The ego of that GT3 RS driver isn't going home intact. Stunning driving.

This is why I tell people, "If you go to an open track day, and you want to know the fast line, try to follow the Spec Miata guys around."

I will never know the joy that comes from passing both a GT3 and an M3 on their home turf in a Miata. What incredible skill. Hats off to some amazing driving

With obstacles...911 GT3 RS :D

god i wish this video had a rear facing view to see that porsche get left in the corners.

Robert Serwanski is a test driver for Konigsegg :)

There was a great deal of second hand satisfaction at seeing the Porsche driver finally letting you pass and accepting that the slower car was actually lapping faster. 😏

3:07 what an insane entry out of the straight. Knife's edge right there. Dude has balls.

Its a good bet that there will be a distant future, where people will know personal transportation only to be efficient, and safe. Im sure, that in time, even the concept of piloting your own vehicle, instead of letting cloud MIs navigate it will seem ridiculous. But there will be some people, who gonna ask: what was DRIVING like? And then, this recording shall be shown to them.

Fast.Very fast. Power is nothing without control

Approx 1175kg incl ½tank and driver. You forgot to mention the 400kg of balls?

I keep coming back to this video over and over. It's one of my favourite mx5 videos anywhere

That Porsche driver thought he was so good when he passed him on that straightaway. I can just feel his ego radiating through my phone screen.

My God., Mazda should be paying you.

Yes, it is a very underestimated car the MX-5. Wonderful to drive and good value.

This is easily my favorite Nurburgring video of all time!

miata was born for real driver and a real driver done great job in this video. i enjoyed this lap wid u robert, thank you for green hell tour.

Thank you! Yes, I try to keep the green bar as green as possible at all time :-).

Wow! Congrats on breaking the 8 minute mark. It's great fun to watch someone drive a lightly modified MX5 to it's limits.

Fellow miata lover here, and man, that is some really nice driving.

It's Amazing how this Japanese car took the best of Europeans best, and people say Miata is a Girl's car. I have Always loved these cars. I can care less if people say its a Girl's car. It is not a Girl's car. The Miata is a Drivers Car. Give me a Miata and I will sure Rock it. The human body is incapable of feeling speed. Just acceleration or change of direction. The definition of G-Force. Acceleration and ability to change direction is everything in a sports car. And this itself is what makes Mazda's fun to drive. The Mazda Miata MX-5 isn't a drag race car and taking a Miata in a Drag strip does define acceleration of these cars coming out of corners. Top end speed is just a pissing contest. But take the Miata to a Gran Turismo track where it belongs and the muscle car will see a telephone pole before it ever sees the Miata. Mazda is All about Handling in their cars. Power to Weight Ratio has always been in Mazda's minds. And this is why I will "Always" drive a Mazda. Go Zoom Zoom!!!

This has to be one of the best laps I've ever seen

I can't imagine this guy taking the One:1 or the Agera RS in the Nurburgring. Absolutely insane.

That's some world class driving. It would be my dream vacation to spend a week at the ring with my own car.

Back again, this video is so raw. I know it's old but it's how little sports cars are supposed to be driven. Not on the streets pootling along at 30.

Thank you! Yes, the 8min barrier was the first goal but now 7:50 or 7:45 seems plausable with some upgrades and more practice.

videos like this make me want a track car. On track it's not about having 600whp its about skill.

... driving on the ring and suddenly a wild Miata appears ... 😁👌🏻🔝🔥

Guy in that GT3 was getting on my nerves, the way he's hogging the track, not allowing an overtake. Hes all badass and full throttle until a corner, then he's on the brakes HARD. Doesn't seem to know what a line is either.

The video that convinced me to buy a Miata as a track car. Amazing driving

Impressive driving and complete confidence in knowing the track and a car. I am sure GT3 driver's ego was hurt that day. Amazing!

now ,if you had left 10 minutes sooner you would,nt of had to rush would you..

oh my god broke the 8 second mark with a what 180 at the crank if that and road legal tires? That's impressive, that's ridiculously impressive wow....

Incredible driving skills! Keeping up, and then passing the "Race Ready" Porsche 911 GT3 in the corners. Awesome video.

Fantastic. Great to watch your skills getting the best out of the little MX5. It's a great little car, but your driving is truly impressive, as is your knowledge of the Ring. Great stuff mate.

Musical, phenomenal. Simply breathtaking. That's a proper 4 banger sound. Amazing driver also.

what the porsche driver didn't knew was that the driver of the MX5 is a test driver for Koenigsegg

Love how miata kills everything at the track

If I were the guy in the Porsche, I would've been trailing you to better learn the track.

love the sound, the resonance of the engine

I always come back to this video for inspiration. You make us miata people proud!

Outstanding. The next time I go to the store in my MX-5 NC I'm going to be fantasizing about Nurbergring and hoping I don't get a ticket. I love that car.

Great driving, that Porsche must have really got on your nerves lol

Absolutely hilarious how much faster the NC is around corners comparing with the "obstacle" 😄🤣 but the reality is you are a beast of a driver 😱😱😱

So frustrating have to stand on your brakes for the Porsche on the corners. Good driving, love that track! You get a really good workout on how long you can keep sharp and focused. Love the 50-50 distribution on the Miata, it really shows in a little drift and so predictable. It was the same for the very last RX-7 model as well. That one was fun to drive on that track.

Robert Serwanski, you're THE guy ! Nice job, really impressive.

Shows ya how even the humble MX5 can look quick in the right hands

Several Porsche owner egos were harmed in the making of this film.

