Seems as if people see the engine as obsolete. I mean, theres always going to be people that dont like rotaries, but I think that number is increasing. I wish mazda would have a factory backed team,running a rotary, in a major racing event. At least I know people like us will keep this engine alive.

Ummm.. you should watch the SCCA World Touring Car series... I forget the drivers name but there is an RX8 being campaigned... and last race I saw the announcers were pratically fawning over the RX8 in terms of track reliability and how well the car does.. that driver placed first in that race.. and that was I wanna say two days ago

what happened to the imsa car running the 787b? It was backed by mazda?

I believe it was. I have a video of it running. Whoever the camera operator is, who is professional, can't even keep up with it on the track. It is insane.

rowtareh 02-17-2004 08:08 PM

Sorry, my mistake. It was a 4 rotor. Still, which is VERY impressive, and very loud.

Thats rad, but I meant on a scale compared to ALMS or something like that, at least thats a start though. Sorry I dont get Speedchannel.
