Sorry Ezzy - I suppose I should elaborate...

Mazda has raced NA rotor's since the beginning, a forced induction 3 or 4 rotor wouldn't make a good reliable circuit car. Mazda themselves haven't done it - I'm not in the position (financially) to start doing it! There is far too much heat generated from 100's of more hp, it complicates everything.

I am a massive fan of the 787B, I have seen and heard it in real life - it is just plain amazing!

true that 4!
i have downloaded a few 787B video clips from your site a few years back, and they do sound amazing!
will you keep the 7 here or bring it to the uk once it is done?

Hi mate, I'm hoping it will tour around the world a bit. As it is a multi-purpose vehicle (circuit being the main), I want to do a number of things with it, like Drag, High Speed runs, Drift, Show, etc.

If we are still in the UK by the time it is finished then it will go over there for a bit.

Fair enough - and it does look good. I also think you're probably right about the track.
