This video captures a thrilling lap in a turbocharged Mazda Miata NB at Pittsburgh International Race Complex on May 27, 2019. This was the driver's first time at PittRace, and they received valuable coaching from Gary Wimble, a recent winner of the fastest street car in the nation at UTCC. The coaching helped the driver achieve their fastest times of the day, including a 2:02.7, despite encountering traffic on the track.
The car's setup includes a weight of 2250 lbs (without driver or passenger ballast), approximately 250 wheel horsepower, 15x10 wheels with 245 Rival S tires (RC-1s are also used but are slower), and AFCO shocks with 1000/500 springs. The vehicle also features aesthetic aero components that are believed to reduce lift.
