Anyone else catch it?



#70 Speedsource RX8 was ahead 4 laps over the nearest GT3cup Porsche with 30 minutes left when I had to turn off the race.



Good stuf!



Zoom Zoom! Go Mazda!



I was looking on a Porsche forum and they are licking their wounds over this win. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif

4 laps? WTF!?



I suppose they are using Renesis motors? Sorry, I don't keep up with racing.

I was trying to keep up with it in between projects. An awesome win for Mazda! Go rotary!

We saw that today at the shop. I wonder what the rules are for that class in terms of engine modifications. Those Rx8s must have serious weight advantage to complete with the porsches. N/A 3 rotors just cannot complete with a 3.4L TT..
