That felt good just watching it. Must've been nice for real. Also nice seeing drivers being courteous to faster drivers, as you were with the Porsche. Good on you all.
Proud 2020 RF owner here, I will never get to take my little car to such a track nor do I have the skills or balls so it's nice to see just what my car and a skilled driver can do. Well done!

Low weight man. It's always the key for fun in the corners. 190 HP is plenty for a car like this. Especially since you can wring it's neck and use all of it
@@tolga1cool I wouldn't say this car is particularly light.... certainly not in terms of MX5 history......the power train is what impressed me most. I had the model before this....hard roof. It rolled alot more than this, you couldn't have pushed it this far.....engine wasnt as eager either. I have an Rx8 as well.....again,way softer than this chassis wise
That was pretty impressive, from a driver's perspective. I'm starting to think I would be a terrible track driver. I also love seeing Miatas own other enthusiast cars with orders of magnitude more power on the world's most dangerous race track.
Nice Runde, sehr gekonnt. Respekt! Hat mega Spaß gemacht zuzuschauen. Perfekt gefahrene Kurven geben einfach ein sau befriedigendes Gefühl. Ich fand es auch echt erstaunlich, dass der 2er BMW am Anfang nicht wegziehen konnte. Hätte ich nicht gedacht. "Leistungsgewicht" scheint nicht nur Lotusverstanden zu haben...
Dude did all that with the A/C on and with a set of 100lb balls LOL ! He needs a lesson on Heel/Toe as well. The tail wiggle at 200kph took some balls!
So cool. Great driving. I spent many hours in simulation doing this exact thing, going balls to the wall on the touristenfahrten. I think my best time ever was an 8:45. You are the MAN! Lol! I have an NB now and I love every minute I spend in it.
@@BastianUllr had it for a few months now and I have rediscovered driving. My daily car is an Audi A5 sportback 40TDI quattro. Its a great car, reliable, etc... but its emotionless. My MX5 is less comfortable, loud, impractical, etc... but 10x the experience. I love it.
Very nice driving! You are skilled AND brave. My car just got FOX type 16 exhaust and KTec Street 70/40 coilovers installed af few weeks ago. The car dirves SO much better with these mods (i mean coilovers obviously). I can't wait to try it on the Nordschleife, of course at a very-very moderate speed first.
very nicely done. (racing background, been round the 'ring, have miata RF GT with full Whiteline sway bar kit - big upgrade from stock) This car's suspension seems to have had the full monty from the way it tracks much tighter than stock and how this driver, who really knows the 'ring, plays with both ends of the car. very skillful. it's rare that an 8+ minute time gets my heart rate up but this one did. An excellent drive.
Sauber gefahren. Erstaunlich, wie gut der MX5 da mithalten kann. Der Porsche ist auf der Geraden natürlich eine andere Welt. Gegen Ende der Runde wurde es aber etwas wackliger und rutschiger. In den engen Kurven geht es immer an der Haftgrenze der Reifen entlang. Congratulations.
Those coilovers seem to be doing a good job. I have a similar spec 2.0 184 MX5 with standard factory Bilstein shocks and it doesn't corner like yours does! Might need to upgrade mine...
As a previous na owner this car was always surprising people how fast it was to drive. Not in a straight line but around a course or through traffic. Normally track driving is way too boring for me but this held my interest. Miatas are momentum cars keep your speed up through the turns and you dont need all the hp to get you back to speed. Thats what makes them so much fun.
You made my dream come true. I always wanted to drive a Miata on the ring. I don't need something stronger than that, it is safe and fun at the same time.
Really great driving and it shows how capable the "underpowered" MX-5 can be. However, the downshift at Schwedenkreuz was risky at this moment. This is a place where the worst high speed crashes take place.
Nice run. I'd love to know where I could get those colored rings around your ac vents, for my 06' NC???? Car looks great, and drives very well. Enjoyed watching it.
I have the mazda nd rf top160pk version (tuned to 175hp). These little cars are also a dream to drive. I myself could not and dare not to drive it like you can though. Thumbs up!
it does automatically on some settings- combinations. But it takes into account whether the top is up or not, for how it operates. at least in the RF version.
Awesome drive and very fluid flow! Well done and the car is so forgiving to drive it literally just stick to the road! Definitely a Miata on my bucket list. Thx for the great upload! ❤
There is a reason why the MX5 is nearly the only production RWD 2-seater to survive and thrive today. The experience is unreal for the price.
Mightily impressive. Just shows how good the little roadster is in capable hands.
not that capable hands.

