Forcing the Inventor of the Miata to Drive Modified Miatas – Donut
25 minutes of entertaining automotive history, featuring one of the most iconic sports cars of all time
Former Motor Trend automotive journalist, Renault 8 Gordini owner / survivor and current Forza Motorsports esports racer Bob Hall also had somewhat of a career in automotive design…as a key figure behind the Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Mazda saw Bob's sketch of a sports car, and offered him a job to bring the sketch to fruition. The rest is history.
Donut delivers a banger of a video, where accurate automotive history blends with track segments, modern graphics, editing techniques, and a unique perspective on the subject at hand. Nice hosting by Jimmy as well.
Have you ever seen a car designer driving modified versions of something they'd designed? No? Same.
(Also, bonus Mazda 323 GTX history lesson buried halfway through…)
