I think the mx5 cup is too different and would be quite painful in traffic and just cause issues.
Here isthe comparison between rx7 and mx5 cup at Nurburg sprint.

Here is just the speed comparison graph showing how different they are.
The other thing is I still wouldnt use rsr data simple fact I ran about 6 laps using rsr in 2 cars and both are records by 1.3 seconds or so. On my servers there have been way more laps that are also much close and running at lower grip levels.
Unless RSR is used by more people it really is only a very rough estimate of cars potential. Putting a combo on a server getting way more laps in the same conditions shows the cars potential better then rsr does these days.
Yeah agreed, track list will really decide if MX5 is worth including, anything with longer straights than Modena it would be out against the others.
Thanks for the track list Wally!
There are 1-2 I don't have so u might need to share the version u will run.
Then I'll give the RX7 and MX5 a run on all... decide then ;D

OK, I'll put up download links and maybe make another thread.
Re the time comparison - it's all about this question: "Will random Driver X in car 1 have close racing with random Driver Y in car 2?". The question is not "Is Driver X faster in car 1 or car 2?" If you think of it that way, you can see that the RSR rank shows you on average, which cars will give close racing across a whole range of drivers of varying talent.
Hey, I don't want to be annoying, but... I actually agree completely with Marty. Mixing completely different type of cars with similar overall performance is great for the Mille Miglia and other time trials, but I am scared it would make for really bad short-track racing.Don't be scared... embrace the challenge as a sim racer. Having some MX5s (maybe!) on the track might make your race a little harder, it might make it a little more interesting... no one knows. You just have to deal with it.

Well, lots to think about in your car choice then, huh? ;)
the epic late breaking you can do in the MX5 is cool and should give it a chance against the top speed cars in a small trackAhhh, don't mention it to that pesky master of late braking, Imperious!
Yes, the MX5 is a different beast, with an advantage at this short track. It will be destroyed at longer tracks though. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is how to deal with an MX5 on the track. Blitz it on the straight then defend into the corners? I find the RX7 very taily though, needing gentle throttle application in the corners. The Skyline corners much more on rails, with its 4 wheel steering. Perhaps the Skyline would be a better car against the MX5, at this track anyway.Nothing wrong with a bit of david v goliath . . .
I like the idea of a small ballast (20, 30, 50?) on the RX7 (and maybe others) to even up the cars :PNah, no ballast. It's up to people to choose the cars they like. Remember, some people race for the fun of close racing with others or because they enjoy a particular car, knowing they'll never win.