Amazing drive, what an adrenalin rush and only passed by a Porsche which is nothing to be ashamed of.
Indeed, and with ca.10% extra weight in the form of a passenger
Lol that Porsche vanished.

Also nice seeing drivers being courteous to faster drivers, as you were with the Porsche. Good on you all.
on the nordschleiffe with touristenfahrten that is a rule, you let faster traffic pass by safely.

This clearly shows why you don't need over 200hp if you are not good enough.
Clear! Even with 131 cv.. Look my last run in 8.22 brg!
The only section when you really suffer the lack of power is the long uphill one. :(

The point is between the ratio of torque (hp) and weight (KG).
For me this engine has too small power. And too small torque
Those late breaking almost kill me. Good job
Got to be brave without being risky. Not too easy haha. Glad you liked!
your not alone.. lol.. I get nervous..
I didn't see anything break.
@@ufind6048 I mean late braking
@@ufind6048 ffs xD
Amazing driving skills ! Your Miata must be really proud of riding with you. Salute to Mazda as well. What a small company making great cars.
No heel n toe, the clutch isn't really happy with this guy.
Seeing my favorite car take on all those cars was among the most satisfying experiences I think I've ever had.
Great driving, really like this angle of camera. Hope to see more Nordschleife laps soon!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! I'm working on it ;)
Yep best POV I've ever seen.
This just shows that you can have real fun without silly power......what a little fire cracker with less than 190 ponnies.....I'm seriously impressed

Love the fact that the Soul Red Crystal is in the cabin.
You are an amazing driver
High levels of respect for the passenger!
Wow! This made my palms sweat just watching. I almost feel bad for my new MX-5...clearly it deserves a better life than the one I'm giving it :)
Well said. I feel the same.
That was pretty impressive, from a driver's perspective. I'm starting to think I would be a terrible track driver.

What a great camera setup, feel like I'm sitting in the backseat!
What backseat 😂
@@paulklp8262 the virtual backseat
Yeah, this is a special edition miata with backseats
So cool !!
I’m very happy to see that Japanese car run through Nurburgring
Thanks for your video from Japan
I have a 2016 ND soft top and absolutely love it. Never get tired changing gears.

Danke, das freut mich!
Ja die 184 PS bringen den MX verhältnismäßig gut nach vorne 👍
When your driving skills surpasses the car, magical things happen.
I have been used as ballast in an MX5. Probably the greatest contribution I've ever made to humanity.
That was a hell of an impressive drive, especially considering the extra weight added to the car by the huge balls of the driver.
Hahaha thank you!!
that guy is flying. straight out of the box = what a car!
Dude did all that with the A/C on and with a set of 100lb balls LOL ! He needs a lesson on Heel/Toe as well. The tail wiggle at 200kph took some balls!

Jinba Ittai! Driver and machine are one! Awesome drive! Good knowledge of both track and car!
Thid is one of the best ND runs I've seen! Nice 👌
I just picked up a brand new 2021 MX5 GT RF & the power to weight ratio these machines have it just unbelievable. Great driving 🚗 👌
Thank you! Congratulations on the new car, I bet you'll have a lot of fun with it 🙏
That's crazy. 1:20 slower than the first record the Nissan GT-R set - with like 300 hp less! Very impressive :P
Bien lo dicen.
En las rectas se valora el vehículo.
En las curvas se valora el piloto.
Te la rifaste como los grandes mi amigo !!! 😎😎😎✔️✔️👏👏
I repeat very well a very good driver and he knows green hell very well, the joy of watching him
It's not what you drive but how you drive it. Awesome work.
Wow amazing drive sir. You made that car work for you and smooth steering control.
My goodness, what a driver. what a wonderful car. Excellent.
Pushing it to the limit and shows just what the Miata is capable of. That Porsche went by like it was on a Sunday drive though.
This is a perfect video to show those who think the Miata is not a serious car.
Excellent driving skills. Now that’s real “zoom zoom”
shows that horsepower is not the only thing that counts. I will have my first mx5 delivered in 2 weeks, EXCITED!!!
How has it been?

