-->glamcem: 1LE vs. turbo Miata at Grattan. The Miata feels like the right scale for the track, which is so tight with awkward elevation changes and both on and off-camber challenges. Yet the 1LE is sooo much easier to get the max out of it. In the 2nd session, I was already within 2 tenths of my quickest of the day, and stayed there. Boom there's the limit. The Miata isn't nearly as communicative at the limit, nor as compliant in the rough stuff like Grattan's terribly bumpy "back straight".
Some pictures: Super gloomy weather, and not warm either.
