Mazdaspeed 3 (MPS) At Bathurst 12 Hour..Australia

"The Mazda brand has enjoyed great success at Mount Panorama in past endurance events and Shephard believes the Mazda 3 MPS is a wolf in sheep's clothing as a road car and is confident his crew can turn it into real fox on the race track.>

There was one listed in the initial starting line up...I can't get the actual grid as yet...still taking new race entrants...

I have been in contact with Mazda Australia's customer assistance manager, she says to watch their "news" link...

I think there will be an announcement...
This is what I think we will see from Mazda...

Mazda 3 MPS...confirmed.
Mazda 6 MPS...used in the Targa Rally Tasmania last year by MA
Mazda RX-8...by MA

Mount Panorama at Bathurst is without any doubt the 2nd best track anywhere in the world...

When the FD first came out it WON 3 years in a row...against 911's and V8's

Only 500 Bathurst FD's were made - that would be a cool collector car.
