Dyson Racing Mazda ALMS cars to try Butanol

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.

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.

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!
