Having a year of SM experience under my belt so far, I’ve learned a lot of race craft. And that a lot of people who race them are clinically insane lol. Glad you’re getting into it! It’s some of the best racing you will participate in and watch!
It is amazing to see you improve as a driver. I remember watching you playing F1 2018 and racing against low difficulty AI. Now you have improved a lot. Even in Forza games.
Here is a tip for shifting into third gear. When you are in second gear and about to change to third, using the lower part of your hand only, push the shifter back to neutral and keep pushing forwards. If the car's transmission is stiff enough, which it should be, you should end up in third gear. It won't be the fastest shift ever, but it should work if you do it right.
Since I'm commenting 2 months after this vid is out, you might have figured this out already. On the NB (MK2) Miata (MX-5), if either your differential bushings or engine mounts are going bad, you're gonna have a bad time when shifting from 2nd to 3rd, when under power especially. It's just the way these cars are designed. Also some people get caught between 3rd and 5th and shift into the "limbo" between the 2 gates. Competition mounts (or even just new OEM mounts) will help, and a different shifter (long, angled one) might help too.
I love pop-up headlights, but honestly I think the NB is becoming my favorite model of Miata/MX-5. Such cool little cars. Congrats Nick! Crazy what a race with no skill issues can do. Sorry, I had to. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
a channel by the name of ThatDudeInBlue did the same thing with radical race cars and was on the ass of a fastest class car in the second race of his. you just managed to pass a fastest class car in a slower class car. yikes. Ar12 vs ThatDudeInBlue?
How does anyone go from 2nd to 5th?!?! It's not possible, a gearbox doesn't allow that, it has one way "guides" so that you would go on an intended route, rather than miss shifting
standard 5 speed gearbox its easy to do. There are no 'guides'. its a standard H pattern gearbox. Having said that his issue is he isnt letting it naturlally slip into 3rd and it trying to direct it in. On a 5 speed gearbox the centre position for the gearstick is right between 3rd and 4th
I've never driven a car that has guides in the shift mechanism preventing you from shifting more than 1 gear at a time. And a MX5 definitely doesn't have them
@@robinv2758 all cars have them. People just either don't realize it or don't know it's even a thing. Also wasn't saying it helps when shifting up more than one gear. If you push it straight up, there is nowhere else for it to go, but into the right spot
@@MtlkatGaming that's what I'm saying. It goes into next gear naturally when you upshift. Maybe it's his technique, he must be double clutching or smth and then messing up in his head. 5th gear position shouldn't be a factor, it's further than 3rd and the center position is in the same spot for every car
The least favorite vids on the channel.

Spoon?
U mean the best ones?
Then don't watch them? He's not gonna stop irl racing because some spoon with a basehead pfp said it was his least favorite video 😂
Without a doubt the craziest race I've ever done! Grab a piece of the broken GR86 here: store.ar12gaming.com/collections/wearable

No pin for yourself?
Do you get extra points for beating people upper in class?
As it turns out Spec Miata racing is just the average Forza Horizon lobby
Nick when you getting a buzzcut?

Apparently real life miata racing is crazy actually 😂👍
Jacob is at school... we are doing it 😎👍
@@delirotea6735 someone had to do it 😂👍
Seeing Nick do well in real racing now makes me so happy. Keep it up!
Definitely loving the videos! Currently I’m 14, almost 15, and I’m thinking of getting into spec Miatas as I’ve been doing very well in 2 strokes.
Nice job 👍
I am a long term viewer and car lover, and I absolutely love the videos. You make awesome content and are super funny. ❤
That was fun, well done! Re: your shift issues; adrenaline messes up our fine motor-skill. Practice practice, practice.
the people saying these videos suck don't have good taste. Congrats on the P1

great race with the Miata, Nick! congrats!👍
That drift at the start was sick

I decided to see if this track was on Assetto Corsa, wasn't disappointed. Racing on Oct. 20th for sure
Lovely Race
We're all cheering for you Nick!
sick race, congrats on the W
Nick racing in f1 next season incoming
Congrats Nikc!!!!
Skill issue go BRRRRR
Btw 33 seconds go BRR considering I love on the opposite timezone
you are the best youtuber i have ever seen
yo why not fold your mirrors in? that 5 car was doing the same thing, or does it not make much of a difference in aerodynamics?
The #5 broke his mirror in the crash lol, its not supposed to be folded in
@@AR12Gaming oh okay makes a lil more sense, thanks!
Less GOOO my favourite racing game creator uploaded🔥🔥🔥
Love these vids
I love rhese videos😊

Nice job Nick, rooting for u❤
Nick and keep up the good work real true and I good the video😂
What a great rac3 and video
Simply lovely
no skill issue= no ar12 vid
Imagine if the Miatas were this slidey in Forza Motorsport
since your golf aint street legal are you going to bring it w you on the 20th n drive that on the track??
“My little lap timer isn’t working” classic skill issue nick 😂
do you call 2nd to 5th a broke shift as it's the opposite of a money shift
replace passanger side engine mount and both diff mounts with mazda comp 40% stiffer(its legal)
The most favorite vids on the channel. also I would be so mad if I was 55
need more miata vidddsss plssssss
Looks like you need some sequential gearboxes bruh
damn perfect timing 35 sec
Amazing!
third. hype mita race!!!!
Nickypoo!!! 🚗🚘🚙🛻🚕🚓🚔🚐🚌🚎🏎🏍
Nick has less skill issues in irl
Put a damn short throw in that mx5 and it won’t happen again
i am a big fan of you
It’s only appropriate to give the GR86 a second skill issue sticker
i love this
Anyone else hoping Calabogie comes to AC Evo?

Sorry Jenifer edmonds, it’s too far away 😫😣

Nick won? something's not right
why was risking fighting a person not in his class?
Cause driving fast is fun
Because it's fun? He was P1 in his class by miles (kilometers, because Canadian?) anyway, so might as well. Lol.
