I just found this page. I'm guessing it's a stock RX-8 modified to look like the race car.

It looks more like a scale model to me. Too bad I can't read Japanese!

That looks like the same paint job off of the 1991 Mazda 787 B 4 Rotor race car.

Not closely enough. Sorry!

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that's the model they're using for the up coming GT4 game for PS2.

I also think it's a model they intend to run in the GT category in the upcoming season.....

Later,
