KEY MOMENTS
First outing in a Spec Miata
Heavy rain for most of the weekend
Sector 3 of the circuit completely flooded
“Overall it was a strong debut for my first time in a Spec Miata. While the weather and track conditions were far from ideal, getting to experience the Spec Miata in the rain forced me to stay on my toes constantly experimenting with how the car behaved. Leaving this weekend I am feeling more than prepared for Comp School at Chuckwalla.”
POST RACE
Rain? It never Rains in Southern California!
Rain. It's called the great equalizer in motorsport. It’s where the good and the great stand out. However, with such conditions comes great risk, the rain is the time where the biggest crashes occur. But the rain also brings out heroic performances such as Senna’s drive to 2nd in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix or George Russell’s front row start at the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.
