Jonnie Boy:
If everyone based their cars on these specifications then all models of MX-5 should compete with virtually identical power to weight ratios and ensure close and fair racing.
They might not be the fastest cars on the planet but in order to win it puts the emphasis on driver skill rather than raw power.
