Don't forget to watch the GT race on speed channel tomorrow
Don't forget to watch the GT race on speed channel tomorrow at 8:30 PM EST, 5:30 PM PST. I forget sometimes and only see the thread after the fact.
Here's hoping for three in a row!!! Go Team Mazda!!! Good luck to our boys at Speedsource!!! Makes me proud to own an RX8.

Yeah, I saw them at Daytona this year and they were awesome (to borrow a word from Jeff Gordon). 
However, the cars are about as much like an RX-8 as a 787B. But so what, they look and sound awesome (there I go again).
Just to make it clear, the race is at VIR and will be aired same day Saturday at 8:30 PM EDT. Wheee, I'll be on the same track in June.

Saw It!
Great coverage.
Too bad that the lead Porsche decided that it needed that little bit of track being used by the #70 that had just overtaken/passed it. The Porsche got the bad end of that bet, and I don't believe the #70 knew it had been hit until the pits informed him. In-car coverage from the RX doesn't even show a 'jiggle' from the touch.
Speedsource #70 took 2nd behind a Fernsbacher-Loles Porsche. #69 was in 6th place, and then dropped to 11th just before the finish. I am not sure what happened.
That was a BUSY race. If they re-run it, it is worth watching just to see how many Porsches can take themselves out of a race without any help at all, and without touching another car. There are a couple NEAR misses that are absoultely entertaining to watch! And watching a Pontiac act as a lawnmower was pretty good too.
The racing was top notch, although the course looked a little skinny. There were LOTS of cars dropping a wheel or two into the dirt at a lot of places around the course.

Rotary Crawfish
The Posrche radiators are sooooo coooll!!! If you have any off track driving like dropping a wheel off the pavement the rad or at least the overflow tank goes BOOM!
Just for the record what do these cars put out HPwise?
I would think that the Porsches are way more powerful than the Rotary.
