed hearing that little motor screaming, no lift! Then finally you had it tapped out on not even the main straight away O;
WoW Gran Turismo 6 looks better than expected.
Wow - what a superb video and awesome driving! To comprehensively see off a 911 GT3 RS in an NC Mazda MX-5 with some mods that the 911 has also in spades as standard. Fascinating.. I've lapped the Nurburgring in my own Z4M coupe, 911 C2S and Cayman S and have now bought myself a 'cheap' NC2 MX-5 2.0. I've been wondering if it would be good around the ring compared to the higher power stuff and there is the answer in this video! Great stuff! As others have commented, you gain so much in having a light car with moderate power that you can use all of the time pretty much...Will ba taking my MX-5 NC 2.0 to the Ring for sure., although I won't be expecting to be as fast as Mr Serwanski! ;-)
Awesome ! No wonder cc has so much confidence of a good lap time !
Thanx for video !
Just amazing drive and exhaust sound
That was fun. I pretty much predicted when he's pass the Porsche in the upper part of the track (the twisties). LOL! That guy had top speed and acceleration but this guy knows how to do the curves.
Wow! Nice driving. The back half of the track was just glorious!!
Thank you, what a ride! Is the NC a hard top?
Thats some of the most amazing driving i've seen in a long time. Congratulations on the sub 8 minute time. Makes me wanna go back to the ring in my own NC. :)
Thank you.
It was nice to get below 8 minutes even though there where a few obstacles on this very lap. The car is however capable of much more and the Porsche itself stole a few seconds. Next time I will visit the track I will aim for sub 7:45 if I manage to get a more free lap than this one. The car will at that point also have a few more mods, still same power output though :-).
turningperformance
that's incredible. i was just recently watching a video of the cts-v wagon, and it made a lap time of 8:12.1
turningperformance Looking at your technique and the way you attack corners I can't help but get the feeling that your daytime job must involve driving at a serious level. Either an amateur/pro racing driver or test driver for a manufacturers performance division or something similar. Either way, that's an amazing skill level.
Several Porsche owner egos were harmed in the making of this film.
Great driving, that Porsche must have really got on your nerves lol
Michael Persaud Thank you. Yes it did, especially in the corners but chasing and/or overtaking cars is great fun in the end even though it affects the laptime.
Fantastic driving, you really know your way around The Ring. Thanks for an enjoyable ride.
very nice car and good round, which tires did you use?
Thank you. Kumho V70A 225/45 16 K61.
+turningperformance whats been done to it as far as performance ??????
+Daniel Jomare Read the description.
Poe Tay Toe already have thanks
Very good driver, fantastic car!
thank you for sharing that video, it is amazing.
That is some seriously ballsy driving. Well done!
O.O *That second lap....* O.O the suspension setup and his choice of racing lines gives him the edge over the GT3... He's an excellent driver, wish the car had a little more power.
The car has amazing turn in and the intake sound sick!
Impressive. Nicely done.
Simply amazing car control. Dude in the Porsche looked like a total shleißeschlongmeister.
Please do that again with an ND! And maybe an ND Cup. Lets see what the weight difference can do.
the perfect line..... Am shock! HAT'S OFF!
Is it me or does this car turn better right than left?
Crazy driving skills!
The only thing this 'hairdresser' is chopping is the porsche. Well sorted mx5 and fantastic driving, great vid.
...with obstacles called Porsche!! great driver!!
At the end of video, look, how much time it took to porsche finally catch up to this miata XD
Miata driver has balls of steel
Pretty awesome, thanks B2G for the link.
notwithstanding the driver's excellent skills, how is this NC different from my bog standard 6 speed? FYI, was hypnotized by this tape and cheered loudly each time you passed others.
Alain-Pierre Hovasse Thank you, happy to hear that.In the video description you´ll find a general description of what has been done to the car.
Hey,
Yes I remember you, it was nice having a chat.
Good conclusion regarding the way to go, practice to become a better driver and work with the cars suspension and weight.
Cheers!
Wow, like they say: THE DUDE CAN DRIVE!!!!
The constant struggle between more horsepower but not so skilled driver and less horsepower but much more skilled driver right here.
Awesome! Do you have factory ECU remapped or another ECU installed? Thanks!
Thank you.
Factory ECU remapped.
The Porsche is superior in every way compared to a lightly modified Miata. This video is showing what matters tho, driving skills trumps faster cars anyday, anywhere.
+Chris S Not really. Power is always better which is why it's always the limiting factor in any professional race series. Put the dude in the Miata next to the dude in the GT3 Porsche for 10 laps on Fuji Speedway and I guarantee you that the Porsche comes in first despite the Miata driver being the better driver.
koopatroopa187 The miata guy lapped the ring faster than the other dude? You seem to forget numbers matter. If he did 7.58 and the amateur gt3 driver did a 8.10 ish, he'd be faster still in 10 laps ey? ;O
He might get better each lap, he might not. Driver skills mostly do trump faster cars.
Lot of people are scared of braking late and getting the right line which means, they are slower every turn.
+Chris S There's a reason why I chose Fuji Speedway for my example. You're more than welcome to think it over.
@@koopatroopa187 Put cars on drag strips where the only thing that matters is power and then driving skill doesn't matter. The reason power is so important in professional racing is that all of the drivers are extremely great. You are trying to find a situation when raw power can beat a better driver. Sure it is possible, but just the fact that it is reach is evidence is that you better know what you are doing before you get in a race.
Rich guy in Ferrari versus pro racer in Miata.
@@koopatroopa187 People who think power is everything are the people who are crashing and dying.
The essence of the Ring!! Bravo
Holy crap, spectacular driving! Couldn't take my eyes off the screen! Btw, is that driver just wearing shorts???
Thank you.
Yepp, it was really hot that day :-).
this dude has balls of steel...
Awesome awesome...GT3 RS destroyed by an MX5. How much power would the remap and exhaust give it....200ish?
wow...thats very impressive drive i have a few questions if you dont mind..which brand brake discs and pads are you running? which brand CAI are you running and which brand suspension are you running? also,was the ECU Remap meant to make the engine rev higher as i notice you still shifting at 7000rmp my stock NC 2.0 goes all the way to 7500rpm any reason you tend to shift earlier? and why was 6th gear not used?
Its an older mx5. It's a 5 speed with a rev limiter at 7000 rpm, At least that's what i think :)
+raspopo079 it's not the specs, it's the driver. Follow the line, hit full throttle at all times unless braking. stop being a geek - just enjoy the cockpit view.
That's what I call fun. Just wish I was there with my NC 2.0!
If I were the guy in the Porsche, I would've been trailing you to better learn the track.
Dude needed all the pointers he could get... Some of his corner entries were terrible. 😳 Clearly trying to drive beyond his skill level and over cooking it.
Especially at 5:50 he braked too late and turned in far too late
You've heard no end of compliments, I know, but I still have to add that that was a very impressive drive, to say the least. The most striking point I think, as a viewer, was the moment when you came up on the E46. The microsecond that it was even hinted that he was going to move to the right, you just charged right on through. Decisive pass, to say the least. I know that it does say that the tires are "Road legal track tires", but I still have to inquire - what brand and type/compound of tire were they? I'm just curious. I took a quick look through the comments, but did not see an answer (sorry if I blatantly missed it).
+Tetrastryker
Thank you for you comment. Well, on the Ring you are normally only allowed to pass on the left like on a German highway hence the obvious lane choice :-).
In this clip I used Kumho V70A 225/45 16 K61 Road legal and E-Marked.
He passed the Porsche twice...IN A MIATA! Fast driver slow car > Slow driver fast car. Robert Serwanski is a track god
