Hi,

I thought some here might be interested in some photos I took at a track day that was organised here in New South Wales (that's Australia :) ) at the Wakefield Park circuit in the town of Goulburn.

There were no RX-8s :( but a good deal of rotaries including an R100, an RX-3 coupe, a '70s 929 with a series 5 turbo engine (call it an RX-4 :) a bunch of 1st generation '7s, a 2nd gen and a few 3rd gens. Oh, and a crazy old Corolla with a 12aTurbo!

A few pics:

The s6 in this photo is probably going about 180km/h :)

It's amazing what you can do if you abuse panorama software :)

The big versions of the panoramas are about 6000 or 7000 pixels wide :)

o man that would be an awesome commercial, like the cadillac. Like go through all the years with the RX's and hit the RX-8 at the end. instead of some guy sitting at the subway, be somewhere better...i have no idea

Actually 1 gold and 3 silver ;) I'm pretty sure he had matching wheels for the street and mismatched for the track with semi-slicks.
