epic dogfight, ****** brilliant line choice at 8:13, i can just feel the driver thinking, GO GO GO GO GO GO GO! for a bit there it looked like the rx8 was losing traction but man couldn't have cut that corner cleaner with a razor knife

The Driver the 8 was really good and the sound of the 3 rotor is just godly! It was crazy how the rx-8 was beating the gt3 in corners and the gt3 is beating the rx-8 in braking and straight line speed(but not by much at all).

I wish they could be turbo. But in the other hand at least they let them use a 3 rotor.. sometimes Rules suck...

Awesome vid - quality is a little poor though. You can definitely see the difference in handling between the two cars. The porsche is slow on corner entry but has an extremely fast corner exit speed...while the RX-8 is much faster on corner entry but slower on corner exit.

That was definitely some exciting 8+ minutes of racing!!!!

Mazda has a great racing history, I doubt anyone is truly surprised that is out there.

Nice! He lost a bit cool in the first curves after the first overtake of the Porsche but still amazing driving.

Yeah very cool vid, really showcases both cars strengths and weaknesses. Porsche fella held him off for a lil while, but in the end he couldnt keep using his big *** to block off that pesky lil bastard, lol, good driver.
