With 27 small Mazda MX-5s racing against each other, the Mazda MX-5 Cup events are usually quite close.

After all, we are talking about a competition in which the "weapons" are all the same, which is why special importance is given to the skills of the pilots and, at the same time, promoting very balanced duels.

Proving the balance existing in these duels seems to be the end of this race at the North American circuit of Sebring, on the occasion of the classic 12 Hours of Sebring. In a final worthy of a photo finish, there were three MX-5s who passed the finish line practically at the same time.

The difference between the first and the second was only 0.001s (one thousandth of a second) and between this and the third 0.013s. The video clearly shows this "crazy" ending and how everything was only defined at the last moment:
