Well id be damned after Bathurst that I would sit through more crappy adds watching Indy, so while reading Motor last night I notice a small "challenge" on page 20.
So the terms are: Current MX-5 (I think they mean the '04 RS version as there is no '05) Stock Standard Arcade Mode (time trail I guess) Road Tyres (I didn't read that at first) Tsukuba Raceway So before sending in my time, I might aswell see what other people are doing so I am not wasting my time. My best so far is 1'11.471 its amazing how much difference tyres make as I was doing 1'09.xx on softs before I realised you needed to use Road tyres. I think I can do a bit better, but it would only be by a tenth or so. And it gets boring driving around in a stocker  _ Heres a pic. http://www.fordforums.com.au/photos/...php?photo=7217 So anyone else up for a quick challenge?  :

Best I got before I decided I'd had enough of driving on road tyres was 1'12.141, I know I could have got a faster time, but I couldn't resist having a bit of fun with throwing the tail out and oversteering around the corners...
1'11.471 - you must have had more restraint then I did mate :hihi:

Speed magazine had one as well, but that magazine seems to have stopped now which is a shame.

I'd be interested to see what the best times anyone can get if they try the BMW M5 rather then the MX-5, I had a go, and damn it was fun, not easy, but fun once you get the hang of it.
