Thanks for the post Mark White, very entertaining video!
 wow, lots of rubbing fenders and dropped wheels. The driver starts off the very beginning of the race with not giving an inch to the car in front (#29) that clearly has the corner, causing both to lose time.  Then there are times it looks like he (the driver of car #81) is in no-man's land with his lines.  Just my 2 cents.

You're welcome,
It looks like a lot of fun doesn't it? I'd like to have a go, in someone else's car of course! Mark

 I would love to see a video from the first place car and see how he drove. I'm sure it was smooth compared to #81's drive, at least you would assume it was.

I have quite a few friends who race in a spec Miata series at Autobahn Country Club. Affordable wheel to wheel racing (well, guess it's all relative). They can be had for as little as $10,000. Nice one for mid to upper teens.
I'm currently in the process of trying to secure an Exige S and I've been catching grief that I should take the same $ to pay the $35,000 Autobahn initiation fee and put the balance to buy a spec Miata... |

First time on track for me was in a spec Miata, talk about sensory overload.

Very cool, it looks like a lot of fun! I think I'd be ok at taking fairly good driving lines, but man oh man I'm a long way off from passing other drivers in a head to head race like that, sure doesn't look easy - especially when overtaking (at least in the first video) seems to almost require bumping the other guy haha... PIT maneuvers allowed?
