Re: 1 Day Formula/MX-5 racing school

That explains a lot of things... Thanks Roger.
All I've noticed about xs cars when bedding brakes or scrubbing tires is that I can't drive 'em. Feet jammed up in the pedal box and knees banging against the dash board bulk head make all pedal work slow and ponderous.

Given your wise explanation wonder how many of the wee people are left footing it?
