I just got back from the Mazda Rev It Up tour in L.A., and in addition to seeing the car in person and sitting in it, I picked up a 65 page book on the RX-8. They were giving the book out to everyone who completed the exit survey. It's a "Special Series Road and Track Guide to the Mazda RX-8". I suspect that most of the articles are straight out of Road and Track, but there are some things that look new to me. I haven't been spending much time (30 minutes a month) on the site since the look and demographics changed, so I may have missed some articles.
The contents:
4 The Inside Story - Interview with Noboru Katabuchi, RX-8 program manager
6 Design Dynamics - Sam Mitani
16 Road Test: 2004 Mazda RX-8 (probably a reprint, I know I've read this before)
26 Chassis Technical Analysis
32 RENESIS: A Renaissance of Rotary Power
38 Racing History
48 Star Making (story on a racing series with the Renesis engine in an open-wheeled race car)
52 Driving Adventures (Derek Hill drives through California and Laguna Seca)
62 Aftermarket Magic (about stuff that we might see from the aftermarket)
