Don’t take anything away from the driver of the R32, he is one of the best and talented drivers I’ve race against! That is why I had the confidence to run the outside line beside him. My car is no normal Mx5, I built it with the intention of taking on some serious cars. It is a Gokart on steroids and so much more lighter and nimble than the R32. It is powered by the original Mazda Bp engine, turbocharged on e85 fuel. Thanks to everyone for the positive comments👍 it means a lot! Cheers

One thing I noticed is how many cool races Australia is giving the rest of the world. I still remember that Cox guy with his Honda Civic passing BMWs, Mercedes and what nots while fightint for first place against an AE86, and now this. These are the races I want to watch on TV.

Whoever’s behind the wheel of that Miata is an absolute weapon. Great driving by both guys 🤘

That r32 had little chance, the power to weight ratio of that mx5 must be insane.

That little m5 has some grip. Great driving from both of them.

The Skyline didn't stand a chance with all those turns lol. The Miata's just too nimble.

Mmm yeah. Gonna need the deets on that little fucking beast. Gonna want the MX5's build out too. Got anymore footage? This was fantastic. Another!

I've had both cars. Mx5 with a hard top was always a made track monster, but the r32 gtr for an all rounder is a monster. Mine was a 1.8 turbo too, but that was 18 years ago. 180rwkw in one of those things is insane. Miss it so much. The driver of the mx5 showed how much potential is really in those cars good on him, very well done. Great to see the advan r32 still chopping laps even after a decade on from Mark Berry's days.

Thank u guys for sharing these local races from Australia. I used to be a big fan watching FIA touring car races especially the stuff at Macau Guia every November. But I gave up ever since WTCC started.

This is the best and most entertaining racing I’ve seen in years!

This video really shows the skill necessary and how close all the great drivers are.

I love it when small, nimble cars do this to more powerful beasts. Although that R32 sound is otherworldly good

Being on the track and pairing off like that is so much fun, well not immediately on the track, but in the pits and watching the video...all smiles!

We need details on both cars because that was insane

You're an insightful legend mate, and your tale reminds me of a bloke 'who saw' - over 15 years ago and featured in Zoom' magazine - Buy Used MX5, rebuild BP motor for strength, strap on the very newest Garrett GT25 turbo at the time, add Ohlins coilovers and AP racing brakes - have everything corner weighted. Destroy everyone on the track.

Great pass! Not only did he hold the position after diving into the inside of that corner, but he gave it just as much effort to keep it together going around the outside of the next corner! That takes balls! I'll bet the other driver's ass puckered up when he saw the Mazda alongside him. I don't know who the driver of the Mazda is, but he's got a little bit of Gilles Villeneuve in him. That entire race looks like it would be fun to watch.

Totally makes sense to me MIata's are known for their handling and in the right hands if you can keep a powerhouse in your sights you always have a chance. Good Running by both drivers.

The Miata on turns it's a monster it's basically on its natural habitat

One of the funnest cars I've ever drove and lots of potential, out of all the high horsepower cars I've had and driven the Miata is by far one of the funnest cars to drive on the curves period.

One of the best moments in racing… love it. Worth every second.. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

That's one serious track weapon, well done, and great driving as well.

Love it when the tiny Miata takes on the big boys.

Miata racing with no ABS like a Chad.

Nice clean racing. Reminded me of minis vs camaros in touring car races. Hats off to both drivers!

Blend line is by far the best racing channel on KZfaq. Their content never ceases to amaze 💯 Amazing driving from both lads, that Miata though. What a car

Miata, my favourite car in Need For Speed Underground2! It truly does carry speed through corners! A real weapon with enough power!

I'm planning on buying a 2022 Mazda Miata sport edition. I took a manual 2022 club edition for a 30 minute test drive last weekend, and it was a hell of a lot of fun.

That came along way...classic race. Gtr gotta make a comeback back with more lightness, boost & better ballast distribution with better setup.

Incredibly nimble and agile. Excellent footage... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great driving by both these drivers, I could watch them go head to head for the whole run and then some more

Awsome to watch, great driving by both....the best dance I've seen in this class 👏

skylines and gtr's are pretty to look at but after spending time working at a Mazda dealership I come to appreciate those miata's a lot more.

Top tier driving from the Miata driver. That outside line take was ballsy.

The cornering speed on that miata. holy shit the R32 didnt stand a chance and that was a very nice overtake through the outside

i wish i could driver like that. Salute to both drivers, that fight was beautiful.

Kinda hate this because of how good the R32 sounds and how good skilled of a driver it has behind its wheel. Awesome little kart that Miata tho.

This made my Sundy morning! Superb driving.

Savage on the edge driving from both.

