What's allowed now is a mix of 20 percent biobutanol and 80 percent ethanol . Cars running will have to carry extra weight until after the trial races.

 

But the engine will blow up a few hours in..........

What he said!

Its sad though , FIA/ALMS series really needs to lift that ban on rotaries asap, Mazda has no chance with that current powerplant in there Lola prototypes.

 

There isn't a ban on rotaries.

 

R.G., Your pissing into the wind. They don't listen. This myth will just be repeated.

 

Oh i forgot ,my bad.
The rules were changed to make the rotary uncompetitive. Well the rules need to change.

 

Mazda is even allowed to run a turbo rotary. Why don't they? When they were running the R20B powered Courage a few years ago I asked them about it. They said that while they would gain some power, the RX-8 doesn't have a turbo so a turbo on the race engine wouldn't be indicitive of their street engine. I fail to see how a peripheral port 3 rotor is even relevant to the RX-8 anyways. Strange logic. They had cooling problems with no turbo though so adding one wasn't going to make things any better in that regards. In the end it's all politics.

 

Its always red tape and politics.
Hopefully one day we will be able to see a rotary powered prototype race again.

 

that, sir, is quite hilarious.

I know I did a face palm when that happened, lol. There back out on the track again but for how long?????

 

The corvette team lost there steam after that mishap in the pits. 8 laps down , It will be a miracle if they can catch back up. Team BMW are running strong, impressive results this year at Sebring!
