Yes, when you feel the front end getting light it is time to call it a day. That's how the e-type got its reputation as an rich kid killer: they were so fast the front end would be lifted off the ground and that's a positive feedback loop.

MX5 is a great little car, you can carve your name with those.

Yep. I was competing in what's called VMAX - top speed racing - and it was really reaching the limits of aerodynamics at 230 and above. Other people using these cars end up building full aero for them however I pivoted to lower speed things with it.

I've been campaigning the car for about a decade though, fantastic machine.
