This video features Mark Gottscho driving a Mazda NA Spec Miata 1.6L on Toyo tires, completing a 3:36 lap at Thunderhill's 5 Mile West Bypass Configuration. The lap was recorded during a Hooked on Driving Group C/D Advanced HPDE event on September 17-18, 2016, which allowed unlimited point-by passing.

The bonus material includes several off-track excursions and a mechanical issue. One incident involved coming into a corner too hot, requiring more brake, though the driver notes it might have been salvageable. Another excursion highlighted the reduced grip on the outside of Turn 3, leading to a spin that was saved with some wiper action. A third off-track moment occurred while experimenting with curb usage. The session ended prematurely due to a loose ignition wire, causing the engine to lose power and eventually die, necessitating a tow back to the pits.
