Don’t know what you mean? MX-5… rust…

 

That was my first track car -  My second one was a rust free ‘99 NB - should have kept it really. 

 

Looks like a top quality Donor to me...

It kinda was. My 2nd MX5 was purchased with a duff motor but near pristine bodywork (and a hard top). So I made 1 good car out of the 2 and scrapped the rusty leftovers 👍

Sneaked in the front row with the caterhams 🤣

after completing front & rear end upgrade to new Protech & Powerflex, wanted to have the geometry checked & set up to make sure I’m pointing in the right direction. 
In stepped  @Maurici- CleaR Motorsport  Thank you Maurici for the service with the bonus of an A-Road drive thru Staffs/Shrop & Cheshire to test it on the way home - happy days 🤩🙏🫶🏼

Second trouble-free track day with my MNR Vortx Inboard CBR1000RR.

I'm starting to feel more confident in the car. Lots of impressions and comparisons to my track-spec Westfield Aerorace. Ideally, I’d love to drive both cars on the same track, on the same day, and compare lap times directly. Unfortunately, that’s not feasible at the moment, so my conclusions are based purely on driving impressions.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:
The MNR feels very planted—stable, composed, and smooth over bumps and curbs. It's also easier to control when the rear steps out, especially compared to the Westfield.

This time, I tested it on both semi-slicks (Yokohama A052) and full slicks.
I also felt noticeably less fatigued after a session in the MNR.

On a more somber note, I recently read that Marc Nordon, the creator of MNR cars, is now in hospice care. Really sad and unfortunate news : - (

What is that sticking up from the front left wing?

 

Is it so you can see where the wheel is approximately if you can't actually see the wheel from the drivers seat?

 

Now you'll tell me it was just a bit of track debris that got stuck and I'll have to hide from the embarrassment for a month 😂

Exactly !  - this is "sight" i have attached to see where this wheel is

In Westfield I can see both wheels. In MNR left front not. 

I've got to say (not to brag or anything 🙂), but it actually works — and I’m really proud of this tuning!

Great idea that is! I'm so glad I invented it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

 

Plagiarism is alive and well!

Recently had a track day at Donington on the full circuit .. here's SWMBO taking her 82 year old dad out for a spin   

 

 

Sat at home with the stopwatch I managed a fastest lap of 2min6secs which I don't think is too bad for an old man with no budget and even less talent

Ah, apologies — I genuinely had no idea this had already been developed! Looks like we stumbled upon the same solution independently — classic case of convergent evolution 😄 I imagine it's not just the MNR that could benefit, but pretty much any high-scuttle, pointed-nose kit car would gain from having a “sightline” like that. Great minds engineering in parallel, huh? 😉

Great minds indeed @Andrzej, great minds indeed 😂

Don’t you just love Somerset? Close encounter with a very large tractor; the farmers are crazy busy right now so probably should have expected it. Needed a firm slam on the anchors when it appeared, but Winston stopped straight and quickly which was handy!

No need for sad face @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman), it looks more dramatic on the first image. I was fully stopped by this point so was all good.

 

 

Oh, and for accuracy it was Devon not Somerset 🤪

Glad to see you weren’t Hedley’d!
