Buttonwillow 13CW - 146whp Miata Lap -

A new personal best set while testing aero on my Maxxis Cup SuperMiata during Roadster Cup Round 9 at Buttonwillow.
According to data, Lap 5 yielded a better sector time from Start/Finish line to Bus Stop corner, with most of the gains at Cotton Corners (about 0.5 second advantage), but I had to lift to get around traffic at the exit of Bus Stop.
There will always be a next time to set another blistering Miata lap time, hopefully with turbo power while testing the new drivetrain in a few months time.

205/50 on a 9! I suppose they are slicks, but still. I will hopefully never get bored of watching MX5's doing well on track

The Hoosier radial DOT-R tires are well-known in measuring wider than what is designated on the sidewall. The "205" tread width measures nearly as wide as most street tires that measure 225, which means the Hoosier tires mount the same way as the 225 tires.

VagaXt yeah I forget you American guys get an infinite amount more tyre choice than us. I run semi slicks which are also known to be wider than a road tyre but then slicks even more than that

That's fast Sonny! Where would you say aero really helps?

[@VagaXt]

Aero helps in Riverside and Bus Stop and under braking on the long straights.
