No, track was drying up but still wet. I was going for the wet line but the crappy tires meant the brakes were locking up (no ABS) braking in that zone. I went for the dry line after that and it was fine.

Revs drop as clutch goes in, come up slowly as you start to ease out of the clutch, then as soon as the revs jump up (ie: clutch gets dumped) it snaps around. Maybe change the camera placement to show what you're doing. Just going off what it looks like in the video.

I don't remember 'dumping' the clutch on that straight, I just remember coming in too hot and the brakes locking up
The thought is that extra braking force from the downshift might have caused you to lock up.
I think that's more of a testament on how easy a Miata is to drive. Same thing happened when I co-drove with a friend of mine. My times were consistent and fast, but his best time was around 1s off of mine driving my Miata.
I'm always trying to step my game up. No one said I was fast
Phen got up to speed quick, I was impressed.
And, not to take anything away from Phen's driving, but James is right, the car is VERY consistent and predictable, and it's not too hard to get 90% of the way there very very quickly. It's getting that extra 10% that takes seat time and repetition

Yeah when Marc co-drove my car a couple weeks ago he was around a second off my time as well.

Hell, Marc was faster than me in my car, took me 5 runs to cut down the difference to under half a second.

Oh yeah. That car does exactly what you want it to do... almost telepathic at times. I liked it A LOT. And on top of all that... if I hadn't ridden with Andrew and saw what the car can do, there's no way I would have had the balls to go out there and push it off the bat. This I can honestly say.

He's married, he has no balls. That's why he drives the car.
