*I'm SOOOOOOO grateful to Ford and IMSA for bringing this back. THANK YOU!* 😎

I generally believe the interest in spec series is indicative of the health of the sportscar racing industry. Having a full field for this in addition to MX5 cup and Porsche cup shows how much money is out there and wants to go racing in America! Love to see it

@alias19 Ай бұрын

Not only should we appreciate the customer money that wants to go racing, let’s also appreciate the efforts of the manufacturers to grasp the opportunity and provide racing programs to support that desire. Mazda, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes, Audi, Aston Martin, MINI, BMW, VW, Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Lotus, Toyota, Cadillac, Hyundai, Subaru, Alpine, Jaguar, Bentley, Cupra and all of the rally marques, the Aussie brands, and all of the others I’ve missed provide incredible variety and competition. Anyone want to start the sponsor commitment appreciation thread?

Mazda MX-5's sound like any bees and flight like as well. Personally I think there's a lot of engines that sound worse then a Mazda MX-5 or a dozen of them.

IMO its nothing like MX5, theres no bump drafting and weighs 1000 pound more...

@smithp573 Ай бұрын

@@ikaros4203maybe the metaphor was a touch too subjective but they do sound nice. I prefer the 5s (owner here) and I can live with the angry hornets exhaust note but (speaking as a UK resident where diesel prevails) you can’t beat the noise of a V8 (unless you throw in V10s and 12s).

I am so happy to find out about this series just now. I have been a diehard IMSA fan since before it was IMSA but can’t say I’ve ever considered myself a Mustang fan. I really think Ford made an absolute gem with this car though. This is the pony car swan song. And we get to see 20 of them battling it out on the circuit.

Wicked cool👌 I always wondered why the only country (except Trans/Am series in the US) with a modified street pony/muscle car championship was Sweden and it's famed Camaro Cup....it's about time Mustang takes to the track with all the track versions of the car being sold. There's several Mazda Cup drivers here but a lot less drafting though, great addition to the existing series👍

Hopefully there's some reliability improvements as time goes on. I wonder if changing the offset of the rear wheel would reduce the rear wheel contact. Edit:either way it's good that these things are known so the can be fixed on and off track.

@clffliese26 Ай бұрын

Silly question, but why are you putting the brand on the screen along side the driver's name, considering this is a Dark Horse Mustang only formula? On a more serious note, is it just me or is the roar of 27 Ford V8s an incredibly beautiful sound?

All those former Miata Cup drivers, in a spec series again, but the racing just isn't as compelling. I guess that, in the low-HP Mazdas, any disparity in speed among the top guys is erased on the straights. Here, it shows. The cars are too slippery to use aero for a big advantage.
