One row per driver and car (a driver who changed cars has a row for each). Each cell is that driver's best in that car across the selected events, with the session it was set in. Best 5-lap stint is the mean of the driver's quickest five consecutive race laps, and consistency is how far their median race lap sat behind their best in that race (small is a driver who does it every lap); both come from the race with the best stint. The fastest in each column is purple, and a car whose best lap is more than 115% of the fastest in its class is greyed (marked ">115%" beside the driver) and left out of the colour scale. Click a column to sort, a row to highlight it. Theoretical lap is the sum of the best sectors, whichever laps they came from, and never slower than the best lap (where a car's fastest laps were recorded without sector times, its best lap is used). The 115% mark is about the car's best lap only: a car whose best lap is within 115% of the fastest in its class is never marked. Greyed sectors with no theoretical lap mean the sector times on file do not add up to a believable lap. Letters refer to the events above; Q is qualifying, R a race.

Sectors

Sectors are numbered in lap order from start/finish, whatever each event's timing called them; the loop names are SCCA timing's.

of each entrant. The manual may be in the form of printed material, microfiche, CDs, DVDs, and/ or Internet access to
manufacturer sponsored web-based databases that is readily accessible at time of inspection. The manual is intended to
aid scrutineers in identifying parts and the configuration of the automobile.
The items outlined in this VTS document represent the only modifications and safety items permitted and/or required on
Spec MX-5 vehicles other than safety items as required in SCCA’s current GCR Section
9. Parts and components may not perform an unauthorized function (i.e. Modifications must be stated as authorized or
cannot be done).
If the Mazda Factory Manual or these rules provide only a partial specification or no specification at all, the Mazda parts may
not be modified beyond what is permitted in these rules. Compliance will be determined by comparison to new or like parts
and/or the parts compliance measurement listing delivered by Mazda. Other approved parts with only a partial specification
or no specification available in these rules may not be modified.
Assembly, rebuild, and refurbishment procedures, and all associated dimensions must adhere to the published factory
service procedures, except as otherwise stated in these rules. No components may be added or omitted from those
specified by the published factory service procedures. All components must be comply with stated standard dimensions.
It is permitted to use industry standard procedures to repair damaged components.
