The Mazda MX-5 Miata (also known as the Mazda Roadster, Eunos Roadster, and Mr. Steve) is right in the middle of its 25th anniversary. The 3rd generation ‘NC’ model has arrived, the 4th generation car has been partially unveiled, and amid all this commotion, Mazda sends out his 2014 production model to run in his ADAC Zurich I have decided that. Next month is a 24 hour race. Held at the famous, hallowed and revered Nürburgring, which was reviled by Sir Jackie Stewart, the event is a grueling test of “carousel laps” over hills and across valleys. It is.
The lucky MX-5 will be prepared by Le Mans veterans JOTA Sport, who run Zytek-Nissan LMP2 prototypes in the European Le Mans Series, and will be campaigned in the V3 class. Modifications to V3 cars are basically limited to safety equipment, and consist of mass-produced cars equipped with 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engines. Similar to Lemons, but with more new cars, fewer Cessnas, and no Judge Phil.
If you’re in Germany, check out the Nürburgring event on June 21st. Otherwise, look forward to joining Button in his Tarrible Lemon races in sleepy and dusty Button Willow, California. There’s also a good chance you’ll see a racing Miata there, but only one that’s likely not that special.
Davey G. Johnson has been writing about the machines that power us since 2001. His first car was an El Camino, his first motorcycle was a Guzzi, and his first sports car was a Porsche, conveying his apparently fungible belief that Americans should be transported and driven. . He is German and rides Italian.
