Several people mooted this car as great for a close racing series. I was initially sceptical as thought i would find it boring but its actually quite feisty and fun. This is a test race to gauge peoples interest and how the cars race in close action in lieu of possibly running a series. The following week i will run another test race using the Cayman GT4's for further feedback. Roll up and enjoy ![Smiley](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/smiley.gif)

Practice server up, I looked at the temperature at Vallelunga so expect higher temps than you've had recently ![](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/sport012.gif)

MX-5 is ok for racing but it's 100% boring car...just a piece of metal without soul.

Sorry Mark, but thinking twice, i will not join MX5 Cup series because this modern series car has H shifter, which i tired from in classic series, having loose time in every upshift using paddles and used -1 gears in some tracks to minimize it. I will think to join to modern series if we will use modern cars with paddles. Will see on Caiman GT4 or may be some ultramodern supercars? Anyway thanks for your research ![Smiley](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/smiley.gif)

I’m with you on that ![Grin](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/grin.gif) but hopefully it’s good for racing ![smartass](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/smartass.gif) Alexey you were one of the guys who suggested this car! Anyway, it’s a test race not a guaranteed series, so just all turn Up and have fun ![Smiley](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/smiley.gif)

Yes Mark, but i more thinked about UKAC pilots racing here ( this car is very popular in leagues due ability to making long close battles) But now i thinking about my own racing soul ![Grin](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/grin.gif)

Thanks Mark for organizing those test races to see which car will be most suited for the next series. I'll skip this one tho, don't have the DLC (in fact this is the only DLC from AC I didn't buy, but those japanese cars just aren't appealing to me ![Cheesy](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/cheesy.gif) )

i can see i am off to a flying start with this car choice ![laugh](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/laugh.gif) Had an AI race at Silverstone National with these and they are surprisingly good to drive, should provide some good close racing. Maybe a heavy success ballast system to keep things interesting?

Sorry Mark, but thinking twice, i will not join MX5 Cup series because this modern series car has H shifter, which i tired from in classic series, having loose time in every upshift using paddles and used -1 gears in some tracks to minimize it...
so if you had a h-shifter you would race it? (looks at spare shifter...) I'll skip this one tho, don't have the DLC (in fact this is the only DLC from AC I didn't buy, but those japanese cars just aren't appealing to me ![Cheesy](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/cheesy.gif) ) Japanese Pack DLC is £2.09, you can't use that as an excuse ![Tongue](https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/Smileys/srou/tongue.gif) .... I'll try and be there, planning on shifting my game rig to another room in the next few days for extra space but it *should* be back together by then. No objection to some MX5 cup here, and I *might* have a buddy I can persuade to join too