Ahaha. Laying so much pressure on that Porsche. Long live the Roadster!

the way this car looks around corners is pretty accurate from the mx 5 gran turismo tuned car from gran turismo also, the grip and acceleration looks sweet

Damn! That's some fine skills, couple of times thinking "way too fast entry speed" then "Nope he's so got this!" Wow!

This is really badass level of driving! Professional driver with our little practical roadster FTW. It's scary to think he's not wearing fire protection and there is no roll bar.

WOW!!! Superb driving!! I better take it easy in my nc tomorrow after watching this dude 😊👍

Nice work obviously but mainly came to say thanks for the mods list. And those changes look so doable on a normal wage! You really are the number one performance upgrade in that car. I've got 17s on my NC and it lacks suppleness. People think I am silly to want more sidewall and reduced weight but I reckon it will drive better... suspect you're onto this. I've 6 and 4.5 kg springs with 9s and 6s for the track. Gonna keep the airbag steering wheel though :)

Well, after (finally) driving the ring I had to comment again. Amazing driving and track knowledge. And excellent attitude on track and towards slower cars. Looking forward to your sub-7:45 lap! Cheers!

You pushed the envelope for Miatas that day my man! Seriously I was impressed hearing that little motor screaming, no lift! Then finally you had it tapped out on not even the main straight away O;

you should have a rear view camera, that was a great ride

This video was one of the few reasons why I decided to stick with an N/A build on my NC3. I've had no regrets over choosing the response vs overall power.

That was fun. I pretty much predicted when he's pass the Porsche in the upper part of the track (the twisties). LOL! That guy had top speed and acceleration but this guy knows how to do the curves.

Anyone can drive fast on a straight line. But real skill goes to the driver that can go around corners the fastest.

Epic lap, also love the way you coast down at the end, tidy.

A little after 3:55 the testdriver says in frustration ”Snälla flytta dig” in swedish. ”Please move over!” To that Porsche in front of him. The driver is clearly from Skåne, the south of Sweden. I can tell from his accent.

Wow! Nice driving. The back half of the track was just glorious!!

Simply amazing car control. Dude in the Porsche looked like a total shleißeschlongmeister.

Awesome ! No wonder cc has so much confidence of a good lap time ! Thanx for video !

WoW Gran Turismo 6 looks better than expected.

Wow - what a superb video and awesome driving! To comprehensively see off a 911 GT3 RS in an NC Mazda MX-5 with some mods that the 911 has also in spades as standard. Fascinating.. I've lapped the Nurburgring in my own Z4M coupe, 911 C2S and Cayman S and have now bought myself a 'cheap' NC2 MX-5 2.0. I've been wondering if it would be good around the ring compared to the higher power stuff and there is the answer in this video! Great stuff! As others have commented, you gain so much in having a light car with moderate power that you can use all of the time pretty much...Will ba taking my MX-5 NC 2.0 to the Ring for sure., although I won't be expecting to be as fast as Mr Serwanski! ;-)

That is some seriously ballsy driving. Well done!

thank you for sharing that video, it is amazing.

Just amazing drive and exhaust sound

At the end of video, look, how much time it took to porsche finally catch up to this miata XD Miata driver has balls of steel

Dat sound though

Masterclass!

Thats some of the most amazing driving i've seen in a long time. Congratulations on the sub 8 minute time. Makes me wanna go back to the ring in my own NC. :)

...with obstacles called Porsche!! great driver!!

O.O *That second lap....* O.O the suspension setup and his choice of racing lines gives him the edge over the GT3... He's an excellent driver, wish the car had a little more power.

Fantastic driving, you really know your way around The Ring. Thanks for an enjoyable ride.

Very good driver, fantastic car!

Impressive. Nicely done.

Please do that again with an ND! And maybe an ND Cup. Lets see what the weight difference can do.

Wow, like they say: THE DUDE CAN DRIVE!!!!

the perfect line..... Am shock! HAT'S OFF!

The only thing this 'hairdresser' is chopping is the porsche. Well sorted mx5 and fantastic driving, great vid.

The essence of the Ring!! Bravo

just so you guys know, this is Serwanski he is koenigseggs test driver and miata can out brake everything

They should not feel too bad about being passed by a former racing driver and currently Koenigsegg's test driver.

this dude has balls of steel...

The car has amazing turn in and the intake sound sick!

Now, the "obstacles" makes more sense! That FUCKING Porsche!!!

Had to watch this twice ! Great skills

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!

some serious skills there

Pretty awesome, thanks B2G for the link.

The constant struggle between more horsepower but not so skilled driver and less horsepower but much more skilled driver right here.

All their years of Gran Turismo led up to this.

If you drove like that on a track in the States the driver in front of you would be screaming at you for following too close. I've seen it happen a few times and each time the one in front looses the argument. Excellent driving.

imagine with the one:one! amazing skills! congrats!

Hey, Yes I remember you, it was nice having a chat. Good conclusion regarding the way to go, practice to become a better driver and work with the cars suspension and weight. Cheers!

That Mazda driver can drive the car well. Very nicely done. 911 driver was pushing the car plenty hard when you relate it to what is at stake, which is the financial loss if something bad happens. Plus, we have no idea how many laps the 911 driver has done. When you watch the throttle indicator of the Mazda driver, he knows exactly how soon he can get in the gas even over blind hills & corners. He knows the course like the back of his hand, and I would not be surprised if he has been lapping there for yeeaarrs.

Не хило он Поршик натянул,красавчик.
