I do not own this, but couldn't find it, in it's entirety, anywhere else. I believe it's aired on the Discovery Channel here in the UK.

2nd short drive really but who's counting. Interior yet to go in, still fine tuning engine. Lots of fun so far, though!
Corvette vs. MX5 Turbo @ Nurburgring. 8m05s BTG laptime
Read more about my blue MX5 here: http://goo.gl/dvoXb. Rather than just blitz the 'Ring in 7mSomehing, KarlH followed my little Mazda around for a lap on the recent www.Trackdays.de event.
My MX5 runs a home-brew turbo with a chinacharger, HSD coil-overs and Ultra-Racing ARBs. To read more about this car and the Nurburgring, visit www.BridgeToGantry.com.
