2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND2) 1:30.165 at Harris Hill Raceway (H2R)

Two highlights from today:
1. Practice really makes perfect. With more laps, comes more confidence. With its current setup, the Miata is a very nimble car on the track and there are times when things can get a little spicy. As seat time accumulates, I start to be able to predict what'd happen if I do sth, and to be ready to react correctly to those situations. It's truly a magical experience that one can feel only by sustained practice on the same track.
2. I was complaining about the brakes in my last Miata video, but today I think the brakes do work consistently. This might very well be due to the ambient temps but it maybe a good time to flush the brake fluids.
The cooler weather helps with power and braking, but takes away the grip from those summer tires. Very happy with the low 1:30 time I got today and met a new friend!
