The Miatas were much more comfortable, and the information I learned was more easily transferable to my driving with the M3. Also, on a not-so-good weather weekend, the Miatas were MUCH faster than those open wheelers.

All three of them have been with SBRS for a long time and all three of them are sucessful racers. Rick had a podium finish at theDaytona 24, John has run in a number of series including Nascar Bush North.

These guys are pros and tend to be a cut above the instuctors you will encounter at PCA and BMWCCA DE events.
Don't short change those open wheelers, the are very reponsive and very good cars to learn in and an excellent way to perfect your car contol skills as they are not very forgiving if you do something wrong. I really enjoy sliding them around on a wet track.