Awesome racing there, super quick mx5

Great driving, fine line between precision and aggression. Any details on the suspension setup, wheels, etc?

Mazda mx-5 . What alittle weapon. Carry its speed into and through the corners very nice. Oh and sounds 👌

That was awesome clean racing! 👏

It's not the car, it's the driver that makes the car and how well it will take you around the track.

damn, this is a cool ass video. thanks for posting it. the sound is so good.

Awesome battle and overtake! Would love to see this take on the Red Eg Civic of Jordan Cox (NA built) at the Bathurst Improved Production Championship race category.

“It’s physics. You can’t make up for light weight. You can add horsepower or take off weight. Taking off weight is better.” - Jay Leno (talking about his Miata)

as fast as the mx is the driving skill was beautiful

The beauty of power to wight ratios along with some STELLAR wheeling!

Omg, the lines they took were absolutely PURE ART IN MOTION!! (the music wasn't bad either)

That was awesome side by side racing!!! Skill galore!!

Love these kind of races. Great driving by both drivers.

That power to weight distribution goes crazy

The mazda’s racing line is impeccable. So much lighter and faster in the corners too. Hits brakes way later. R driver amazing skill and vehicle. Put em in a straight line and you have an entirely different race.

idk how many times ive seen it but it feels like ive seen it for many more years than its been out. i fuckin love this video

THE MIATA DESTROYS!!!! HOLY SMOKES Neva seen that type od sheer destruction lol. Kudos to 77 he is a beast!

Now that's puttin' in the work My hats off to both of those fellas

Love the miata content. Amazing driving!

Top notch racing. There is some real talent in this class.

To this day, Nissans GTR is still being used as a comparison to prove performance of other JDM vehicles. Makes me proud to be an owner of one. When you drive one others always try to prove something against you.. but there is always respect and awe there.

I hit “like” before I hit play 😂😂😂. Was not disappointed 😬😬😬 🔥

Man that Miata must be dialed in! Pure mechanical grip

Hooweeee, that moment when you overtook him from the inside at 0:25 was like a scene taken straight out out Initial D lol😲

It’s like a cheetah and a gazelle. One is faster and one turns better. Amazing battle

"It's not what You driving, it's how You driving it."

So good! You were a lot quicker than that R32 Remarkable driving from both of you!

That is INSAIN😲😲 All My money would have been on the GTR all the way but to SEE THAT MX5 Kill it Like that, Boy driving that LIKE HE STOLE IT👍👍😊 Awesome Driving👍

Sounds like a syncro box in the mx5 ! Mega impressive speed with a sync box!

Proof that line and skill can take everything

Super satisfying!! Made my day

The way the car was leaning, you can tell it was on the cusp of losing traction. Mans was driving it hard with precision. Restecpah

Looks like it’s got a great set up to give the driver confidence in its capabilities.

When Godzilla gets taken down by a hairdresser in a rush 😂

Hell that battle is so damn good

Going around in circles..fantastic

Sometimes I wish a was not 6'3" so I could enjoy an MX5. I drove one once and it made my balls do this weird painful dance every time I pushed the clutch in.

Nice balance from the NB.

Mate that's a tough little race car and must be a treat to drive. Can I ask what sort of money that cost you to build as I'm looking at something for my son's to race and enjoy.

I wish they had more cameras film from this angle in F1. You can really see the speed of these two here. Also, amazing drive from both!

Keep the content coming!!!!

Got him in the braking zone like a Miata is supposed to!

Great to see. Both drivers having clean fun. What class/regs are you racing in?

THAT is why we like build diversity in motorsports.

Nice, not even close ! That's quiet a weapon you have built there.

Solid performance

Now this is beautiful! Almost like Initial D, David beats the Goliath.

Crazy insane and nice to watch

Another day it could go another way. You brilliantly held on to each inch you gained. I would not talk about "superiority" here. You got it together and won. All my respect. I had an MX-5 1800 cc. We all loved it.

Awesome video

Epic battle! Kudos to both drivers!

Nice track as well, fast and flowy. Nice.

I was smiling like an idiot throughout the whole vid. That is one mad MX-5 and one mad driver!

Are you going to the Australian GP this wkend..who’s your picks for podiums? I got a feeling Max and Checo might just get a 1-2 >:)

thats a sick battle

Respect is earned if it was a video

Eastern Creek is awesome, love this track!

Wow absolutely beautiful racing; that is all parties included. Bro needs to hit his headlights tho. Lol

it’s not the car , it’s the driver which counts.

mx5 too floppy for ultimate grip because no roof they say. not even a cage will fix it they say. mx5 driver says "yes, you keep thinking that"

And in todays physics lesson : Why weight and handling > power

This is deffo no hairdresser s car, love it!
