    Horse vs. Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Horse vs. Mazda MX-5

    To celebrate 25 years of the Mazda MX-5 at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2014 and Goodwood Three Friday Nights this month, Mazda teamed up with Goodwood for a race like no other: Horse vs. Mazda MX-5.

    Two very different beasts; one very simple challenge: to win a race of 60 metres. How will the rear wheel drive 126PS MX-5 compare against Minneapolis' four legs and top speed of 38mph? Who will cross the finish line first?

    If the MX5 is on asphalt, then that's my vote.


    Really, UK? You feature a horse racing a car don't use horsepower?
