...... But engine already out in an hour.

Not having to undo the bellhousing mount bolts would tend to speed things a little I guess ;)

Video footage of the moment it popped is mandatory !

Out in an hour is easy, I have had lots of practice recently.

Rev motor to 7500rpm or more if possible consistently until couple separates.

Lift engine out.

Only 7500??  I hear 10,000 and the engine extracts itself as well.

...the vast number of MX5's including two very quick and lightened ones. 

They aren't really lightened. Just well setup.

I managed to lightened my car on the track and showered everyone with bits and now will go no further.  But engine already out in an hour.

Here's the remains of your bellhousing swept off the track... ouch!  On my video you can see Hung and myself weaving on the main straight to avoid a big chunk of cast alloy.

Surgery.

Does this mean you have time to pick up the rest of Paul's old car from my garage?!

The replacement bit is also red, can't you just super-glue it back?
