In 12 hrs of race, they had a 2min coverage on the Mazda 3-rotor, loved the sound, but it had overheating problems in the last hour and retired.

Man the Mazda is still too slow, it cant compete with the Porsches spyders and healthy Lolas. Oh it had a white and blue paintjob, different from yellow and blue from last yr, it took me quite a while to identify the car, was trying to look for a yellow one.. Also the air intake is back to where they had it originally, above the driver's head

Isn't it in the P1 class? if so, and if it's within the rules, I think what you meant to say was that the other cars are too slow.

Yes it is in P1, the fastest class, but compared to other cars in P1, its still considerably faster, laps are consistently 2 secs faster in Sebring and the speed too! And the #2 Audi started in the pit, therefore last on the 1st lap, it caught up and took 2nd about half an hour into the race! And it is also the winning car.

I wish that people here in the US would start to realize just how good diesel engines are nowadays.
