wait and minute wait a minute...you guys are all talking about the miata driver being better bla bla bla...the damn guy in the vette waved the miata guy around.
that's not racing and they were not trying to out pace each other...go back to driving your video games newbies.
and no, I'm not a arm chair racer myself. click on my videos if you want proof.
It's not an equalizer. If the Vetter wrecks, it's $80,000+ to replace; Miata <$4000. Basic math, nothing to do whit rain being an equalizer. If it were a legit race with no budget in mind, the vette would still lap the miata.
It has nothing to do with the price of the vehicle !! Oh those with little experience. It takes more finesse to drive fast in the rain. The rain will amplify your errors. You need precise steering input and brake control. The Corvette driver would not be out there if he was afraid of going off.. He simply could not outpace the Miata driver. IT was the skill of the better driver.
If you can afford an 80 thousand dollar car, you can probably afford to replace it. And if you can't, you don't race it. The latter applies at any price level.
No budget, eh? Then I'll just get aluminum/ceramic everything in the Miata's engine and put on some 15 pounds of boost. Probably around double the power-per-weight and on a much better driving chassis.
Mosport is a great track - but quite honestly is it really worth it in heavy rain? With so little grip you cant push at all. It might be OK for a new driver to experience understeer and oversteer at slower speeds but thats about it.
Its worth it to me, for a couple of reasons: 1) I enjoy probing the limits whether they're high or low, 2) Having a low-powered car, the rain is an equalizer so I get passed less, 3) I'm cheap - I paid for track time so I'm going to get track time.
Why did you lable this miata vs corvette? The corvette let you pass and was barely moving...you passed him on a straight! Do you really think you would just passed a car with between 350 and 400hp (c5 or c6?) with a miata?
how stupid do you have to be dude? Look at the vett, he had no chance of keeping up. The miata cought up to him very fast. A smart driver would let the faster car go in front without a fight so no one gets hurt. Its not all about horsepower pig!!!
Dude... Use RainX. Its the best. The water will never stick to the windsheild.

I don't practice in the rain.
It just gives me a mellow vibe.
Drifting in the rain is for rookies.

I think the "equalizer" was in regards to chances on the track, not the money.

Yeah, having fun on the race track is strictly verboten.
You had better be there to WIN (Nothing, as it's a track day) instead of improving your skills or having a good time!
In fact, if you're not a LeMans caliber driver, you should just go home now. The race track is for SERIOUS COMPETETORS only!

Depends on what's in the Miata.
And yes, on track days you aren't racing, you're sharing a track. So no need to go side to side on a straight in the rain.
