Looks like a lot of fun and time to catch up on reading or email during the looonnnngggg straights. Awesome driving and not too shabby for a "chick car". 
Even in the shorts, this was likely safer than F1 cars in that place in the late 60's (or maybe 70's - if you could ask Niki Lauda)

There's a TON of weight (relatively speaking) that could come out of that car too. The soft top alone can be replaced with a lightweight hard top saving about 30 pounds and decreasing drag.

Three Wheelin'
I saw a video a while back of an even slower car, an econobox of some kind, with some guy driving the wheels off of it around Nordschlieffe. He rarely took his foot off the gas.

The only thing better than a slow car fast is a fast car fast, and that's a lot more work!
Never seemed to not be impressed by the laptimes that Miatas can achieve, love those little battlebots!
