Although the course layout seems simple, some parts are quite technical. For e.g. at last year's event the 2nd corner had a noticeable dip which you'd hit right about the time you do your first 1-2 shift. Of course, as you know it and especially in a short-wheelbase car like a miata, when you upshift mid-corner during full accelaration you have some weight transition to the front, couple that with that dip/bump and a shift that is required mid-corner and you'd have some number of folks spinning out at the 2nd corner as well (right after the starting line). The rest of the course is a mixture of increasing/decreasing radii turns (none too technical), but you have a tendency to carry too much momentum towards the last corner (mid corner and braking required) and that caused some hairy oversteer situations for most folks as well...
