Circuit: Zandvoort
Car: Mazda MX5 Cup

And the winners of the December Challenge are… AJ (Unlimited), Kyle (5 hours) and Michael (5 hours), and Jerry (1 hour). As usual, last month’s winners are not eligible. Why are there two second-place winners? TBZ self-asterisked by getting the prize winners wrong in our Social Media posts. This does NOT change the rankings: Congratulations to Noah, AJ, and Kyle for getting the fastest times!

Stay tuned for the January Challenge…

TBZ Owner Brandon threw his hat in the ring for the December Challenge, setting a reference time of 2:01.384 – He says he did a 2:00 in practice, but spun early in his official run wasting valuable time. Rules is rules, so the slower time stands. But, if Brandon can do a 2:00, we think sub-2:00 is possible. It is up to our speedy customers to find out.

Also, we goofed-up the pricing in the initial December Challenge announcement. The actual pricing is just $30 (Deluxe) or $20 (eSport). That’s 45 minutes for the price of 30! Come on down!


The December Challenge is a longer track than usual (Zandvoort), in the track-ready Mazda ND MX5 Cup. Unlike the more familiar Miata, the MX5 Cup is track ready by design and drives like it. We have given you a longer track with plenty of turns to play with.

This month we are doing a special price for the Challenge: Two 15-minute practice sessions and a qualifying round for $20 eSport / $30 Deluxe.

As usual, the winner will receive a one-month Unlimited Membership. Second and third place finishers will receive free sim time. All paying customers are eligible to compete.
