I promise myself and the world that one day I will be driving through these corners with my woman or a lovely friend in my sports car during our holiday. I'm a 19 years old teen was born in Istanbul now living in Düsseldorf and I believe, that day will come soon or later. You inspired me man! Good Job
You really should have a spotter car letting you if the road is clear. Could have been a shitty outcome if a car was on any of those blind corners. Besides that nice driving. Let’s keep everyone safe out there.
A drifting car is a pendulum. When youve got two hairpins one immediately after the other, lift the throttle, let it start to swing the other direction and get back on the throttle. You dont need to initiate for every new corner
A stock MX5 is hard to connect turns because of the low power, soft suspension and short wheelbase, it is possible on flat ground but he is going uphill.
Hi mate, nice series of videos and nice driving! I have the same car, I have 2 questions for you: 1) How do you initiate the drift for example on a 2nd gear hairpin ? Do you clutch quick, do you simply go full throtle or do you play with the weight transfer on entry ? How much throttle approximatly to maintain the drift ? 2) I will soon have to change the stock tyres (Bridegestone that i don't like). I'm thinking of Michelin PS5 but I am worried that it's too grippy. I like grip but I like to have "fun" sometimes when I want like you! I read that you are using Hankook tires (K127 ?). Is it a good compromise between grip and fun ? Have a good day
Thank you very much, really appreciate. 1) First of all the road was a bit wet. Its nearly impossible to drift the car like this on a complete dry tarmac (too less power). To initiate I rotate the car in the direction of the corner and go full throttle (No clutch kick). As soon as the LSD is locking i try to adapt my throttle position to hold the drift -> example min (3:15) 2) 180bhp and the liniear torque doesnt need PS5s to be honest. With Hankooks or Pirellis you will always have enough grip. Im driving Hankook S1 EVO. My preference for the Miata is always: less grip :)
Hey man, I'm rocking the Pilot Sport 5's on my G184 and can confirm your worries: they are really grippy. They're awesome for fast corners but if you want to drift it's close to impossible, at least in the style of this video (or maybe more skilled drivers than I can still drift them)
Ciao! Proprio oggi ho ordinato anch’io la mia miatina😍😍😍ho una domanda da farti: sapresti quantificare in quanta tranquillità la miata ti fa driftare senza avere l’ansia di andare a sbattere contro un muro ogni volta che esci un po’ allegro da una curva o una rotonda? So che lo fa facilmente e un mio amico che già la possiede lo fa a ogni curva se vuole ma chiedo anche a te con quanta tranquillità fai drift avendo quella percezione che hai sempre il mezzo sotto controllo. Grazie se risponderai ✌️
@@Drive_Nation yeah it would be safer for sure 😅by the way I think that it will pass many years before I feel so sure that I can do that with low risks 😅we will see ✌️
Bro Nice Driving i feel like we are on the Same level wo i really enjoyed watching you Drive that car. Is it Stock because now i consider buying one too. I currently drive a m235i from 2014. greetings from Germany keep up the great content.
Thanks mate. I have a lot experience with the M235i as well. I would never trade in the great inline six for a MX5. Id rather would invest in a mechanical LSD for the BMW.
Thank you very much. Really appreciate. One of my first cars used to be a MX5 NC. With this one I learned driving and drifting. Started learning on parking lots.
@curtisliddell7486 he's definitely drifting. It'd be a powerslide if he lost it for like just a second, but he's containing the slide for a few seconds
You brought such a huge smile to my face. I’ve been wanting this car for the longest time. I just can’t wait to own it someday
thank you so much! that’s the reason I make these videos
Dude same, mi getting mine in august 🤞😁
Bit frustrating where he couldn't maintain the drift to connect two consecutive corners.
MX5 has too less power for that. I tried several times but no chance.
Amazing how controlled these slides are. Well done!!👌🏼
Thank you!

Go for it man. You will get that sooner or later :)
The time will come
I was born in Brasilien and i also moved to Deutschland, and i cant wait to get this car, aber mann muss Geduld haben, viel Glück

I have always a passenger who is looking and make sure there is no one around the corner. All save mate. No worries.
Thats why hes not powersliding until he has a clear view of the rest of the corner
go to the circuit, do not use the public road for your plays. Don´t be penniless... @@Drive_Nation

well the MX-5 has a bit too less power for that doesn’t it ?
exactly !
@LW20007 it's moreso the short wheelbase that makes it more difficult
@@LW20007 184 horses for 980 kilos = 1 on 5 = very reasonable

This is pure joy! Amazing drive
Dude, sick Drive!
Lovely driving! I didn’t know that nd can use handbrake to j-turn…
Please let me know which tires and brake pads did you use🙏🙏
Handbrake works pretty well. Running Hankooks 205/45/17 with stock brake pads 🙂
@@Drive_Nation thanks😂
How often do you need to buy new tires when you do this much?
2 times a year. It’s worth it 😀
@@Drive_Nation appreciate the answer, thx

Awesome, thank you! I will find an empty parking lot this week end and follow your advice ;)@@Drive_Nation
How does your empty parking lot session went?@@philou118

@blackspell9890 For drifting with PS5s you need wet conditions. The Miata is a playful car I would always go for less sticky tires 😊

The car is very controllable so don’t worry! But I would suggest to learn drifting at a big parking place and not on a public road
@@Drive_Nation yeah it would be safer for sure 😅by the way I think that it will pass many years before I feel so sure that I can do that with low risks 😅we will see ✌️

@@Drive_Nation haha Nice do you have Videos od that too ? And Deag your probably right thats just the thing thats missing
sights look beautiful
You are very consequent!
Did u use the handbrake for that U-turn?
Yes 👍🏻
It was pleasure to watch this :-)
Thank you :)
Do yo have KPC on or off ?
Traction control is off?
Everything is off, otherwise you can’t drift :)
Do you have shares in tyre company
Something I should consider 😂😂
Which tune do you have on ?
Any Suspension?
Tire combo?
The car is 100% stock. Tires are 205/45 R17 Hankook. They slide pretty well. 😊
@@Drive_Nation maaaan 😲. So very nice driving, are you a Professional Driver or Just Trained by trackdays ?
Thank you very much. Really appreciate. One of my first cars used to be a MX5 NC. With this one I learned driving and drifting. Started learning on parking lots.
sometimes too crowdy road
Lucky guy...
Thank you. Glad you like it 🙏🏼
Stock suspension?
yes everything is stock :)
avevi escluso i controlli?
Non vi è alcun motivo per controlli. La macchina è scoppiata accidentalmente e I’ho salvata per evitare di
peggiorare 😊
@@Drive_Nationche significa?
Not really drifting, but cool power slides!
kinda hard drifting with only 180hp
@@LW20007there is always someone who doesn‘t know the difference between drifting & powersliding. This is defenitely drifting 🎉
@@LW20007 not really. my 125hp BP nb goes just fine at drift days.
@@verixo hes powersliding halfway into corners? not entering the corner in a slide idk, looks like power slides to me
@curtisliddell7486 he's definitely drifting. It'd be a powerslide if he lost it for like just a second, but he's containing the slide for a few seconds
Grande bro, ma va di traverso 100% stock coi controlli attivi?
La mia non parte così facile 😮, abbiamo anche lo stesso colore 🤩
La strada è umida
