Good race car drivers do their homework, and Matt was the first of the MRT contenders that reached out to me for help in understanding the differences between the Global MX-5 Cup Car and the typical Spec Miata.
Congrats Matt, well deserved, and I am sure that you will represent the Spec Miata class admirably in the Global MX-5 Cup series next year!

Thanks gents! As promised here is my fastest lap of the shootout, with data overlay. This is one of my favorite things about the cars, the data system is already integrated so lots of useful information can be pulled straight away, a true turn key race car. Enjoy!
