- Brief walkthrough of NJMP's Thunderbolt course (and chicane option) with instructor commentary. The vehicle used is a Spec Miata so some tips may need to be adjusted based on your car type. Mostly intended for novice drivers or folks who haven't ever driven the track before.
I like the info Thank you for sharing ! I'm headed there this weekend in a MINI for the first time !!
Hahaha I believe you were in lightening tho.
THX! helpful for a motorcycle as well. Your lightning vid helped me w/ the tip about the billboards :-)
Thanks for making this!
Quick question, based on reported race entries, and MOST of the videos I've seen on CZcams, I was under the impressing that Spec Miatas race on the track with only other Spec Miatas. However, it seems like, at NJMP at least, there are other cars on the track at the same time?
Sorry for the wildly late reply on this. The group I raced with at the time (and instruct for now) utilize whats called multi class racing. The idea is much like 24 hours LeMans or Daytona, there are several classes on track at once all having their individual races. Some times if the field is large enough, only Spec Miata will be present on the track, but typically there isnt enough time in the day for every class to have its own race, so we condense them into two multi class races.
Do you still instruct here? I want to attend the track on aug 25th. It will be my second track event. My first track day was raceway park last Sunday.
I do actually, I will be instructing that event as well.
@@radratracing3225 what course layout is used for the school? Do the add the chicanes?
Would the lines change significantly for a RWD mid-engined car?
No they wouldn't. Things start changing here a little bit when you start adding serious amounts of aero or are very high HP. I assume from your pic that you are talking about the Cayman, this is a good baseline for that car.
Yep 981 Cayman GTS, good spot. I currently drive a GTI, but am looking for a Cayman to track. @@radratracing3225
"miatas can do it flat out" great thaf means NA Honda civics can do it aswell
