Saw this on a Speedsources FB post. I hope they make it into this area sometime later in the year.

it will never be popular--i am afraid.
although the R&D Mazda will obtain will be worth it--i guess.

Nice! Can't wait to see it race...

Is that Dempsy racing?

Yeah, that is the Dempsy car, not the Speedsource car. Speedsource's is all black.


There should be a 3rd 6 around the paddock, that of Freedom Autosport's in green, white, and blue coloring. (the green trailer behind the car in a few pics is theirs)

Last weekends testing day at Homestead.

That wasn't the final color of the car. That was introduced at the Detroit auto show a week ago.

Ah ok. Red then.

Though I see a Visit Florida (one of Dempsy's sponsors) sticker on the #70 too? Just above the roof-line of the #00 in that pic. I guess they are expanding their sponsorship?

TANKERG

Interesting. Is that going to be full grand am or continental?

And that 70 car livery is badass!

Assuming you refer to Freedom? That is the GX class that their 6 is in. They still have their Miata's in the ST class.

Good to see them running that car. They are extremely competitive in ST, and have always been fantastic to the fans at every corral.

00 is Speedsource/ Yellow Dragon. Similar livery to Dempsey's rx8 (Visit Florida) from last year, but Mazda and Dempsey have gone their seperate ways for now. Yes,Yellow Dragon also raced an rx8(Window World) a few times last year.

I hope they do well this year. But I just don't have the same connection with the Mazda6 as I did with the RX8.

TANKERG

Wish the rear wings were cool off the track! Kind of like people dressing like Neo or cowboys. Cool in the movies, not on the street

Habs24 7

Agree- one of the most bad-*** looking race cars ever, imo. Live, or on tv.

TANKERG

I guess what I was ignorantly asking, was the 6 going to run in the Rolex series haha. I found it online and read they were starting a third class, so that should be exciting. Just wish the broadcast wouldn't be 85% DP.

Good luck getting much air time when theres 36 GT cars and only 6 GX cars. All the Mazda 6's will be running in GX, against the faster Porsche Cayman GT.

Given the intention of the GX class being alternative fuels, alternative technology like hybrid and forced induction...



Why is the Cayman in the GX class?