Mad respect... I salute you recaromx5. You really took the car to the edge. Mad skills...
Great video quality, even better driving skills!
Great cam angle with rear view in the shot!
Amazing driving skills man id die if I tried to keep up. Balancing the understeer and oversteer of those cars is hard.
This is terrifying, glad to be able to experience it in the comfort of my own couch at home.
All I can think is something Mitch Hedberg said: "I wanna be a racecar passenger."

Lost at least 20sec by that A/C being on half of the lap :D. Sublime driving buddy!
For sure! 😄 Thank you!
Actually A/C turns off by itself when you drive hard.
AC with roof down when hot lap is a sign of a PUNK 🤣👏
Sabine would’ve been proud. Congrats mate for this lap.
Excellent...! But my eyes also triggered to the superb navi screen
Good point.. that can actually be pretty helpful so you know what's coming up
What phone mount is that? Keeping your phone secured thru all that driving!!!
great video! I learned a lot by watching you drive
2:24 scared the crap out of me, great driving!
Same haha, thanks 🙏
Those coilovers seem to be doing a good job. I have a similar spec 2.0 184 MX5 with standard factory Bilstein shocks and it doesn't corner like yours does! Might need to upgrade mine...
that last fist bump 👌👌👌
I love to see it doing so well against those other more powerful cars! Great driving.
Ich wünschte ich könnte halb so gut fahren. Respekt!
Damn, nice drivig! I would have crashed it at least 3 times.. ^^This MX-5 is all the power I would need.
Best informal POV racing I have ever seen. Who is that guy?!
Good knowledge of the track and driving on the edge! That's how you beat more powerful cars.
Only with 180 nHp...
Nice driving...
That's really funny car in sport mode.
zoom zoom! Got my adrenaline going...thanks for posting this!
That´s a damn good cellphone holder lol, stood up to hard cornering around the ring.
The car certainly exceeds the ability of the tires. Great video
I upgraded to semi slicks by now. Way more grip
Lightness is everything!
Man did all this with the AC on and a passenger. Boss.

This is now my favorite Touristenfahrten video.
May I suggest a proper roll bar for extra protection?
He has the roof down, zero safety what so ever
@@RiyadhElalami Not so, there are individual roll-over bars, one behind each seat
Wow, what a car. What a driver.
Why did you have the AC ON prior to 4:55 ?
It makes no difference because the AC turns off automatically above 5k revs
Really great driving and it shows how capable the "underpowered" MX-5 can be. However, the downshift at Schwedenkreuz was risky at this moment. This is a place where the worst high speed crashes take place.
He drives pretty well, but indeed needs to improve on his downshifts and where to do it and where not.
I think he is not blipping the throttle on downshifts
Very nice driving - really pushing that little roadster.
amazing driving..... I just got car sick watching this I cant imagine actually being in that MX-5

What a car and What a pilot
Sweet! You have a very trusting passenger.
Slight feather foxhole..great driving tku
Why on Earth did you have the A/C switched on?
it does automatically on some settings- combinations. But it takes into account whether the top is up or not, for how it operates. at least in the RF version.
@@jull444 in my mx5 nd2 it automatically comes on if you direct the air to the windshield other then that never...
I turned it off half way through the lap. Didn't realize it earlier lol
I'm pretty sure A/C goes off on WOT anyway.
What is in that Miata?! A\C and two people and it's keeping up on straights?!
Wow. Dream car. Fantastic run.
Thank you! 🙏
Wanna ask when does the eurobeat kicks in?
