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.

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

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..
