They have been showing this promo for an interview with him on Speed all this week. The first time I heard the name I thought it was pretty ironic.

Fd3BOOST 04-15-2005 12:20 PM

Oh and btw, I went to add it to my TIVO list and found out it is going to be aired on my "USA" network. So don't be surprised if it is not necessarily on CBS. It's CBS sports.

I'll set it up for Tivo, what's it actually called?

Fd3BOOST 04-15-2005 12:33 PM

On tivo, go to Pick programs to record> Search by title>Sports>Auto racing. It's listed as the American Le Mans at Georgia.

mazdaspeed7 04-15-2005 12:55 PM

I want to go to the race, its only a few hours from me.

rowtareh 04-15-2005 12:58 PM

definately going to be watching that.

G2G 04-17-2005 12:47 PM

Got the TV on. Got my computer hooked up to my stereo, so when I go out on the balcony I can here the race from the radio. Bach's in 2nd place in P2. Good good day!

So Mazda comes in 2nd place at their debut. 3 laps down behind the leader. But there are only 4 finishing in the P2 class. Good battle in GT2. Hopefully Bach and Cosmo can learn the car better and bring their times down.

Dysfnctnl85 04-17-2005 03:58 PM

I was there!



I took vids and pics, I will post them later in the motorsports section. I hope my vid clips can somehow do the sound of this engine justice...definitely the loudest car on the track!

rowtareh 04-17-2005 05:26 PM

They did not really talk about the Mazda's from what I heard. I caught the middle hour of the race, cause I had to do yard work. Bleh!!



It was a cool race, but all they were talking about was the Audi's, Panoz, and the brand new factory Corvetter C6R, which was a HOT car.

venomrx7 04-17-2005 07:08 PM

I loved the panoz. What place did it end up in?



the mazda also sounded oh so nice on the tv...

G2G 04-17-2005 07:13 PM

Panoz was bumped by the porsche in the last five minutes of the race. Then the porsche was penalized, had to go into the pits, stop and then get back on the track. So the Panoz took the win. Very good race between the two of them.

rowtareh 04-17-2005 07:47 PM

PanozAuto The cars are dead ******' sexy, but I don't see any prices on the cars. They are V8's with no turbo or s/c and push 300+rwhp and trq. Not bad at all. The GTLM Convertible is my new wallpaper.

Here are a few pics from this afternoon.

I take it thats the three rotor courage car. They never really mentioned, or showed it during the race as far as I saw.

rotary510 04-17-2005 09:46 PM

The mentioned it was one of the loudest cars on the field, and that it was also pretty or something

It was most definitely the loudest. Looks like someone had pit passes =).



I'm transferring the video now, I might be able to get something up tonight or tomorrow.

Cool vid, thanks Dys.

Fd3BOOST 04-18-2005 05:56 PM

I was really dissappointed in the lack of coverage of the No.8 Courage.

Thanks for the video. To bad CBS did not have the brains to get a few shots of the DEBUT mazda car that placed second! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif



How many of you guys liked the car that lost the ass end during the race, or how about that random tire that broke from the rim.. Dohh

rowtareh 04-18-2005 09:03 PM

I liked when Panoz's hood flew like 30 feet in the air. That was pretty wild. It was a good race from what I watched, and those Audi's were tearing up the track.
