Definitely, their straight line speed would be enough to give them a huge advantage, and the down force (rear wing) is decreased this year, this will only make them faster. Also they can double stint their tires and Audi can't (yet).

Hopefully they don't waste anytime in the pit stops

I have more night shots but there of poor quality. I hope you guys enjoyed the pics, had a good time this year at Sebring, hopefully more of you guys can join in on the fun next year!

 

very nice pics daily. ty for the treat

 

No prob! I was so mad though, the Caddies didn't run in the speed world challenge and the Gallardo GTR just sat in the paddocks looking pretty. It was suppose to run as the mechanic verbally told me from there team , so i really don't know what happen?! I was so dissapointed.... , perhaps at St Pete the gallardo will run, still debating if i am going to that race or not knowing that Audi and the Compuserve Corvettes wont be there either.

 

great pics daily,,, Ive always loved the way Flying Lizards reflective graphics react with flashes...

 

Falken Ford gt was not there?

 

Panoz planning on returning to LMP1 class by the end of this race season! WOOHOO!

awesome,,, I saw thier car in the ALMS race that was at DC years ago,,, the track was so tight that the Audis couldnt stretch thier legs and the the then dubbed "Batmobile" won the race outright... That car sounded amazing almost like a chuncky steam engine, it chugged,,,,

 

Too bad the Mazda-Lola did not even put up a fight.

This car should definitely give Lamborghini, Ferrarri, Saleen, Porsche, Audi, Aston Martin and Corvette a run for there money.

 

^its definitely bigger than them

 

Late on the news, but here is the outcome of the Long beach race in California.
Mazda needs to get there head in the game!
There faster in the straits, they just need to push it harder in the corners and stay focus. This is the third race Acura has shown them up!

What a GORGEOUS CAR!

 

2nd and 3rd in class with a 4th and 5th finish overall is actually pretty good. Far better than we've seen from a Mazda in ALMS in a long time. If they can at least keep finishing races, it'll only be a matter of time before they win one.

I agree...

I am just anxious to see them win! It would have been bitter sweet to see them win Sebring so I could have rubbed the sweet victory in my buddies face! lol!

 

OH BABY YEAH!!!!!

taht would be cool if they keep their car that way. looks like a total beast. much better then the friendly yellow .

 

Here is a photo i took at Sebring this year. There are more, but I haven't had a chance to pull them off the camera yet.

 

that loooks nice. wish penske was still in the game.

 

UPDATE! 24 Hour of Lemans airing on June 13th on speed channel.

In ALMS, Dyson Motorsports almost beat the Lowes Acura at Miller race way, another 2nd and 3rd place finish for them. Every race there getting so close to holding onto 1st position, the Dyson Mazda cars were clearly faster than the Acura, but problems and long pits prevented them from winning again.

On a happier note, Tremblay and the boys claimed another victory at Laguna Seca(Mazda Raceway)! They put up a fine fight and led 3/4 of the race! The #70 car is running the new 09 nose which gave them more downforce on the track, looking at that car in motion you could tell it was sticking to the track better. Congrats to the Speedsource team!


The SpeedSource Castrol Syntec Mazda RX-8 currently sits 18 points from the championship leader. The next round of the Rolex Sports Car Series will take place at Watkins Glen International Raceway for a 6-hour endurance race on June 6th. Catch the action live on SPEED at 2pm EST
